The frustration many Singaporeans faced includes foreigners snatching jobs, failing transport, high cost of housing. Ok i dun OT further.

The high inflation we saw in the last coming to 2yrs is global, not just Singapore. Yes, the high inflation is very painful for those struggling to make ends meet, and quite painful for the average. For me, am... well still able to breathe, but starting to feel a bit of the tide.

In my opinion, cost of everything including food is manageable and infact quite good in Singapore with the exception of properties and cars which skyrockets due to competition because of the lack of space.

If one is really on budget. These are the recommendations. $2.50 white chicken rice. $2 nasi lemak. $2 vegetarian food. $2 mee rebus, mee soto. For white collar workers enough? Maybe can slim down to good shape.

They earn in city area but eat near "kampong" area. So basically they are earning more to spend there that's why so many can afford terrace there but the houses there no resale value therefore there are many ghost town cluster terrance neighbourhood.
