depending on life stage, if no responsibility prolly 3.5-4k.. if prep for bto/resale prolly 5k and above as we all know housing aint that much affordable as we still gotta take loan
Depending on stage of life, that is really the key, and if you stay with parents, any other liabilities, what you deemed is necessary to you personally, to qualify as comfortable. The latter determines how much you need, even for peers at the same stage of life.
CPF does take up quite abit if your basic salary not high. So people need to take this as consideration when asking for starting salary. Earn 5k mean your cash on hand is only 4K.
Most people can't wait for BTO because it takes years to build so also end up paying quite a lot for resale. What is your monthly payment for your house? What's the loan? Do you guys go holiday?
It depends on your lifestyle. If you want to go for a drink a couple of times a week, drive a car, eat restaurant often, go high class saloon .. 10k also not enough
@@yaz78 a family with a earning of 3k will not have a comfortable life. Basic expense for one is around 1-1.2k. For 3 would at least 3.5k Not to say one would can’t live with 3k a month but it is not comfortable at all
When you want to have resources for ur kids. Retire your parents. Be almost debt free. Can retire early and don have to depend on kids for allowance. Travel 4 times a year. Thn above 10k will become reasonable. Its just different perspectives
family of 4 - rent 6k, school for 2 kids 6k+, groceries 2k, entertainment and clothes 2k, savings 3k = 19k, do you have any more questions? expat life is harder than Singaporean life
@@LangLang5689 I believe if you choose to rent somewhere cheaper, you could probably save another $1-2K. This is your choice to stay somewhere that is more upmarket. There are cheaper condos to rent elsewhere. Also, am not too sure what kind of entertainment and clothes that cost $2k every month which I believe you can reduce this down to $1-1.5K. There you go, you probably have extra cashflow of few thousands more every month. Even if you don’t adjust your lifestyle, having $3K of savings every month in Singapore is quite decent. That is if you use a larger portion of this money to invest in ETFs.
they say comfortable though, so its quite vague cause different people needs different standards to feel comfortable. If you grew up in landed property, eating restaurants everyday and going europe once or twice a year, you are not going to be comfortable with $5k. But if someone who grew up in a 1 room flat, eating rice sauce everyday, then $5k would be insanely comfortable
If 4-5k isn't enough for you to live comfortably, the problem definitely lies with you. 100% you made bad financial decisions most of the time, either that or we have very different definitions of "comfortably".
@@lawlacast7107 probably the latter. The definition of "Comfortable" to me is being able to afford a steady spending and sudden expenditures during emergencies. Eg: Hospitalization This is all while owning a HDB flat and paying off the loans taken while still having a net positive on CPF OA savings contributed per month.
4.5k may sound little, yet imagine low income earner able to struggle through with total net income of 3k. So this mean u need to consider about ur so call lifestyle. Anyone earning mett salary of 4.5k, with some control in expenses, u can live very comfortable.
@johnsonchong5920 well comfort is very different for different people. If someone needs to fly business and stay in landed, easily need 15 to 20k Also you used the word struggle with 3k. Who wants to live a struggling life these days? Single still OK. With children prepare to see expenses skyrocket
Sensible independent singles who save money and invest will probably be... Bare min - 2000 Average - 3000~4000 Just nice - 4000~5000 Comfortable - 5000~7000 I Am Comfy and Can Pamper Parents - 7000~8000 Plus Babies - 8000~10,000
this is pretty accurate tbh. Idk why some are saying $3k. If they are living comfortably with 3k even if its take home income, it probably means either they have lower standards (travel once a year, rarely take grab or eat at restaurants etc) or they have little to no savings.
Upwards of 5K for single and 8K above for small family (father,mother 2 children) and 10K above for extended family (grandparents, parents and 2 children)
This kind of question is just for content. Every one lifestyle and people they need to afford are all different. Try: Parents of two, vs another parents of two. Student vs Student. Single office worker vs Single office worker. Then u only can see the more realistic range
Having no degree and only clerical/admin & customer service jobs experience, it has become too challenging to secure a proper job at 54. Some jobs are only paying $1800 onwards. Are Singapore employers being practical & realistic?
to live comfortably in Singapore, the salary needs to be more than $10K take home. Not gross. Comfortably includes saving. You don't spend every single cent.
