If I can still pump 1 litre of petrol for $1, buy a pack of marlboro at $5, buy a 3rm
HDB for $100k, buy a new 3 bedrm condo for $5xxk then I will be convinced $3k a month is enough.
Anyway these are the prices in 1990, where a
MOE teacher with a honours degree is already earning a starting pay of $3k per month.
