They rent a nice condo in KL for RM2k pm and spends RM5k pm for food, car, utilities, holidays, etc and can save the rest. No need to think too much. |
This is a stupid reply from someone...
Having $5k every month, you cannot retire here in Sg?
Have you been to KL before? Rent a nice condo in KL for RM2k pm? You probably have not step out of Sg before... RM2k will only get you an average condo same size as a 3-room flat outside of KL. Unless you are talking about a small town with no fast food outlets in Malaysia, which for Singaporeans who are so worried of food hygiene, clean water, safety, walking distance to Starbucks, hypermarket, do you think is possible for you to stay there? Food wise, you can get $2.5 noodle at a decent foodcourt, the same place in KL cost you RM6.. which one is cheaper? Singapore is cheap enough, for a decent life style.. You can move to Thailand.. but to live with same lifestyle in Sg, it will cost you more.. wake up folks.. dont just sit in front of your pc and giving advise if you yourself are not exposed enough.. blind lead blind.. heard of it?
