6.2k not enough for two?

Now that India has caught up, he wants to return. Both Singapore and India like opportunists like him - talented, savvy, intelligent, greedy, exploitative, never loyal, always on the lookout for new ways to make more money, never loyal, always feel taken advantage of but never the other way, never loyal, always comparing, always feel shortchanged, always feel the world owes him a living, never integrated, will never bat an eyelid quitting a country, never loyal. |

In the current economic climate, he should buy his flat, not rent. Then he would be able to pay mortgage with his CPF instead of all from cash.
If he had bought a 3 or 4 room flat, even with his wife not working, I think he will find his salary adequate to afford trips to Phuket, Bali etc. If he so wanted, he can also hire a maid at $300 + maid levy. So with better planning, I think he can live almost the same lifestyle as his friends back home. |
Starting with 5k in 2005 and after staying for 5 years, he should have bought a flat considering he is a PR now. I guess he did not and almost no one foresaw the kind of price rise in Singapore.
In the current situation, 6.2k is clearly not a long term solution. However, many people with similar profiles either saved money, bought a house or migrated to Australia. If he cant do any of three, yes, in that case, India is a better option. |

As a native Singaporean, I too want to hop on the India bandwagon! Even though I do not know Tamil, I am learning from my India Indian colleague now.
