the following expenses are approximates..
daily
bus fare/mrt go work = 2.00
morning breakfast = 2.50 (beehoon with 1 egg + 1 tofu, this used to be 1.70 just 2-3 years ago!)
drink = 0.80 (non-iced) or 1.30 (iced milo), (both optional)
lunch = 3.00 (2.50 , strictly 2 vege + 1 meat, if not careful, will hit 2.80, or 3.00)
drink = 0.80 or 1.30 (optional)
dinner = 3.00 (3.00 , if eat rice and vege all day very boring la)
drink = 0.80 or 1.30 (optional)
bus fare/mrt go home = 2.00
total = min.$12.50 , max.. the sky's the limit
x30 days = $360-$400
monthly bills
hdb loan = cpf account paying..
sp services (3-room hdb flat) = 100.00 (approximate, safe estimate)
handphone bill = 40 (maybe can be cheaper if use prepaid card?)
internet = 0 (surf net in office)
so it's $500-$600 for this kind of mundane life.
might as well get dead and buried faster?
forget about supporting our aged parents
forget about having kids
because..
1x makan for hubby and wife at chilli's at J-cube (2x main dish only, no drinks) = 45
1x movie for hubby and wife at gv = 22 (or if can qualify for credit card, buy $75 prepaid hsbc gv card, 7.50 per movie)
so for a "life",
we can see what kind of crazy prices that are out there..
