Need inputs. I have got a job in singapore

[Brinda]

Hey varun,

Congratulations for your new job at singapore.
I think you should go for rented home at Hougang Avenue.
You will get good apartments out here. My brother too stays here
with his friends.

Singapore is a great place to live. Initially if your are planning to move
alone then you can live as Paying guest & can save alomst half of your
salary. Later on if your wife moves in then she needs to work.
your pay will be sufficient to support you both but u will have NIL savings.
Moral of the story is if you both want to stay in singapore then both of you
need to work. For initial months its okie till your wife finds one.

Okie, will you let me know the consultant name & address through
whom you got the job?Would appreciate your reply.

All the best for your new life at Singapore !!!

Well, excellent snippet, but hougang has a few avenues, which one are you referring to ?? Upto Hougang Avenue 14 ..

As for the saving part - yeah, I agree with you .. if you live a frugal live, the pay is more than enough. Note that many singaporeans earn much much lesser than expats, and are able to save and buy properties, due to the fact that they dont party every weekend, take overseas travel every month, and if they can save a few cents, will take the bus, instead of the train, god-forbid those taking the taxi.

Cheers

Oh... Cab-aholism - very expensive habit...
