my friend graduated from US. onlyl draw around 1k SGD as
well.
he said that no choice.. have to do work to earn money...
he can survive with around 800SGD / month.. (after CpF
deduction)...
he just doesn't change handphone once every few months..
take bus.... no movies.
his gf understands. and sometimes, they go to library reading books
instead of spending money in shopping malls. guess that it's a good
spirit.
he said that after a few more years, those newly graduate will have
harder time as uni grad is a must-have and everyone has one.
anyway, i'm a contractor as well. luckily, my contract will extend
to the end of next year although my big boss has not signed the
contract yet. But expected to sign in next few days. (keep my
fingers crossed!)
