Asking Singaporeans How Much Money They Make (and if they are happy with the amount!)

[@Kattyol1]

It shows that even if you’re making a decent salary, financial worries can still creep in. I think for a lot of people, it’s not just about how much they make, but how well they manage what they have. If you’re investing or planning ahead, it can make a huge difference

[@Andres_853]

Totally. I mean, let’s say you’re making good money now, but if it’s not working for you long-term, it’s not enough. I’ve been thinking about how to invest smarter and have a better idea of where I’m headed financially. It's a bit overwhelming though, with all the options out there

[@camela8445Mar]

You know, my cousin actually met with a Certified Financial Planner, Nora Jean Erickson, to get help with exactly that. She offers a free consultation, so you can get a feel for her approach before committing. My cousin said it really helped him see the bigger picture-like what he needed to do now to secure his future goals

[@Kattyol1]

Oh, I’ve heard of her! I didn’t realize she offered a free consultation. It might be nice to get some professional insight. I’m interested in building up my portfolio, but I’m never sure when I should invest more in stocks or maybe look at other options like bonds or even real estate

[@Robby767]

Yeah, that's the thing. And Nora Jean Erickson's advice isn’t just generic. She looks at what makes sense for your goals and comfort level with risk. I have a friend who talked with her, and they went over things like retirement savings, taxes, and other ways to make the most of his income. He was impressed with how personalized it felt

[@Churchillhump2268]

That’s exactly what I’d need. I don’t want just anyone giving me advice; I’d rather have someone who’ll look at my specific situation and give me options that fit my goals. If I’m working hard now, I want to make sure it actually pays off

[@shiokinsingapore]

Hi, about 45% of the population are not Singaporeans. A better location might be in HDB estates.

[@kelvinmontage9001]

You sound like you’re projecting😂. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with asking those questions. Becos it might cater to those who are looking to work in sg and need a rough idea of how various salaries manage in sg’s COL. It might not be a good representation of how much *singaporeans* earn per se but that’s got nothing to do with ‘foreigners privilege’. People like you always blame others for their own shortcomings on. Why not start taking ownership and do better!

[@piretkivi3218]

Were those salaries before or after tax? Does Singapore provide free medical insurance? Correct me if I am wrong but the problem in Singapore is real estate. If that is somehow taken care of, you can manage with very little, eat well etc. Make a video about rent and mortgage payments. And utilities.

[@lunazero433]

It doesn't matter whether it's before or after tax because there it's pretty much the same thing anyway. After the tax reductions you'd pay less than 5% of your earnings for the year... which is usually less than your year end bonus. So yeah, you wouldn't even notice the amount you lose to taxes. As for free medical insurance, it does provide some for citizens. Most citizens get subsidies but may still have to pay a little.

[@Swizzyinsg]

Thank you for your input! as far as I knoe its before Tax😇

[@Ceryllove]

@@lunazero433 it's not true that you only pay

[@lunazero433]

​@@Ceryllove yes but no one in this video makes more than 120k/year so this means that everyone here pays 5% or less even if we assume they have 0 reductions. Foreigners don't pay 15%, they simply get fewer reductions but the tax rate is the same.

[@zinoGn]

Singapore does not provide free medical insurance. However, we have Medishield which is compulsory for all Singaporean and PR, and is paid by our CPF. Our medical bills are also subsidized based on individual / family earning, which is called mean testing. Basically, if you earn more then u pay more. This health financing system allows Singapore to have enough resources to improve our healthcare system and avoid users from abusing the system (like the free universal healthcare system).

Young singaporeans have lots of disposable income because they live rent-free under their parent's roof until they get married. And 96% of households own their home. Much mollycoddling and spoonfeeding from the parents. And think about the number of singaporean households who employ domestic helpers. GenZ young singaporeans don't do any household chores and have bad spending and savings habits. Topics for you to think about so that you learn more about singaporeans more than skin deep.

Come on singapore is a ridiculous place to stay. Other country tax but enjoy benefit but in singapore tax given we dont enjoy the benefit no medical free no pension no nothing. Cpf is a indirect tax for the government to market it as a saving plan. But main objective for the goverment to take the money to roll more money. And return you the money on a digital form which you unable to use it. Example canada 2k per month you able to own a car and expenses on food.
