That's because they live beyond their means spending money on luxury items in order to show off.

The survey covered Singaporean candidates holding executive positions across various industries.35% of the candidates surveyed have basic salaries ranging from $2,500 to $3,500 per month. 29% of resp
At 3.5k, with commitment on hdb, car and credit card, will definitely be stretching it.
Living within one means is most important, not sure if this is taught to one's children is even more critical.
A person could be earning 20k/month, but spending 25k, would be in the same situation too.

They tot, let the good times roll since earning 1k can also afford to purchase a Pigeon Hole.

This shows what a good job the PAP is doing. That's why your peers are so well paid.

They should be toiling. Money doesn't fall from trees. It takes hard work.

What are their race?
I'm from the old school who feels uncomfortable about getting into debt. The only time I got into debt was when I got a mortgage to pay for my home. Fortunately I managed to pay it off long ago.
I don't see how anyone can live with so much debt. It must be a constant worry & I suspect i one of the reasons many people are bald or/and have all the white hair, Much of the problems can be traced to the PAP. People were so stupid to allow LKY & company to exploit them all these years. They never consider the true cost e.g. their CPF, housing, all the expensive utilities, COE, ERP, GST, maid levy, ....

Getting into debt is a result of personal decisions. It has nothing to do with government policy.
LKY was my PM for many years and not once did he do or say anything that encouraged debt. In fact, he always preached prudence.
I too only took a loan for housing and paid upfront for everything else including my car. The PAP did nothing to exploit me or any of my family. In fact they did the exact opposite by creating opportunities for all of us to prosper.
If the reality is so good in Sinkland according to you, then you would not need to be so desperate to be a taxi driver.
You better get that mirror of yours ...fixed!
I wish the PAP would practice what they preach.
If you visit Spore you will see the AXS kiosks in the malls. I suggest look under the section labelled "Fines" where you can pay fines to over 10+ different gov't bodies
Other than fines there are all the hidden taxes like CPF. The PAP gov't claims that they are keeping it for the citizens. That is what they told my parents decades ago & this is what they are telling the current generation. Even the PAP supporters don't believe the PAP anymore.
There is also the water conservation tax. Anyone remember the radio & TV tax? Don't forget the user tax for car owners e.g. COE, ERP, road tax, fuel tax, ... Of course you don't need to buy a car but you then face the ever increasing fares of public transport.
If you need a maid to look after the old & young, you must pay the PAP a cut. It is called the maid levy. You will also have to pay the doctors fee for a pregnancy test every 6 months.
If you eat at a food court/hawker centre you are paying for the high rentals. Even if you are just buying groceries there is a gst on food items & in the bill reflects the cost the NTUC is paying for rentals, utilities,...
These are just some of the costs that the PAP is responsible for.

bit confused about what you meant. As far as I know, there are many jobs with title executives e.g. shipping operations exec with typical salary of $1.8k to $2.2k, HR exec of about $2.5k. The real exec I am talking about are e.g. those MNCs tower head , their corporate title are executives, functional title could be something else. Those are easily earning above $10k.
