No point buying over our means and have a hard time paying for it later.

Imagine losing one's job for 3months is like defaulting paying of "rental" to HDB. <br /><br />Hence, young Singaporeans DO need to worry about buying their first HDB Home in Singapore. They are treading on thin line which they can't just be happy merry with just $5500 and CPF to take care of the monthly payment. <br /><br />Looking at it, most young people monthly OA is near to zero after deduction from HDB. Need to stash away cold cash and invest remaining cash in stocks for dividends as passive income. <br /><br />Hence, by looking at the HDB cost, kids' education and living expenses, do not fancy how young people follow the latest trends or dine in high end restaurants which we see on FB. Normal daily living expenses is high already... let's not talk about small luxury wants. <br /><br />Live simple, live normal. $5000 in $5 market pouch is better than $5 in $5000 LV pouch. No one will bother if you have $$ to pay your bills except ourselves =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034117182829029270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3276688108456391559.post-12277002504713734492015-12-22T15:26:23.801+08:002015-12-22T15:26:23.801+08:00Hi Damien,

After reading this article I have a sense of how to control my finance and go for a flat that is well within my means and not to overstretch my finance. Thank you for your post! Cheers.
