If a Teacher cannot make it, how can a barmaid like me make it, yo, kindly ask Melissa if she is interest in doing partime nite job or not??

Wha lau, taxi driver, rubbish collector, general worker and casual workers are not making noise, a damn teacher make so much noises?? no money drive car for what??

Money no enough.

No matter how much they earn, money will not be enough.

You think they were caught by surprise by the $500,000 four-room flat and therefore find themselves with a monetary crisis.

Live within your means, and save up.

Not live above your capability, find yourself short, and blame the government for it.

BTW, the one who sold the flat must be very happy. Maybe even apply for new 5-room flat at $350,000 form the HDB in newer estates.

Wow combined income of 5,000 and they can buy a car and buy a flat worth half a million.

I say good luck to them

I don't think they did their math like she said

Or maybe they calculated wrongly

Or maybe TS is just seeking attention out of nobody?

Teacher and engineer can make a living here??? something must be very wrong??

kilfer SG

The article is from TR. So there's an element of sensationalizing.

I think if they are really a teacher and an engineer there is seriously something very wrong with their pay.

Either that or she is just not telling the truth about their occupations

While they are probably still new to their jobs (and hence have a relatively low combined income), I have to say that their 'predicament' is really more of a case of poor financial planning.

If it is true that their combined income is below $5k, then DON'T BUY A CAR!!!

And if that 500k house is their 'starter' home, then they're nutcases. Of course they would land into financial problems! A 3-room or 4-room flat in a decent estate like Pasir Ris or Simei would cost significantly less than that and would have been a far better choice for a new family that is just starting out.

I'm getting married early next year, and even I am not stupid enough to make these financial screwups! I know enough to go easy when searching for my first home, and to not buy a car until my finances get better.

She can go elsewhere to seek sympathy.... she ain't getting any from me.
