How to survive with a pay of $1000?
-
As above in singapore. Take home after CPF is $800.
Anyone u know did that? How did they do it de? -
Depends on your situation ! With $1000, are you still staying in with your folks ?
I don't see why is that very hard cos i used to survive on my NS pay which was half of that ! -
Sure or not? That's horrible ..
Even with a factory job one should be able to get 1.5k a month.
Or as a dip grad, get at least 1.2k a month.
Depending on whether you're staying with your parents... Eat at home everyday! Don't eat out! Too exp le. Bring food to work if possible.
But we've heard of worse cases... hmm. Rambling.~ -
man...only 1k a month...just get a dirty pot and beg for money lor.....

You can definitely survive with SGD1K a month in Singapore, especially if you are living with your parents.
But if you are looking to buy a small car or a small HDB flat for yourself, then you will probably need to live and save frugally for many many years before you can afford them.

No special assistance fom parents. Living on his own. Can survive?

ok lets break down costs to earn $1000 per month ...
Lets average transport to and fro to approx $1.5 per trip so dats $3
Lunch $3 mebbe a drink $1.1 so thats $4.1
so say 20day month excluding sat/sun days dats $7.1 * 20 = 142 clams
dats for weekdays, if want to enjoy frugal weekends
like go for a sat movie $8 bucks * 4 sats = 32 clams
lunch say 10 bucks at a fast food restaurant = 40 clams (4 sats)
den mebbe limit to 2 beers or 2 house pour if go pubbing dats $14 * 8 = 112 clams.
so the damage is
$142 for work
+$184 for sat enjoyment
= $ 326 total damages
minus from net salary $800 = $474
$474 excluding pay handphone & internet & cigarette bills, pay parents etc ...
$1000 barely enuf to survive ... and enjoy a bit

No car, small house, should be able to live frugally. But that also means no gal =X

Living on your own --> renting a room to sleep for say SGD200 / mth.Originally posted by SnowFlag:No special assistance fom parents. Living on his own. Can survive?
Still possible but you will essentially be living month to month with little or no savings ...
