Not really, if u talking about just normal expenses eg. food, rent, etc then yes MY might live comfortable, but if factor other thing that you going spent especially gadget, phone, oversea travel then u will see the different. Buying an iphone working in SG only quarter of your salary, while MY is half of your salary. When come to family oversea travel expenses, if u spend 10K SGD basically can buy an axia or something in MY.

Anyone here have any recommendation website/method of finding room to let in SG ? so far the website i see does not have much listing.

Or does someone here have any lobang ? office at Central, but currently staying at East and i kinda like it as i cycle every weekend and East have a lot of PCN.

Thanks in advance.

noted, will check it out. thx

If u put it this way then is more up to individual definition of "live comfortable", some prefer owning big car big house have absolutely own private time living in MY spending in MY is comfortable. Other definition, is live comfortable in small house/room but have a lot of more disposable incoming to travel overseas, buy anything they please.

Truth is, SGD4K have more spending power than RM7.5K, it depend on which lifestyle you choose to live. And most come to SG is just not so simply about SGD4K vs RM7.5K. Most see no future in MY for their next generation, especially non-bumi.

u do know that PR (spouse) can buy HDB right ? 2 bedroom HDB cost 300K and above depend on location, so is not all about renting room. 4K salary for 300K house totally manageable, compare to 500K condo + 100K car on 7.5k salary.

Is ok, no need to get so defensive, i am just pointing out the fact how other people live nowadays, especially youngster, they prefer to live in small house (not rent room) and spent the rest doing what they like to do. Their logic is simply, house is for them to stay, as long is comfortable, that is good enough, A big house they cant do much in it also, they prefer instead to use those money for travelling with fren and family to have great memory/experience. I cant argue with that, when u meet those ppl and hear about their life seem more interesting.

I am renting in SG, but i have landed house and car in JB paid for my folks. I was once on the same thinking need a big house or car, but now i would choose to bring parent to oversea more often as they are getting older. Of course will require to buy a house when get married, but same logic, comfortable is enough, no need to stay until 6 room HDB or condo. Prefer to have more saving for kids and spend comfortably on thing, rather than tight on budget due to loan.

cheers~~~

ya unlikely scenario, most come SG first and foremost is looking for better pay, if the offer is current RM 7.5k to SGD 4k (which is not really good) then the only reason will make the switch is because of better future potential pay. But we are just replying base on poster assumption.
