Salary nowadays too high, the money need to go some where, into pocket of the landlords.

Hint: Ang moh investment banks. Doesn't matter which degree you got, as long as among the top few of your batch yeah you are hired.

Business school, sounds about right. The top few of them mostly hit above 10k.

Tenant play another role too. Good tenant, landlord happy, continue contract and no rental raise after contract expired. Bad tenant, landlord angry, kick out before or after contract, use deposit to repair finishing and sometime charge extra for damage done to unit.

Objection!!! Not all girls talk gold no talk heart one leh.

Walking is more romantic, especially rainy days now, light drizzle under an umbrella wah like Korean love movie. If rain cat and dogs then find a deserted temple, raise a fire with some woods and wah single boy single girl, dry wood fierce fire, thunder lightning cross over - continue your own version of HK * star movie here hehe. Both are favourable for you.

Long queue for cab, people look at you like you owe them money, screaming kids, certain rude foreign talent pushing you from behind...

Buy some duty free liquor or perfume when you flying back from Changi, save more than the ticket price already.

No need tax if flying back to Malaysia. I don't drink but I buying for my dad and he said that some brandy is cheaper by thousands and you get better assurance of genuine brandy from Changi. I only buy perfume, cosmetic, and that save few hundreds dollar already .

Ya, only entering SG from MY cannot buy, entering MY from SG can.

No la, always buy him 1 bottle Tiger beer, SG product, better.

Wah, doctor, got any MC for us? Which uni you from? They importing fresh doctor now?

If he is a real doctor then mostly . One of you ah?

Push the young PR crowd to private, private price go up, HDB resale will follow closely behind. Where got use.

Good return ma. The landlords bought it for investment so now they getting what they hope for lol. When you own one you will like the price hike. For a unit bought in 2006, the rent is about 1.5 time the installment (on the low side though I heard).

Just happen to know the owner well. If buy now, can't earn much, the rent hard to cover the installment already.

I got both medical card for SG and MY. My MY agent told me I can claim full amount in SG using the MY one? She scam me?

I am old working coolie who work very hard for 7 years to save enough for the little down payment leh. Still need to pay installment until old...

Ask her why she doesn't stay in SG lo. Ask the sons and daughters how their life in SG also. Aunties always boast only the good things around.

Starting on your early career may be better, but setting up a family here is much more expensive. One baby nanny 2.5 k per month, car to transport the baby around, house renovation, baby medical fee. Early this year nephew come for a one month visit, we burnt few months of saving on him. One fever in the middle of night, rush to A&E, test this jab that, bill come out 4 digits .

1Meals, 1Car, 1Petrol and 1House provided free from gahmen, only supper need to pay isit? Or just taking things for granted from your parents?

Lol ya all of us stay in a tiny small unit and work 18 hours for two meals and save only 100 per month to send back home.

Typical see high praise, see low step.

So you mean you comparing with those of us that are not doing as well as you and laugh at us for not earning as much or as easy as you?

Refer to the first page for the average expenses.

Ya correct! We so dumb never thought of the free housing and food.

Hmm... You know the salary they offered to you already, then told you already the expenses is in the first post of this thread (around 1500 btw if you add them up, the figures are contributed by many people here, should be accurate enough for people starting from beginning). Basic maths will tell you how much you will be saving and decide yourself worth or not to move here leaving your friends and family back home lo. Why still keep asking worth or not leh? Those that are here already surely say worth for their situation right.
