Actually foreign scum are the ones who take the opportunities given to them for granted. Yet the sinkie gvt continues to bend over with their pants pulled down and hands wrapped around their ankles.

At least foreigners tend to be more grateful for the opportunity to better their lives. Whereas these locals on these forums exhibit such begrudging attitudes and petty-mindedness.

As someone saving up for a 4-5m home but with only ~0.5m of savings but high annual income, it's hard to picture what kind of financial situation should one be in before taking the plunge. This is a perfectly legitimate question by any stretch. And no, I have not yet met with a financial planner.

Bro the line items to spend on and down payment required can be easily searched online. You can just work out most of yourself via an excel and get a picture that is 90% accurate. You expect a serious answer here?
Thats why ppl say u clearly don’t demonstrate the critical thinking of higher earning individuals

Very soon you will be living in a distinctly foreign land listening to foreign languages wondering what has gone wrong.

Many of your questions can be answered with some simple research

I make about 400k per year and I'm 32 years old.
I used to have a car for about 2 years but find it a hassle to maintain and with the growing oil prices, I decided to scrap the car. I feel a lot more free ever since getting rid of my car.
I work from home pretty much since covid.
I stay with my parents in a hdb and don't really have a desire to own a house. And yes, I don't have a house.
Am I too frugal with my money? I spend about 100k a year and save about 300k a year. I mainly spend on food and maybe buy some gadgets here and there.
The reason I'm asking is because I know of people who earn lesser than I do, but they will buy a private property, buy branded bags and expensive cars. In which I have no desire of. My only desire is to work. I feel a little strange because I hardly meet folks earning at my range or more being so frugal.

If you are not lying, then you should look into what you are spending on.
If you invest most of your salary into broadly diversified index funds, you should be able to retire in just a few years even if you have nothing at all right now.
A portfolio that gives 4% average dividends annually or appreciates at 10% (and you drawing out 4% annually) should last you forever if you put your money to work.
If you are earning 400k per year and all you do is put in the bank then you are not very financially savvy, considering Singapore's inflation rate is already at about 2%.
Not buying a house is not bad idea. You are freeing up cash to make other more profitable investments than buying a place that you will stay in (so can't rent out to make money), have to maintain and cannot be sold unless you plan to stay elsewhere. However, if you are putting off buying a house just to feel good about the amount of cash lying around in the bank doing nothing then that's not a good idea.
