QUOTE(eXTaTine @ May 4 2018, 11:24 PM) A lot of people think work in SG very nice. But unless u wanna be baggala 4eva alone in SG, don't come down for less than 10kSGD. Here is why: Why is it surprising? You want to raise a family in one of the world most expensive city and compete with the rest of the middle class there, sgd 15k surely barely enough la. Even in Malaysia, rm15k is barely enough after taxes etc.My boss 15k salary, got 2 kids, aged 7 and 2 International School : 3k/month(1 kid) = left 12k Car : 1.5k monthly for installment and upkeep costs = left 10.5k Condo in a decent part of SG: 3.5k = left 7k Maid plus costs of maid: 1k = left 6k Food cost for family of 4 plus maid : 1.5k = left 4.5k Minus taxes, trips back to home country and misc expenses, you can see how it really is barely enough. You could probably cut a bit here and there, like getting a cheaper condo and private but as foreigner, you really have some costs that can't be avoided as some things like public housing and public school is not available to you. So minimum to survive in SG with a foreigner with a family i would say is 10k So /k/, Don't come to SG unless got 10k sgd. Inb4 20k minimum |

This thread is to prevent competition into Singapore. TS got no growth liao so he scared his company fire him.
My cousins and friends working and living in Singapore with less than 10K also alive and happy. Singaporean friends who also earn less than 10K also didn't see them suffer. |

QUOTE(deodorant @ May 5 2018, 12:13 PM) Is throwing away 30-40hours a week of your life on travelling really "a better life?" No other options in Malaysia? My father is a farmer and mom a housewife. Grew up poor. My dad gave me a good education and as a banker I only earn at max rm4k plus ot.I'm not a very smart person hence my job skill doesn't bring me anywhere much. I chose to go sg, I earn 2.9x in exchange for long journeys. If I were in kl, my hours maybe also wasted in oversleeping, gaming and maybe u productive activities. Life is not the same for everyone. Some had a easier choice, others less. I think I'm blessed. It maybe tough but its my choice. Plus, I have a fear in driving so singapore is made for me >< |
