Why not you list some of the major expenses you are concerned with? List them in the country you're in now and we can give the corresponding cost in SG currently.

Other than those listed, I don't really have any other major expenses that I'm concerned with since I'm quite frugal.
But I saw someone commenting recently that they can't survive in SG with a combined income of $10k despite having a modest lifestyle. Also, the reported income in this forum is really high and that led me to think that at least $150k PA is needed to survive in SG.
Anecdotally, I'm always astounded by the speed at which prices increase when I'm back in SG for visit. Before I left, a plate of chicken rice is $2.5 and kopi is $0.8. Last year, at least $3 and shrink in size and kopi is at least $1, also shrink in size.
