Did you guys read this?
http://www.sgforums.com/forums/3317/topics/391579I wonder how are they going to encourage people to have kids when they are paying off their asses for the bloody HDB flat
I think it’s a miracle these days that a combined income of around 6k – 7k can be used to pay for a car, flat and kids
It’s like so much frills need to be cut :x

You cannot even afford basic insurance

there are lots of families with under 2k household income having 4 or more kids. these are the ones who always apply for financial assistance from the gahmen or see their MPs trying to get help.

Did you read the fucked up report on the narrowing of the income gap?
It was just one tiny article which you need to use the magnifying glass to read
And it's not coz the lower income group is moving up but because the higher income group income is decreasing or not increasing!!!

S'pore income gap narrows
SINGAPORE'S income gap narrowed slightly last year for the second year in a row, as families in the higher income groups experienced a bigger drop in income than those in lower-earning households.
Government aid, including income supplements for low-wage workers, also helped to prop up households near the bottom of the income spectrum.
This showed in last year's Gini coefficient, which measures income inequality. It was 0.478 before government help was factored in, a drop from 0.481 in 2008.
When calculated based on income after governement benefits and taxes, it was 0.453, a slight dip from 0.454 the year before.
Singapore families all had lower monthly incomes last year due to higher unemployment and lower wages from the recession, according to an occasional paper on household income trends released on Friday by the Statistics Department.
The top 30 per cent of employed households saw a decline of 2.5 to 3.4 per cent in their nominal average household income per family member. In comparison, the bottom 30 per cent in terms of income saw a smaller decline of 0.6 to 1.8 per cent.
Across the board, the median monthly household income among all resident households declined by 1.9 per cent. From $4,950 in 2008, it went down to $4,850 last year. However this figure was still higher than in 2007 and the years before.

frills that can be put aside :
car - already save easily $1000 a month
air con - takes away easily $200 or more
hobbies - depends on how expensive your hobby is
expensive food - stick to (at most) $4-5 meals.

Wah.... he couldn't even be bothered to find out Matchbox 20 hits himself?
That reminds me of students who come up to me expecting them to spoonfeed them on how to do past-year questions without even attempting them themselves first.
