Whilst we can buy a condo directly, we wanted to go through the normal progression of HDB upgrading to Private later. Also understand that we can keep our HDB flat if we buy it first before private property (but not the other way around)
I have been working for about 5 years, whilst she has worked around 3+. Rationale is that she can go back into the industry after our HDB purchase is successful and pay should not be too different from what she used to draw (since her base is low anyway)
Anyone who have gone down this route we advice to spare?

and there you go. couple > 100k a year have to cut down on earning. so low income is 100k? it's true, 250k is the new 48k. for ********ters.
