QUOTE(MGM @ Dec 21 2025, 10:40 AM) When more of them realise this they would move to Johor to FIREd. Imagine renting out their flat for SGD4k~RM12k, n rent one in Kluang for RM1k with 11k to spend. Going back to SG is easy with ETS+RTS. |

QUOTE(fabu8238 @ Dec 21 2025, 10:38 AM) Cost of living is not only based on eating at SB and MCD, I am sure these are not the items in the cost of living index of Spore. If you own a house, that's pretty much it. Hence, most of them can afford to travel to other countries couple of times yearly.Rental is the most expensive part of the cost of living in sg. Other than that, everything is pretty much affordable. A meal is on average $4 if you eat outside at hawker, average about $7 if you eat at food court. Buying import things, generally sg pay the same as what msia have to pay. Unless those products r made in msia, yes they are more expensive in sg. My average household is about $5k per month for 3 ppl. But in return, we earn at 2x of what we spend. And, yes we are underpaid compared to sgreans. We took up a lower pay to get hired. Else it could easily hit 3x. ruffy_z liked this post

QUOTE(Atrocious @ Dec 21 2025, 09:16 AM) Bestest? Yes, I truly agree. My side here got a fellow suffering from chronic insomnia. Excluding time & $ spent on trip, everytime queue need to spend 3-4 hours just to get the prescription of 5 sleeping pills. No more no less, just 5 tablets.. 5 tablets so expensive to buy at lokal pharmacy meh? Prepare to waste time to save money. |

Sg ppl will always go fly away fr holidays as can't stand staying all the time in their pigeon home n yes most can afford to do so.
