how about with 5 children?

you are right!

Bullshit. I'm single with 1 car and 1 bike, 17k also tak cukup

According to EPF people with 5 children don't exist

In some culture in different parts of the world, having many children is a status symbol. At that level, no need to do Belanjawan

some people with many wives have 10 children or more.

min 20k i think

inb4 they don't contribute to EPF

i'll give a realistic example of what i just paid
same type...both Viking City Tech CT6(185/60R14)

in klang valley, i can get RM140 for each donut....so i paid RM280 for both(3 months old)
in sabah...that very same tyre is RM250 each final price ....so i paid RM500 for the same tyre but older by many months
in sabah, toyo proxes CR1 is also RM250/donut

and this is just viking, i haven't even go to better brand like continental, hankook yet
there's a reason lesser and lesser shops in sabah carry continental...it's getting too expensive
i know because i used to use continental CC5 thn CC6 and then that continental shop i used to go don't even sell continental anymore(but the shop big big continental outside)

your house is very big in heaven

melaka public transport is real shit lollll

not surprised memang high, when i balik PJ. things are cheaper/food etc

If you just spend at where Singkies are spending of course expensive la. Gotta venture out a bit to where locals are spending. Still alright one

Yeah right, my company lorry driver earns RM3.5k monthly, wife is not working and has 3 kids. Also no problem pun.

if based on public transport, to reach home i need to add in additional 1 hour walk each back and forth....unless take taxi or grab

This happen to me lol....
My mom heart surgery.....
And after effect....
Now 20k+ in debt.....

Electric monthly 150~190
Water 3 month 40~50
Unifi 140 (plan downgrade to 100mbps)
Mobile 40

Ur unifi cost 140 for 100 Mbps?
It is high if yes
Now is 89/99 only for 100Mbps

Looking at some replies, obviously most assuming their own spending as minimum expenses
If 3K is insufficient to meet minimum expenses, then how they going to survive with?
Those 2,3K single or 5,6K income with 2,3kids will not have spending behavior like most of ktard here

epf not helpful.
what people want is

Yes , Sabah n sarawak house and food expenses are relatively high compared to most of Klang valley area, meanwhile average income is really low
I would say their food prices are almost same with KL PJ especially city center
Btw Klang food is no longer cheap

I m surprised and not surprised when know the difference of tyre prices at Sabah n Klang valley
Surprise bcoz of 100% difference
Not surprise bcoz of Sabah and Sarawak import almost everything from west Malaysia, that's why so big price gap

not just tyres...i would say everything that we're buying on a daily basis is more expensive in sabah than in klang valley
another one is car battery
engine oil is also another one
fruits, vegetable are also more expensive because everything is shipped in via WM

so don't understand how the chart is like that

and i can still get single digit food price in PJ, in bukit bintang if you know where to find it but i can't in sabah anymore
my mom recently come to klang valley and is shocked by how cheap here can be compared back in sabah
