Redditer : French-Chinese family considering move to SG: Is 12k SGD/month enough for a comfortable life with 2 kids?

[uniboi]

I earn more than $12k and I don’t even think it’s comfortable.

Foreigner needs to rent and that’s the #1 heavy expense. And sending the kids to international schools? lol

Just rent and international school fees will tear through their $12k easily.

Its the foreigner’s own problem. He want he take it this lowball salary without full expat package of covering rent for condo, international school fees for his kids and other expenses all covered by his company besides his 12ak basic salary for future foreigners and leave higher paying jobs and better benefits to Sinkies.

Can we reject them coming here taking the post? We got so many local grads that is bilingual from our top uni and they cannot get the job which
pays $12k/month? What went wrong for job matching and the MOM allowing so many in? What is wrong with the labour market here?

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

They rather hire some foreigner (and probably not a very good one, if they can get for $12k without expat package).

the apartment rental alone is a killer. so, no way for $12k income
