QUOTE(melt @ Nov 27 2019, 10:21 AM) Not exactly cheap, isn't it? QUOTE(irise.ufall @ Nov 27 2019, 10:25 AM) That's more expensive than the RM7.50 kt soup you compared with. You earn Sgd3k vs RM5k but you still have to pay more for food after conversion.

QUOTE(kenji1903 @ Nov 27 2019, 10:21 AM) 1. that range no where near middles class 2. you are slightly better off with SGD5k compared to RM5k, thinking that you can have RM15k lifestyle with SGD5k salary is just plain 3. RM5k and SGD3k won't get the same lifestyle... don't cheat yourself agreed. RM15K already driving BMW and traveling 3-4 times a year, while SGD5K only stuck in pigeon hole with 6 digits in the bank account because it's stupid to buy a car and company dont approve leave to travel  (not enough public holiday as well) and SG kiasu culture is challenging each other who got it cheaper, while malaysian kiasu culture is challenging who paid more. So if assimilated into SG kiasu culture, one will end up saving even more This post has been edited by Bonchi: Nov 27 2019, 10:43 AM

SGD3k is fresh grad salary, MYR5k is how many years?
diff phase of life, diff lifestyle
if u middle age alr but still gunning for SGD3k salary in SG, my opinion is dont do it, u will regret. Stay in Malaysia.
If fresh grad, by all means

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Nov 27 2019, 10:35 AM) To be fair, SG is SG, KL is KL. its 2 different country with 2 different culture. There are things which is a "MUST HAVE" in Malaysia while you dont need it in SG. For example. U got date amoi / awek in KL, u no car u think they wanna go out with u take Grab? When you date SG chicks, its normal they go take MRT / bus. If you have a car its a bonus. its normal to take public transport to work, it's never normal to take public transport to date what's more malaysian guys are a level lower in the eyes of a amoi sinki

When i was start earning rm5k monthly...i could afford to save like rm 2k monthly. Someetimes rm2.5k...if thrs emergency expenditure, icoild still save 1.5k monthly...
Rm5k if ur single and dont have a big head(start want to pakai bangsa H, godcar, load urself up with credit card and loan debt etc2) is a very comfort like already.

QUOTE(testinglabha @ Nov 27 2019, 09:39 AM) Let discuss this Scenarios: Malaysian stay at KL, earn RM5000 salary VS Malaysian stay at Singapore, earn SGD3000 salary Who actually earn more if both of them continue Live Same Lifestyle (No "Kuli" life, but not luxury life either, just comfortable middle class life)? p.s. do consider stuff like EPF thingy, etc QUOTE You would need around 1,223.81S$ (3,737.93RM) in Kuala Lumpur to maintain the same standard of life that you can have with 3,000.00S$ in Singapore (assuming you rent in both cities). This calculation uses our Cost of Living Plus Rent Index to compare cost of living. This assumes net earnings (after income tax). You can change the amount in this calculation. sauce: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compa...patchComparison