Same in HK, if you are single and need to rent an apartment, then around HK$30k to HK$40k (which is about SG$6K to SG$8k) will be comfortable (MPF deduction is HK$1,200/ month or 5% of salary). Can go on yearly holiday but cannot buy luxury brands every month if you want to have some money to save up. If salary is above HK$40k, then you can have a bit of luxury including holiday and more savings.
depends if we want to take savings into account tbh, like mentioned, if want kids, house, wedding etc, cannot wait until need already then start saving. Generally when young low salary would be comfortable, but need to account for the future, so what they mention, 3k probs quite hard
If you’re single but the only child of aging parents and you handle all the insurances and bills - min. 4K to 5k take home pay (and that’s only if your whole family lives super frugally and with barely any savings)
if single with two parents, how much is good? I'm asking because im currently still an undergraduate and I'm really worried about the rising cost of living.
Depends on life stage. If you are just starting out like first job out of school, 3-4K is fine. When u are in your mid 20s, u should be hitting 5-6, and 7-8 in your late 20s. Above 30s, u need to be getting at least above 8. And that’s just comfortable for one person. If u in tend to get married but house have kids, u need to be above 10k (each). Now these figures are to be comfortable, meaning, house, car, kids, travels, and still have savings for self and retirement. I don’t recommend moving on with the life stages if you just have the bare min.
The first lady i wonder if she is an actress. She might be in Crimewatch before, playing a victim of a fake photography session. Not long ago, she was also at esplanade doing a performance
The answer are like 5k avg to spend comfortably if really factor in a healthy 15% to savings and invest 30% 9-11k Many will think of what they can spend with that amount.. without set aside invest and saving and then the reminder is disposable income.. ideally with balance left
If you are single, Dun use air con, dun have a car, eat at hawker centers not fancy restaurants, take bus and MRT, not taxis or ride hailing.. and take a holiday to a nearby JB or Bangkok.. I think $3k is enough.. put aside $200 a week for food and transport, buy a 2 room HDB as a single with your CPF..
depends on your social circle tbh, if your friends all overachievers then obviously they gonna aim high. Plus, minimum $10k by when? fresh grad then its very hard but if like 10-15 years time, maybe not that hard already.
Very privileged thoughts they have. $2k should be comfortable for being single, in fact it would even let you have chances to actually go for holidays once a year.
$2k enough if barely any savings. Maybe depends on how you are brought up, travelling once a year is definitely not very comfortable for me, it all depends on what you are used to. But yeah, its not surprising most singaporeans are pretty privileged
I think fundamentally, it's the wrong mindset to begin with. You can't think in terms of "depending on current life stage", because the future is going to come whether you like it or not; the same responsibilities are going to enter your life. So a comfortable salary should already account for the amount you want to set aside for savings and investments so that these money have the time horizon to grow and multiply by the time you need them for e.g. wedding, house.
Woah! I quit and left Sg coz the company didn’t pay me 10k even after 7yrs of association with them. Was getting 9k that time and well it was pretty much comfortable though not enough saving for future. Can’t imagine abt 3-4-5k
Single person with no dependents : 2.5K I can make do with about 2.3K but it will be really depressing, i.e. no eating outside, socializing, etc. I have survived for 3 years spending on average 25K to 28K per year.

These people look really juvenile. Once you get a little older, a combined income of $20+k would still be insufficient for a "comfortable" normal life on SG due to the extortionate price of a house. And not even with kids, no drinking, and eating mostly at coffeeshops. Wait until you have to pay for your small house and reno then you will know. Don't even have a cent to save for retirement. Sigh...
For singles need 6k? Come on la! If you want to factor in non essential extravagances, clubbing la shopping la restaurant la everywhere taxi/Grab la, then 10k also not enough. Lots of ppl living happily with 3k cash after CPF. Even eating out 3 times a day (hawker center) won't cost more than $50. More like $30. Still have 2k to play with. Flushed with disposable cash? Perhaps not. Comfortable? Sure. Been there done that.
Can survive, but you need to think about retirement. Which at this pay range, i think you probably have to keep working until the end of life which do you think you are able to do that?
3k (2.4k after Cpf)is enough for single. For a comfortable life or to save for future family and housing, 4-5k. For a family with kid or 2, both Husband and wife have to work combined income of 7-8k With own a car then need over 10k
