u start a family before?

never buy house or car or go hospital before they dun know how expensive

it is known that singapore has the highest living cost

i know a junior who once work in SG before but now settle back to Malaysia. he say SG is expensive

he is able to lead a better quality of life in malaysia there

ur junior head back to which part of malaysia?

ur junior have a family and decided to bring back his family to msia?

My senior who once gave up singapore for KL, he eventually return to sg after a year. he said KL is expensive. he is a 40 plus year old uncle already. and yes he owns a car in SG, house and is already a citizen and his kids are already in poly n school.

I am single

Haha yeah... From Aftershock.

It's alright if it lasts me for 5-6 years.

At first I cap my budget at 1.8k then increase and increase and increase... tongue.gif

Spend d just forget about it biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
But don't forget in Malaysia even if you never buy insurance you go to public hospitals will be very cheap. One plus thing about Malaysia biggrin.gif

Good or not depends la...
Sometimes 0 sometimes 1k sometimes 1.5k. Depends on mood. I earn 3k+ only la... Those who earn 5-7k single no wet no prawn should be able to save easily 3-4k.

that is the good side about msia is the medicine that if u go gov hospital, u get free also, if not fork out like a few tens

but how many ppl u see in KL or some big cities, middle income that would be willing to wait in gov hospital for attendance

most will go private

the price u need to pay in sg is for HOUSING (CONDO, excl HDB bcuz it is affordable also thx to CPF), medicine and car (due to the fact that u have to scrap after 10years of use, but price wise, a camry in msia is more expensive that a camry in sg after COE)

the regular usage of MRT/LRT cost per year is more than double than the rides u take in SG dollar vs dollar

used to take LRT from Kelana Jaya to KLCC where I work. Last year it was RM3.50 one way. now it is RM4. RM0.50 increase

RM8 to and fro to my previous KLCC office per day just using MRT/LRT

excluding parking your car at parking lot to take the lrt to office

bus in KL is still sucky and they dun have SG public transport discount which ever ride u take, max accumulated is SGD2
