err....conflict in Middle East just become the hot topic

By now, you would already got your social feeds firing on this topic.

Personally, the only reason I care about this is, unfortunately, whether it will cause economic hardships for Singapore and thus myself and my loved ones. 

Yes, the politically correct answer should had been : wish the conflict ends soon and no more innocent lives are lost, and I will donate to Red Cross!

Well, that's nice to say and to be seen saying

But I know I am not making any difference, and my best shot is to ensure me and my family stay above water, and not end up being a burden, which if we are successful, is a small contribution already.

Am I selfish? Why not? Who isn't? I am not hurting anyone by ensuring I take care of myself and my family. What the heck can I do for someone who is there in the conflict now?

Now, don't get me wrong. I do donate to Red Cross several times before, not big amounts, but I answered some of those calls for help. I wonder whether I made a difference with my couple hundred bucks. I figured I made a bigger difference when I tip the Grab driver or the Grab guy/gal who delivered my food even when it was raining crabs and laksa here. 

That's uncle style. You don't like it, too bad. Wait until you are at my stage of life then you come and tell me what you think again. 

Still, hope peace and sensibility prevails for those who are in power to make a difference.

Please.

Expenses of a middle-classy Singapore uncle with family

I don't know what exactly is considered middle-class in SG, but I figured its the fat range in the middle section if we were to line people up based on income. There will be a steep drop off from the bottom 5% and a steep surge from the top 5, and another galactic surge from the top 1%. Uncle is pretty sure I am in that middle chunk of 90%, and based on my estimation, should be in the front 30 percentile in this chunk. Now, this is how my expenses look like for myself (excluding what my wife contributes). The numbers are on per month and in SGD Car expenses (loan, insurance, maintenance, tax, fuel) = $2,500 Insurance premiums = $800 Utilities bill = $350 Mobile lines for 5 = $90 Home internet line = $30 Services (Netflix, Spotify, iCloud) = $60 Condo maintenance fees = $350 Property tax = $250 Groceries and take out meals = $1200 Allowance for my parent = $1000 Allowance for kiddos = $200 School fees for kiddos = $150 Tuition fees = $270 Piano, and music classes = $900 Sub-Total fo...

The joy of freedom

As a parent with young school going children, you want to be there for them all the time, being available when they need help, guidance, company etc. You also want to not miss major milestones, achievements, celebrations as they grow up.  This by itself is a luxury that not many parent can afford in Singapore. With most families having both parents working full time, what happens to their kids? When they are very very young (below school age), there's full day childcare, either with professionals or with extended family help. When they start going to school (primary, secondary), there's after school student care options, or someone could be at home (a grandparent), or a live-in domestic helper, or maybe even just the kids will be home alone after school and before parents leave office.  Then when you finally got vacation leave approved, maybe for 7-10 days a stretch, you plan efficiently for your family overseas trip, squeezing as much itinerary as you can possibly afford to, ...

Getting comfortable without a salary from working

 Not sure if I am there yet. Basically I am effectively drawing down my cash each month, primarily due to 2 things : mortgage and income tax mortgage (after CPF) is about $9k per month income tax is about $5k per month My investment cashflow covers all my other expenses, including utilities, groceries, handphone/internet bills, insurance, property taxes, condo maintenance fees, personal spending. With some input from wife who is still working, I am still out of pocket by almost $11k per month.  She will continue to be able to save a decent sum per month and I'll let her grow that and managed it for her via safe investments. Am I comfortable? Not really. I will if I am not out of pocket per month. If I really stop working for good, the income tax amount will go to $0 after 2025. So only mortgage left We can pay off the mortgage but I think I said before, it doesn't make sense since it's our home and we will be locking the money up with little leeway to do other things. So I ...
