The above mentioned person should adopt the doctrines of our
beloved P4P lackeys here.
1) eat cheaper rice without veggies or meat.
2) don't have handphone, tv, washing machine, computer
3) move his family of 6 into a 2 room HDB
4) take a shower every 2 days
5) walk to work and school
6) bring your plain rice to work and school
7) buy used clothes from your friendly neighbourhood karung
guni
8) if want to save further, you can take baths along the kallang
river
Follow their methods, $5,000 definitely more than
sufficient.
I only heard the garbmen talking about eating no frill rice and
bread, you can expand this into 8 ways of saving money, who is
the P4P lackeys?
