means ur salry is really high enough for u to spend such an expenses every month

Yea..i thought people went to SG to save money,but you still can have a enjoyable life over there must be earning high enough right?

why people nowadays dont like to share room in order to save money???

Its about privacy....
i don't mind share room with the person that i know such as friends...
but share room with others that i don't know is quite risky for me.....

not necessary.
depend on where you work, u can rent somewhere closer which is not that exp
hence saving on room and transport.
700 is quite a lot for room.
common room in woodlands half a year ago was around 500.
if u are into savings...hp can go prepaid.

i think cant go wrong with either one, since u jobless now
both choice also u will be able to sustain at the moment

is a matter of opportunity for higher income, i am not in automative
so i can only share my experience which is now 10 year ahead from wheer u now
what i did was i spend 4+ plus year in sg, then 5+ years in kl, almost 2 year now back in SG

every transition is very painful at the beginning, u can share a room with fren, to bring down your cost
i started by sleeping in a living room on floor

GF wise, just say i change a few and happily marry now with kid, dun let them hold u back

btw, im juz curious, how much is the average salary for Senior Engineer in semicon industry based in SG?

http://forums.salary.sg/income-jobs/

u can benchmark here from their thread,
from what i gather a dying industry in sg

GF wise...i wonder if i can get 1....since i m working in construction field...lolx...

Working in SG really can help us save alot compare to KL? Started working life in SG is not that easy especially room's price are sky high ...

why you SG first then gop back malaysia and come back SG again?
Marriage with SG people?

just curious why you every 5 years transition change ?

From this stage i think i will not go back Malaysia while BN still manage Malaysia.....
I am PKR supporter..and always vote PKR...

If 1 day PKR win, i definately go back...wawasan 2020 is achievable....
From what i see now...penang gov is doing a wonderful job and keep going the right track...selangor also the same things

I think sgd2k is pretty low. no much left after deducting food and lodging expenses.

FYI...
my young brother get sgd 1250 and he can survive and save money also...he also manage contribute RM 500 per month for parents....

Its about how you do it....

coz there are people like me who like to sleep naked

agreed
is more on how u live ur life.
u everyday wan go clubbing and booze, then definitely not enough.

if you talking about eat-sleep-work kinda rotation, that's not normal for me in the 1st place. for me personally, I can't .

if in KL and you are getting 3k pay, it is also almost eat-sleep-work kinda rotation. What else you want if you cant get a higher paid job? You only can imporve once you progress in life.

If you are getting sgd10k now....do you think a billionaire will want the kind of life with a 10k salary? Different people living in different income brackets see things differently.

I've already stated, for me personally I'm unable to do that. If you are in the situation, you should ask yourself, why can't you get a better pay? what's lacking for you to get a better pay?

I am not in that situation, i cant answer it. But for many, if you ask them that question, they may ask you back, Do i have a choice?....especially the banggala labors. There may be someone with a diploma or just a form 6 cert and also want to come here to work but getting less than 2k paid. What choices they have? Work as admin clerk, ask them to improve further? I guess it is easy to say.

move because better $ and hitting the ceiling, not going anywhere
marry kl gal, 5 years transition is co-incidence
