just curious got for those who work in Singapore but stay in JB, normal working hour (9-5) and daily commute to SG via car.
How was your experience and any tips or concerns that i should be considering?
other than tiredness from driving, i will get
- more money and savings
- bigger house
- better food
- no NS for my son
- int school for my son than sg gov school (not to say not good but i don't like the competitiveness there)
- better places to go during weekend
- more money and savings
and i can also consider renting a room in SG and go back only during weekends, if i am really too tired.
want to hear from all perspective.
This has been a quiet thread, unlike the old days. Thought about this thread because someone PM me asking about daily commutingHow was your experience and any tips or concerns that i should be considering?

Anyway assuming your family all stay in JB the savings allow you to travel overseas more frequent
You can continue to pressure your kids to be competitive academically so they can emerge top in their school. For the same effort in SG they probably only turn out mediocre (due to competitiveness there)
