A bit difficult.

 

[Linguist]

A bit difficult.

For living, probably no...
For surviving (alone), yes...[/QUOTE]

 

[Keng see]

If you’re single, yes. But that’s provided that you stay with parents, and do not demand much luxury. Just a simple life, with occasional indulgence

Other than that, no way

 

[LPPLKPKB]

Nope


10kkj

 

[itedino]

Be boss la. One month easily 30k. I regret not start early.

Then many vendors kept asking u out for lunch and dinner and treat u so to gain your support.

So little cannot

I'm a peasant holding a low SES job,taking home 3k nia though still can save few hundreds
If my company is not providing meals, not only I do not have enough to eat 2 meals but also have problem surviving so taking home $4k means can save $1k extra ,of course that means I'd be happier than now though it takes me another 5-7 years to get $5k

 

[Jeremy1]

For Single without commitment, it should be a comfortable salary.

If you have kids, it's not enough.

 

[Spike]

Why not? I'm happy with $5K monthly. Just cannot buy a car.

 

[orwell76]

Decent bah....

Bro I feel for you.
So hard to even earn $5k a month?
That's like only $250 a day if count 20 days a month.
Really tough for you bro.
You have a tough life.

You mean 5k per Pax or 5k per household? Per Pax I feel okay la, if buy bro don’t need to pay much for housing. 10k together very comfortable even with kids

Back in my previous job, I started off earning $3k.

It took me about a decade to hit $5k, and that was my last drawn salary in 2018.

At the time, $5k felt more than enough. You could get a decent cai png with meat for just $2.50, and even go for MRT $1 chicken rice. Even when I had to take an emergency Grab ride from CCK to Yishun during peak hours, it never went beyond $16.

Fast forward to today, and honestly, $5k just doesn’t stretch as far anymore. It’s been seven years since I retired, and my wife’s salary still hasn’t even hit $5k. Luckily, I have passive income to supplement our expenses.

$5k now is probably enough if you are single, though. Without too many commitments, you can live comfortably but not luxuriously.

Defo not enough for kids and cars.

Yes. $5k is not enough.
Even in Canada also not enough.
My two older adult children are earning about $4-6k per month after taxes. They cannot afford to move out on their own. Will need dual income.
I still provide for my family.
