After giving parents left 2k

thrifty also at least $500 for all expenses include food, transport, bills etc

every month save $1.5k, 1 year $18k

how to buy house? The inflation will kill you first at this rate

He only has $2.4k left after CPF. Then deduct $1k for his parents means he is left with $1.4k for daily expenditure, utilities, and transport. Is he going to eat instant noodles only daily? He will have instant regret once he gets hit with an array of chronic illnesses a few years down the road.

Young ok. When older, need alot more to cover expenses. Got kids, no way to just chill
yup. no mortgage, no rent, no wife, no kids, no luxury holidays, no car is ok. Maybe only child so may inherit the house, never need to get sucked into the wheel. but add a wife, or dependents, you're ded.
