yep i'm sharing.. but can also find cheap rooms, but have to stay with owner lo.. haha...

Now waiting for application status of wp , very scare the permit rejected .

She is one of those rich kids, think as those 2nd generation rich PRC that always create a scene and got upload to youtube haha. One of the contributor to the sky high property price by hoarding few houses. Never understand bottom and middle class people's problem one.

Fixed, lol.

Let's do the math for 'normal' people. Singapore median income last year according to MOM was $3,000. Hubby + Wife = $6,000, of which $4,800 masuk poket, $1,380 (including employer portion) goes to CPF OA. Of $4,800, assume that $1,800 is bare minimum expenses. So the couple's savings available for housing purchase is $3,000+$1,380 per month, or $52,560 per year. In order to own a 1.6mil condo, assume 20% downpayment, 8% BSD+ABSD = roughtly $460k. Loan is $1.28mil, monthly repayment $4,295.

X6, xDrive35i (A) Price: $425,800, Down Payment $212,900 (Maximum 50% loan), Installment $3,882/mth.

So in best case scenario the couple needs to save close to 13 years to buy that condo and X6, and in all that 13 years they need to live frugally, have no kids, no holidays, no entertainment, etc ... and after they make the purchase, they still can't pay the monthly installments needed of $8k

We should not be bitter, and aspire to be able to afford better. ^^

We dunno her parents is rich, n she's msian.. Maybe she's one of those hardworkers dat did very well in school.. Top 5% of any singkie gomen school gets $8000 salary.. Maybe her hubbby too.. So $16k fresh grad lor.. Possible

Waa, deodorant can breakdown so well.. No wonder he's top analyst in big bank.. Yet still so humble

Yea, work hard! Let's all strive to buy $1.6 mill condo..

Haha..I also dint expected ..when they send me offer letter only realize .

Any sober mind formers here also can do the calculation n many don't even need to think further. Even buy a Toyota vids also think 3 - 4 times.

When she taruh a 1.6 mil condo. It is still understandable, but putting in the close to half a mil x6, I don't see any logic there except to show off or troll

Urgent.. im looking for a room in sg. Can someone advice me to looking for a room in sg? Normally they will place room to rent ads at notice board or what?

cold storage got notice boards too ...

Most probably is EP. If you're a degree holder.

I am trying to give some figure for starting a family in SG, just like the listed living cost in the 1st page which is more to a single person. You can take the car out, but at least must have a roof over the family.

When foreigner come here they not local so HDB out straight away. Would take sometime to get PR. Some family cannot buy a HDB even after they become PR. New PRs - wait three years, only one PR other half home maker, dependent PR - like not eligible - this one I not sure, have properties overseas.

The smallest 2 bedroom condo 800-900 sq ft also cross the 1 mil mark already.

Personally I think car is a necessity when you have a family, especially with young kids. Not to bring out the X6, main point its the 50% down payment. MY 10% down payment, opt for Perodua if starting out, few k can get you a car. SG 50%, with COE its min 50-60k to come out with a car.

Hence my point, working in SG seems good in the beginning with cheaper goods, travel, exchange rate, but ultimately family is the final goal.

2 people's 8 years effort of breakfast at home, home cook lunch at pantry, home cook dinner at home, no luxury items, no cab, no personal holidays, downloaded drama at home, pirated movies.

Nah not show off or troll. Those numbers are the real thing you will need to face one day if you plan to stay here for sometime. Its like those people who say their single air con room rent is 600-700, they are not showing off or trolling our dorm bunny rabbit who rent a bed for 180. For the car may be, but its unintentional as mentioned.

only bus stops at hubs/mrt are designated to be legal ad posting areas... bus stops at residential areas that arent designated wont have ads lor

now u had clarified it sounds legit... life is tough for singkie also, is that why reproduction rate goes down?

anyway, i think if u cant buy, can also rent hdb lor.. or if u r working at the west, can stay in jhr and drive msian car in...

why u dont believe in dorms? it is pretty decent... just that ppl from certain countries bring their filthy way of living that ruins dorm living... example; where d hell ppl cook in their bedroom 1, dapao food la...



if u live neatly and in a hygienic manner, it is livable.. here're some info to share for those whose pocket is tight; *did u know 800k workers live in sg dorms our of 1.3 mill FTs?
