I earned exactly the same when I was 35, 20 years ago. My colleagues and I used to joke that our pay was matched to our age. It was like that for a while - we earned $3.3k when we were 33, $3.4k at 34, and $3.5k at 35.
Luckily after 35, things got much better. But hey, that was 20 years ago. Now I heard new graduates are already commanding $3k - $4k as starting pay. Quote:

My wife is 45 and she makes $15k pm+nice bonus. I understand it feels bad for ego. |

You both earn so much. Are you staying in Sentosa Cove? |
I am 44, working as a mid level manager, getting only $105k pa. My wife, 41, also a manager, earns $114k pa. We share the monthly mortgage payment of our luxury condo. I pay for the car monthly loan, petrol, maintenance, road tax and all related car expenses, the kid's tuition, our other loan, insurance, etc. I only save $20k pa. My wife takes care of the groceries, kids' pocket money and her personal shopping. She saves $40k pa.
Even though I earn less, I spend more for the family. I will have less for retirement. My wife will have more for retirement. I think I may need to drive a taxi when I retire at 65. Do you guys have the same experience as me? Am I stupid? Please share. Thanks. |
If the wife earns more (say >20% more) than the husband, will the husband feel
Happy that the woman is capable and can share the burden of high cost of living in SG and they together can have a better quality of life e.g. live in condo instead of HDB? Or will the husband feel that his ego has been bruised? And resent the wife? Or it really depends on the personality of that particular man??? |

Its nothing wrong as both will be able to share the high burdens and demands from the daily expenses. |
