Yes, admittedly it is painful to see this amount going out and not spent on some purchases or holidays. Since we cannot minimise the income tax we pay, short of earning less or contributing significantly to charity, we invest for passive income. As of last year, our passive income was sufficient to cover our annual expenses including the $40k income tax!
We are now practically saving our full salary each year.

Come on this is salary forum. By default, Everybody will claim 100million dollars sgd passive income, have two bungalows fully paid up, three dogs, four maids, five roll royces, six kids all graduated from the best us universities, and perhaps one kid is a Nobel prize winner
