Insurance $400
Childcare $500
Mortgage $1000 (mine share)
So about S$5k expenses.
Nowadays maid salary have gone up to $750, utilities $200, phone $100 and food and petrol increased by a lot too. Only earning S$9300 now, used to hit S$15k before but long story, can only earn $9k now. There are extra expenses every month due to kids, home reno, medical bills etc so finding myself in deficit now.

Childcare expenses are a lot. One boy homeschooling needs $4k a year, another one needs braces and invisalign costs $8500 and they want handphones and computers, speng a bomb on multiple devices through the years. And we used to travel yearly another $4-15 k a year depending on where we go.
Sorry, last 3 posts all from me.
I can understand that $7k for a family in Sg is quite tough now if u have car, maid and kids and travel.
