MAN EARNS $3K SUPPORT HOUSING LOAN & PARENTS SAYS: “I’M LIVING COMFORTABLY”

People who always complain about no money, like seriously, what are u spending on??

I’m in my late 30s, gross pay only $3k+, have house loan for resale 4room HDB, have 2 70+yo parents, have girlfriend, and I’m living comfortably.

Yet people earning more than me just keeps on complaining and complaining. Do u need a car? Do u splurge on expensive yet unnecessary stuff? Do u eat out very often at fancy places? Do u grab when u can take bus? Is your partner a parasite that leeches onto u? Look internally first, before complaining about external factors.

I’m looking at u, people who say u need $8k a month to live comfortably

Here are what netizens think:

• Since, u r still single (assume, since u have written as gf n not wife)..
  1. Pregnancy doc / hospital bills
  2. Daycare Fr 2 months old kid
  3. If no daycare then maid
  4. Kindergarten fees
  5. Primary school tuition fees (every subj atleast $100
  6. Enrichment classes fees
  7. Car loan EMI
  8. Home loan EMI
  9. Family vacation
  10. Family eat outs
  11. Meds for ur kids n ur elderly parents
  Start to save whatever u can fr now.. you’ll need it soon

• Maybe those people have 2 kids and parents with medical conditions to take care of? Lol seriously, you sound like someone who hasn’t experienced anything in life. Ignorant. Some people have more burdens and dependents. Just because you don’t have any doesn’t mean that others don’t, different people live with different circumstances in life.

• late 30s and still only have gf. Wait till you are married and have kids, lets see how you deal with $3k+

• Don’t impose your cheap lifestyle on others. Why do you assume people take grab instead of bus? That’s not the case. Do you have kids? For those who have, they sometimes want the best for them. Fees aren’t cheap. $1k per kid is common, How about childcare? $700-1000 a month per kid. Maid levy? Every month give LHL $300. Maid salary $600-700. Food etc all becomes expensive. When you are in your 30s, how many donkey years ago was it? As we grow older, life should be better. But university grads today in SG are living it worse than many of their parents.
