""- Are singaporean willing to accept a lower pay?
. the low pay must be self sustainable with enough to support 2 aging parents. low enough?""
I just testify with my personal experience.
1. I used to earn $7500 basic salary with cpf. I used to work 5 days 9 to 5:30.
2. Due to lack of jobs created, i now cannot find the job that i used to do. I now earn $1200 basic and 9 hour days , 6 days a week, off day is only on 1 weekday. The best part if EVERY HOLIDAY is working day as this is the best sales day of all for my boss. Every weekend and holiday work , i am earning the same per day rate as when i work during weekdays.
I have a house a car bought when i was enjoying good pay. Monthly expenses is higher than may basic pay can afford. I still have to pay and pay that CPF. This simply means lower nett income. I am nearing 40 and with this crisis i have no financial means to even think about marriage.
This salary is of course not enough. Each month I still need to withdraw money from the bank to cover expenses. But even so, i still take up such jobs. I am a singaporean. Here I testify. I am the evidence.
