It is gratifying to see that MoneySmart, an established financial blog in Singapore, published an article about the cost of living in Singapore recently and it matches up with our video! In terms of the categories and the items mentioned. blog.moneysmart.sg/budgeting/cost-living-singapore/
This is the most detailed video I've seen and great energy you guys have. The research is seriously very nice and in detail. Looking forward for more such videos.
Thank you so much!! I surprised that the cost of living in Singapore is about 1.8 times more expensive than Tokyo in Japan! As a Japanese, weak Japanese YEN makes poor and poor... Three decades economic depression is catastrophic... I am struggling to live myself. I astonished that friends all over the world make much bloody efforts like to make their life better and grateful. I hope that we shall never take care cost of living in rest of our lives!!
It will certainly be useful if you guys can film a video of living expenses in various parts of Malaysia like JB, Melaka, KL, Batu Pahat, Muar, Ipoh, Alor Star, Ipoh etc.
@@corporatebreakoutcouple I watched both the Ipoh and Alor Setar videos, good information indeed. I do think the cost of accommodation is a very important factor when one decides to retire at a certain town. Good if you guys can also talk about the pros and cons living in that particular town. For example, like in the Alor Setar video, while the food and accommodation are cheaper than in Ipoh or Penang but the lack of Chinese food and entertainment might deter some of us who cannot live without Char Kway Teow or Wanton Noodles. Malaysia towns are full of gems for us to discover, cheers
@@Andrew-uh9xs we think at the end of the day, it does boil down to preferences of the individual. We believe that one is always partial to their hometown, especially the food! 😍
Yeah..the food price still about the same around 10 yrs ago. I love geylang food court. And those hawkers spoke good malay too..gerehh sehhh..rindu singapore..
I just wanted to express my gratitude for your incredible content and the value you bring to your viewers. As someone from Bangkok, Thailand who is planning to send my son to Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore next year, I have been searching for a reliable source of information on the cost of living for foreign students . When I stumbled upon your channel, I was immediately impressed by your expertise and attention to detail. Your videos have been immensely helpful, and I believe that a video on the cost of living for foreign students would be incredibly valuable to myself and many others in a similar situation. Thank you for considering my request, and for all that you do to help students and their families make informed decisions about education. I am eagerly looking forward to your next video.
Hi Attaporn, thank you for watching our videos! For accommodation at NTU, the hostel rates are available from the university. As for the rest of the cost of living for your son, you can take reference from this video. So this video is on Basic Needs. Stay tuned for Part 2 where we will be covering on Wants (restaurants, shopping, electronics etc).
Hi John & Fran, understand that you couple also do property investment for supporting yr retirement. Perhaps, you can elaborate on how to achieve it and what's yr property portfolio. Thanks 🙏
Hi Kah Siong. Thank you for reaching out with this excellent question. The principles of real estate investing is to build a positive cash flow from achieving a net positive income (net operating income) by leveraging good debt. With regards to our property portfolio, we started back in 2013. We will share more on our property journey either in a video or a course, as real estate investment is too complicated and complex to put into a word form.
I can find even cheaper food for around $2.80 for Mee sim and $3.50 for most of the food you are showing here. Your $4 is shocking to me even in a hawker center.
This video isn't about the cheapest food in Singapore. When one does a cost of living video, you have to take the average. Food at Bedok interchange is cheaper than food at Marine Parade hawker centre. Food at Maxwell is more expensive than food at Boon Lay. So $4 is the average price and we do go on the ground around Singapore to check the food prices. Why? Because people live across Singapore and they don't just eat where they live, right?
@@corporatebreakoutcouple Wow thank you for your response. Another thought - pricing information on items such as housing, medical and education seems very brief compared to food. Would be great to learn more about those items too.
The MM2H visa is most likely the one you will be applying for. There are certain requirements that you need to meet and you can go to imi.gov.my to check it out.
I am single and 51years old Ghanaian. I have made a lot of huge investment and want to relocate to Singapore so i can have quality medical care . Can i live comfortably on a 4000 dollars a month budget that will include everything?
If you assumed a monthly income of 5K - you won't be qualified for a 3 room HDB purchase directly from HDB. Also, you probably won't be getting a 3 room flat either - more like a 4 room or larger. Please provide a more realistic picture instead of trying to show a rosy picture. BTY, hawker foods are in general not very heathy in the long run - too oily and too much salt.
Thanks for your comment. According to MND (ministry of national development), based on a recent 29 Nov 2022 article from their newsroom, there is no income restriction for the purchase of a resale HDB flat on the open market. When it comes to the income ceiling of new flats (either BTO or EC), the income ceiling varies from SGD7000-14000 household income for BTO. EC will be household income SGD16000.

@corporatebreakoutcouple even real estate is cheap compared to the big cities in Germany for example. Especially considering the low income tax and the fact that there are basically no other social security charges.
Unsubscribed. Hate the DING sound as it is so jarring and the voices of the host are quite soft in relation to that DING sound. We get the illustration , why don’t just do a quick slide through instead of one by one introducing the food
We are sorry to see you go. We cater to a large international audience so when making our videos, we want to be all inclusive. We have taken your feedback into consideration. Have a great day!
@@corporatebreakoutcouple don't tell me they just come up with that almost the same name and spelling and it's just a coincidence. So you're telling me those businesses that file business name infringements like this are not smart?
