In this forum, it is amazing to see to many Singaporean professionals earning big bucks. While our story is not as amazing, we are grateful and happy for what we have. Married couple with two teenage kids, we live in a new condo which we bought at $1m last year. As we like to be debt free we paid in full after we sold our previous property. We live a humble life, earning $150k pa only.

Our combined net worth is just $1.5m. We describe ourselves as a middle class couple in our late forties. We are neither rich nor are we poor. We are contented with what we have achieved so far in our blessed life. Someone mentioned 85% of Singaporeans live in public housing (HDB flats) and we are lucky enough to be among the top 15% of Singapore families who live in a private property. It has always been our Singapore dream to own and live in a condo and we have made it.
