Yes or No

Why?

Too costly standard of living?

I am proud because we have the best airport Laughing

Coquitlam SG

Anyway, many of us, including myself have sunk roots elsewhere, Sillypore was good while it lasted.....its all downhill from here man...Adios

Kohi SG

I wouldn't say that i'm proud to be part of Singapore but having lived in the US & various countries, i only like the low cost of living & low crime rate.

Thats about it.

And honestly whats there to be proud about? Airport? Sure its nice but i've been flying out in and out so much its become nothing but a glorified bus interchange in my eyes.

And the fact that we have a half lion half fish mascot isn't exactly helping.

noahnoah SG

Wit so many stompers

around exposing all the ugly s/poreans

CAn imagine wat will others think of singaporeans Laughing

Xephone_xenon SG

Low living cost in singapore?

Coquitlam SG

Yeah man, low cost of living????...income tax and GST may be low relative to other countries but the gahmen here taxes you in other places, a little here and a little there adds up to alot.

Besides, the wages here are low compared to other countries and after visiting so many places and now settling down in north america....I'd say...I many be born in Sillypore but I sure as hell do not want to die in Sillypore....

No more NS no more reservist no more claustrophobic Sillypore....Yippee!!!

I'm comparing against US which i stayed the longest

1st Factor

Exchange rate which is SGD$1.5++ = USD$1

2nd Factor

Houses maybe cheaper but you can't own one if you are a foreigner without a green card. so Renting is the only option

in LA rent is usually USD$1.2K a month in a suburb area

in NY rent is as high as USD$2K a month as most of NY is a CBD area

3rd Factor

Food is relatively more expensive. You can eat fast food (cheapest) everyday.
But would you? Plus Variety is almost non exsistant.

4th Factor

Petrol cost 50% up to 120% more to what we pay locally. Cars maybe cheap but if you are there long term. Petrol really eats your money plus there is alot of driving to do as most places there are pretty far apart.

i could go on and on

I only like living in Singapore as we're still pretty affordable for a country thats no longer on the 3rd world list.

Coquitlam SG

Sillypore may be cheaper but to live here long term is suicidal...

Things may be expensive in the States, but then again....if you live not in the cities, then it get slightly cheaper......live in the towns....

US will be a great place for people who are more country boys, who like the surroundings, mountains.....lakes etc.....I therefore urge anyone to leave Sillypore if they like the country living...

Ito_^ SG

not bad la.

at least not part of rwanda.

noahnoah SG

I also think og migrating to aust

enjoy those hills , farm stay

but bo $$$$$$$

Crying or Very sad

Ignatiaus SG

Well most of us have to weigh

Standard of Living vs Cost of Living

Even though govt got alot of tax and BS

You have to admit standard of living here is pretty good when you compare to our neighbours. We may not be as affordable as them but seeing our standard of living i'd say its pretty good.

Yeah its true living in the rural country in the US is far cheaper. But ultimately if you are non-white, its kinda hard to socialize. Its not that they are racist (actually got quite a number who are) but they tend to only stick to their own.

Staying anywhere has it pros and cons.

bmx_rider SG

singapore is a great country…alot of things is near to us..the only thing is…land is scarce..and population increasing..
