In Singapore your total household income is 100% proportional to your life satisfaction and quality of life. Why settle for HDB when condo can provide a boost to your happiness levels?

FM residents will tell you all you need is a FM mmed and you made it in life. Who needs a bungalow when you can live in a big landed polyclinic? True story.

My wife and I are young professional couple and make a combined income of approximately 700k per year, but wondering if a bungalow is realistic at this point. We have around 500k combined savings, and no other assets.
