It is a simple case of high cost of living in sg.
If you see your married friends struggling to pay the bills
every month, you will not be motivated to get married.
As in getting a kid, both the guy and ladies are too selfish to
give up their time, their freedom and their career.
Blaming the expectations of the guy or ladies is useless as they
will alway set their standards very high.
For the guys, they can source for foreign wife when they are
old.
For the ladies, they will most probably be single.
What you say has a point, The high cost of living in Singapore
is chasing all the talents in Singapore away and the perks that
foreigners get is BETTER than us, Singaporeans.
Its not they are too selfish but they can't even survive.
In Singapore, you earn what, you pay what. You can go bankrupt
liao if like that.
