thanks, i am a nobody so no point fabricating anything... wont make the world any better or worst... LOL

she makes lesser annual coz her co does 12 months flat with minimal bonus but since she opt to work lesser hrs per week, 36 hrs instead so she gets a pro-rata amount.

Hmm, that works out to be ard $150k to $200k combined, annually? Sounds like the average middle-class family income being portrayed in the press recently.

Gosh, a few years back, I would think $10k/mth combined income would be very above average ... looks like the bar moved up much faster.

I earn 45K pa

Erm, does your wife work in an American MNC? The "12 months flat with minimal bonus" sounded so characteristic.

is that so. i think its advertized that the median household income in singapore is a little more that 5k a month,
which makes it 60k per annum. are u sure 150k per annum shd classify as average ??

at least, its above average , infact it shd be reasonably good.
