Is everyone coping well, or is it just me?

Fresh grads getting $5000 starting pay.
Many people around me getting $8000-15000 a month, seems like norm.
Food is so expensive now, I take just 1-2 meals a day.
Even dining out is less frequent these days because of inflation.

I have enough for CNY spendings, but it is tight.
so i am contemplating to surrender a life policy for cash.

If there is a lock-down this coming CNY, then my cash will not be so tight.
Don't need to visit, don't need to interact too.
 
Living SHELTERED lives in Singapore will often makes one feel as you do.

Ultimately, it is what one's self centered expectations that will demoralize oneself in the face of REALITIES.

It is easy to compare what one has in Singapore, to others, & even to neighboring countries on their economy & lifestyles, as the grass is seemingly greener on the other side WITHOUT looking into the DEPTHS of the social & economic issues they faced daily.

Such perhaps is TOO DEEP even for the Sheltered Singaporean fresh grad to even begin to understand, till he/she goes on a sabbatical vacation to TRULY see the World beyond what is portrayed on social media, youtube & worse tik tock & truly live life beyond expectations on financial terms...

It is not just you but then the world has evolved. Thanks to inflation and taxation. Plus all kinds of gadgets you dont really need decades ago.
