Housewife: U must earn at least $5k to survive in Singapore !!!
- Thread starter batman1
- Start date
Passed by a HDB provison shop,2 housewives were comparing notes and complaing how sky-high the costs of living in singapore : water & electricty charges up drastically,expensive piano lessons,marketing expenses go up,transport fees go up,property prices go up,car prices go up....etc ... except wages .The more they talk ,the more agitated they become.Then 1 housewife screamed :Must earn $5000.00 than can balance ! Must earn $5000.00 then can balance ! Must earn $5000 then can balance !
The stress of financial burden has taken a toll on all sinkees.:*:
Tuan. Agree.
The problem is compounded by the fact that they are not ging back OUR hard-earned Cpf money at age 55.
We can highlight this CPF issue and keep it alive in online forum to let Singapore and the Whole World know about it.
The CPF-Life is a scam to delay our entitled withdrawal date from 55 to 65...and further.
That's why we call them the PAP Bandits.
Agreed that the cost of living in Singapore has gone high which is why I have decided to invest in a service apartments and have given it out for rent to earn that extra income. Any income saved now will be very beneficial for the future of our kids.

$5k? You can live comfortably on less than half of that without a wife and kids.
Of course, if you're a m&d you can do with even less.
It means you're gonna be a living zombie contributing to the coffers of the MIWs just to have a roof like a pigeon hole over your head and to be still able to walk to the nearest polling station to cast a vote for them every 5 years and to be continuing to getting screwed again for another 5 years!
Mat can do it at $1500 before CPF and have 5 kids
They have many kids cos their god say cannot use condoms mah.
I think you meant the Catholics.

Car repayment - $1.3k
Car related expenses - $800
Mortgage - $2k+
Household expenses - $1.5K
Kids misc - $1K
Then on top of that also got the money going into education fund, insurance etc. $600 a month into dbs savings account, $420 for insurance. At the end of every month, got no money for moi :(
