Totally agree. In many other countries, both 3rd & 1st world, parenthood is a joy, kids r cute etc. But Sgp is a tragedy where PARENTHOOD becomes (for many, not all) a COMPETITVE, COSTLY, UNAFFORDABLE 25year TORTURE as a joyless endeavour, as evidenced in relentless TFR 0.97 decline past20yrs, seems impossible to reverse Sgp 0.97 (populatn will HALVE out in 1-2gens without immigration). Insanely HIGH property costs, living costs, increasing Gst simply means LESS $$ for babies. Ridiculous PSLE age11-12 absolutely KILLS joys of parenthood in intense academic RAT-RACE of kids. VERY FEW countries have national high-stakes exams age11-12. Those unaware of PSLE rigour- plse go solve last few pages of PSLE Math under few minutes per Q in exams conditions. Obviously Sgp is NO longer conducive for procreation/raising kids- somethings wrong with Sgp's policies & massive imports influx of immigrants is NOT ideal solution.

I believe was already ruined by those boomers and gen x people?Yes this generation well ruin things for the next
That's his choice in life and why do you feel the need to judge him?Today my cousin brought his wife to come my house and bai nian... he told me that his BTO let him earn chao chao $300K... and he intends to go for a second BTO again after his windfall... I said wah now next generation jialat... but he just tell me... not my problem because they dont have kids... they only care about milking more and more money and go enjoy during older age...
I think he is correct....
You didn't read the last sentence? I support himThat's his choice in life and why do you feel the need to judge him?
Sounds like you are jealous of him. Do you wish that EDMWers give you a huge pat on your back for considering the future generation of sinkies?
If you feel so strongly about the future generation, then take a goooood look at how the current crop of pappy ministers is screwing up sinkie's future generation.
You are answering your own question please read through the threads againBS lor..30k still can apply HDB meh..lol
What if the kids also bo chup? Also outsource lor lolNext time old already, nobody take care of them how? Outsource to the state again?
Don't worry once they become millionaire they will move to Australia... There got no women charterFuture generations can also laugh at your cousin if he gets pawned by WC.
Karma can bite at you.
tbh... i dont understand why ppl think being a DINK is like a flex or something to hao lian... among the DINK frens.. acquantinance.. influencers i knw... all like nt v financially successful... stay BTO or stay in those shoe box 1br condo kind...
they dont want kids becoz they dont earn enough... bt they want to enjoy life yolo so all their salary is for themselfs... you talk abt kids they say cant afford...![]()

financial constraint say until lifestyle choice...
Quite a few of my friends in their early 30s oso dio very fast within 1-3 months.. One was even a smoker and he thought he will take longer cos his health wasn't good lolHow come you tried both times so fast have baby but many times people tried for 10+ years to no results? Share with us your secret to conceive?
I have a friend whom had four children and only two of them actively took cared of them in their elderly years, they have a private landed bungalow, a private 5-bedroom condominium apartment and a 5-room HDB flat. Upon my friend’s death the last will and testament was to transfer the ownership of the private landed bungalow, a private 5-bedroom condominium apartment and a 5-room HDB flat to the eldest child whom married early but has no children and is always missing only see once a year. Idkwhy?
Must be heng enough lor. Maybe first job tio one time bto in central area.. Then after mop, start trying luck again and heng heng tio another one in central when combined celery not yet hit 14k. Maybe that's suay also cos after 8-10 years combined celery still below 14k lolwah csb la.
how can he suka suka buy BTO and earn more than $300K? plus BTO queue number not so easy to get..
those who earn more usually cannot even BTO liao due to their combined salaries > BTO wage ceiling.
DINKs are very poor people with ultra low income $2000 or $3000 and can’t afford to have children, can only survive with both husband and wife go to work daily for a living to get by. If they strike a $10 million dollarsThe purpose of living things is to have offsprings and spread their seeds. You all wanna be DINKs is your own problem. Ask yourself why Kings and rich people have so many kids. And you DINKs think you are so smart winning the system. LOL
Mid and late 30s so fast! Must be the wife/mother is young 25 to 29 years old?Quite a few of my friends in their early 30s oso dio very fast within 1-3 months.. One was even a smoker and he thought he will take longer cos his health wasn't good lol
I had mine mid n late 30s also tot will take a year. Not sure why so fast also. Maybe i didnt have fertility issues and ah lao exercise weekly also, generally healthy lo.

agree, worse DINK=why childless 2pax nid bigger/newer 2nd BTO? Must ban childless for SECOND Bto & reserve it for 4-6pax families (2-3kids/teens+ maid/grandparents) who truly need more space.Thats why i mentioned many times. Sinkies shld only have 1 bite for BTO! Not twice.
