Lying PAP say 2 retirees spend only $1K on Food, Meds, Utilities, Housing, & Drs

[Papsmearer]

Every month!! Believe it or not? Where is this fantasy land? Can't be singapore

A typical retired household here draws a monthly income of $1,735, half of which comes from investments and contributions from family members or friends.

A retiree household living in a three-room flat spends an average of $1,000 every month, of which a third goes to food and another third to housing, utilities and health expenses.

These snapshots of the average retiree's income and spending patterns have been captured for the first time in the latest Household Expenditure Survey, which polled more than 11,000 households.

The number of retiree households, defined as those comprising solely non-working people aged 60 years and over, has more than doubled in the last 13 years to 77,481. About 40,000 of them live in three- or four-room flats.

300 dollar per month not enough for food? You want 3 meals in a hawker center, food court or a restaurant? No job still cannot be thrifty. Tsk tsk.

 

[mojito]

Wait a minute, retired household "income" includes "contributions from family members or friends?" Is this a joke?

Recently, I travelled to Singapore, and I do not believe that 2 individuals can live on $300 for food per month.
Even if the 2 individuals buy the items and cook their meals at home, $300 is insufficient for 30 days of nutritiously balanced healthy meals.
Perhaps, those who conducted the survey may wish to indicate how much they spend on food and meals per month.
