We survive by eating cheaply or at restaurants when on deals and buying things on offer.
My parents were extremely generous too (gave a few hundred grand ang pow when married). After buying home and stuff we find surviving tough with our income since we try to save and invest some of it too.
So honestly speaking, from my experience anyways, $7k+7k (assuming your wife too) not numerically possible to survive independently, especially with a child.

Just to clarify, when we bought our EC some years ago, it was cheaper and costs less than some BTOs today. So the comparison to OPs situation is still valid IMHO.

- have a kid and
- support parents through monthly allowance
and still have some remaining to save & invest.
Finding it difficult. Hoping some peer can shed some light on how they manage their finance.

Why is it difficult?
They did it with loan. All sorts of loan car loan, hdb loan, credit card loans,personal loan etc.
Nothing difficult about taking multiple loans

It is very tough on 7k single income, almost impossible I would say. Back when I made that amount on single income, even with 4-5 months bonus and not giving parents allowance, no car, cheap HDB, we barely saved anything.
I have no car, cheap flat, no branded goods, several kids, still spend about 10-12k a month.
Mostly on food and groceries, 1.5k parent allowance, helper etc.
Quality food is expensive and one meal out with the family may cost 150-200. We also eat steak, seafood, sashimi very often at home.
Now close to 25k pm can finally start saving.
