infant care costing me 2k sgd.
immunisation and doctor checkup recently sgd200
giving birth costs abt 8k sgd (thankfully simple, otherwise emergency c section another 4k).

if u singaporean, at least after subsidy only 1.3k.
singaporean baby can go polyclinic i think alnost free for immunisation.

getting a confinement lady from jb recently cost me abt sgd3.5k (theres a 200 bucks levy, application fee for her nanny permit, and sum rule abt angpaos etc)

singapore is safe for u physically, but i hope u make alot of money so that u can withstand the very real financial pressures.

my friend recently, after working 5 years here as a professional (earning abt 8k pm now) finally got the downpayment to buy a 700k condo. (400+ sq ft). if married and both PR or citizen can buy hdb can easily save a big chunk of that.

Fiona-jie u sure onot? Move back means sacrificing your GCB and X5 leh!
