Our Monthly Expenses
Updated on 13 Sep 2016.
My basic haven't factor in bonus because the calculations here didn't factor in our insurance and my income tax, so since they are paid yearly, when I get my bonus I will use it to pay, just nice right ;)

Unless you can find work for your partner after marriage, as for me, I plan to just stay with parents... thick-skin a bit haha.
Do you know of a better way to bring her in ? We both want to settle & start a family in sg.
Thanks in advance!
Marry a Thai lady is safe. But never marry a Pinay lady. They will throw you away if they have a chance to go with an angmoh.
I plan to marry a Thai Girl but I don't want her to work. Do you think my current salary is sufficient for two of us. Currently, I am taking part time degree and will be graduating in two years time. There will be a jump from my current salary
But once you find a good Thai girl, they are very loyal and helpful, many local men are living happily with their Thai wives.
Thanks!
I have updated!
Don't worry, I believe you are still young, as you get older income should increase, provided you stay on the job and get yearly increment/promotion.
As for my $1000 credit card spending, it's mostly for household expenses such as groceries, the rest are non-necessities such as dining out, buying stuff for wife and baby.
When I married my wife, I was earning $2200, after CPF is around $1750+, that was in 2010. So as time goes by, I got increment, got promotion so today my income is better.
may i know which plan and internet service provider are you using?
I'm using Starhub MaxInfinity 300Mbps @ $29.85 per month.
Don't you provide money to your parents and what is the cost of insurance you are paying?
Now I don't live with them so never give any allowance, only during CNY then give big ang pao. Anyway my insurance info is here: http://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.sg/p/family-insurance.html
