who in singapore is not money minded? even men-of-the-cloth are
very much interested in money nowadays. monks, priests, pastors are
all alike.
today, there are monks like mingyi who owns overseas properties,
bmw etc. Pastors who own multi-million properties.
would your mum have married your dad if he's unable to earn
enough to support her needs? would you?
even if you (woman) are capable, and make alot, will you be
willing to marry a man who makes far less than you? e.g. woman with
10k income, vs man with 3k income?
chances are, the woman will look for men who earn more than
her.

and nowadays, you get married too early, you won't have enough
money to buy a house.
if you marry late, you will be making too much money to buy a
hdb, and thus have to save up even longer for a private
property.
let say you are a young couple in your 20s, would the woman want
to move into the guy's house? and stay with the guy's family,
parents, siblings and grandparents?
even if you are willing, the hdb unit will be too small to house
so many people, and yet at the same time to provide privacy for
*ahem*.
so its no wonder that people do not want to get married.
Right said ! Marry early, study and job prospect bad. Marry late,
both too old to bear children. I read Strait Times oso scared to
see the stat, 35% of men in Sg r single ! scary prospect. Must be
because of pressure of capitalistic society bottled up in small
island and concrete jungle, sperm want to come out oso canot, how
to produce children?
Money, money, money (ABBA song) is everything. Take transport -
pay, eat food - pay, watch movie - pay, buy clothes - pay, buy
grocery - pay, tax - pay, everything is pay. Even after we die, our
estate oso still paying. For sure, money is important factor woman
consider their spouse la. Without money, all starve to death.
