If by $6000 u mean ur combined family income ?? If it's yes then i would say it would be enough to survive out here. u won't be saving a lot. When u are couple u would need at least a master bedroom for living in my opinion and a cheap (lower end
HDB) one would cost u around $800 per month. Food wise on average be prepared to pay $ 3.50 per meal (2 veggies , 1 meat item at a hawker stall). If u plan on getting a car, an average Japanese car would cost around $1200 - $2000 to maintain per month. These are the survival mode figures. Since u said good life , it's a bit too broad to comment. In any case 6K might seem quite a bit when u first get here ,trust me it's really not. specially when u evolve into the way of living here. My advise to u is get ur spouse employed here as well (it's not easy now).
