To gal who want to live in Semi D, high lifestyle...... many kids.... Yup.. 10k is a must......

To a couple who loving each other, dont mind stay at normal 2 bedroom house... but important happy everyday.....

Hehehe....

I reckon more than 12k.

If I'm not mistaken, I had a tuition teacher who used to earn around 10 to 15k a month. Depends on how many hours of tuition he gives. He was around 40ish.

12k is not alot when you have a family of 3 or 4 assuming you (the spouse) does not work. This is also assuming that you want a fairly comfortable life and save up for your children's oversea education. I think with 12k and 1 children you will probably be going from hand to mouth for the next 2 to 3 years. With a new kid in the house, you will be needing alot of things to support him/her. Private medicate bills alone is not cheap!(nothing wrong with wanting the best for your kid within your ability). A small example, Think of how when a small company starts up, it will need alot of capex (capital expenditure) but after a few years of running, the company's cash flow builds up and it wouldn't be so heavily leaden on the investor's cash. Same as starting a family, first few years will be tough.

Alot of sarcrafice is needed. Especially on your husband side. Moving from singlehood or rather datinghood to family man is not easy. Got to let go some stuff he treasure... like a posh apartment, sports car, holiday, shopping, etc...

But best of luck! I'm sure you will survive.

Ideal income would be 15k and above....

aw man imho the girls need to chip in and work hard as well not that guys are not to be depended upon, but you must never put all your eggs into one basket (i.e. don't get married then expect his salary to cover all expenses)

my mom' friend, all the savings share with the husband, in the end the husband spend the money on the mistress, even send the mistress go kdu and study... ou... char tou u__u" and then the poor auntie, in the early 50s but don't have her own money because everything tied up with the cheating husband, so sad oh

guys..
save money for future..^^

it is depends on the lifestyle of wive, if wive is housewive, then hubby gotta earn >10k per month
if wive is working then prolly 5k -7k would b enuff for living.

assume a normal house worth 300k @ kl with 2 cars and 1 kid, all are under repayment period

the old always said..

"公一份， 婆一份"

meaning, husband earn one part, wife earn one part to maintain household expenses

with this attitude.. 10k not enough for u.. don't burden him. You know what u want. so.. look for a wealthy guy which has 10k to spent and 10k to save. realistic.......

yerrr so nice "IF" i were to earn 5 k hmmm....

everybody wants unlimited money.... i think she trying to point out here is what is the minimum her future husband should earn after getting married to live a comfortable life.

all i can say is depend on your lifestyle. if u want branded handbags, jewelery and many other luxury items in your life. 10K is not enough.

if u want live a normal life without luxury, 10K is definitely more than enough.

normal life enough ba..
luxurious ...scare thief ...
poor scare no money...
in the middle ....mmmh..u think

this thread pressures me to the max...
next time must find kampung girl who don't care a lot about money issue and easily satisfied mwaha.

kampung gal does not guarantee she wont be like this too..
its either she will be needing an average one or posh.

u will notice her drastic change.

Im now starting to get worried about my future.
afraid gf will say the same thing like TS do. haihhhhhhhhhh........

I think earning 6.5 k at 28 years old is quite alot. Bravo! Not many people can earn 10k nowadays...but seems like everyone here earns alot. Ur BF is a consultant for US Company? What does he do...engineer...what type?

kampung girl now also very smart edy le..
u ingat apa..
now got internet edy le..
even kampung also surfing ..
haha

yet...org kampung more rich than town ppl..

Judging by TS' income n bf's income, both of u muz b having a rather posh n lavish lifestyle...

For me, 10k is enuf depends on how u live, juz like other ppl said...If u own a Proton now with 3k salary, once u get 8k salary, u'll want a Evo, then as u become richer, u'll want Benz/BMW then porsche.. if that's d case, even if u earn 100k will oso b too little for u to spend coz humans have unlimited desire...

Plan well n control ur desire, even a married couple with a combo pay of 6k can also survive in city

No offence ya

In Damansara Perdana household income must be RM30,000 per month.
If not move to Kuala Trengganu with a modest household income of RM6,000 per month.

I think every1 is not being realistic here....
IN average in around 30, a guy would usually only reach abt 3~5k depending on the qualification n jobs..

PLs be honest here, plp. Not much guys earns 10k by 30..

thank god i can...but same like hitsugayat said.....desire will really screw up ur whole budget...but what to do...sometimes really like that thing...now feeling rm10k also not enough after reading this thread..
