I here a lot about how one can change lifestyles, and survive in
these austere times. But look at how much some of my friends have
changed, but still in the red or pretty close to the red:
>> gave up driving and sold car
>> eat hawker food or cook and eat at home
>> no movies, only watched rented ones or the TV
>> stopped using the aircon at night
>> no holdiays abroad, just the occasional trip to Bedok
Jetty or East Coast
>> surrendere all credit cards and facilities
So tell me, what life in Singapore does one have left after
trimming off all the above? If life is all about toiling and paying
bills and taxes and nothing else, then what kind of life do we
have? If cutting down on all the above and still bills takes up 3/4
of one's monthly income, then it surely indicates that living costs
are way way too high.
It's very much the life of a machine.
