Appliances like white goods I would not as condo's usually come with them already. Furniture on the other hand really depends on what you have already, the quality and if you like and want to keep them. As with most places in the world you can get a range from very cheap to very expensive. You need ...

Total the opposite, property price are likely to go up. In times of uncertainty money shifts to safer havens, e.g. gold, cash and in the cash of Singapore property. As a large chuck of the value of a property is in the land and not the building itself and as land goes at a premium, property is seen ...

FairPrice Finest in 100AM had plenty on Sunday.
There was a "special on" think they're overstocked!

The issue for me is I may have over exaggerated my salary when I was negotiating with my new employer and obviously they will see the application form. Will the Singapore Government verify my previous salary or...? You need to get past the hurdle of the new company first. You better hope that they'...

I've been told by so many people that I would be insane to move to Singapore with that Salary but I can't understand why. They're just jealous! That money is more than fine for a young singleton. Just come out here and enjoy :mrgreen: On your budgeting you've missed of utilities, such as water, ele...

I've needed to produce UK police records in previous roles e.g government and also obtaining certain licencing.
Shouldn't be any issue unless you of course do have a police record...

You say you're looking at this long term.... to put it bluntly it could take a long time. Best bet is to position yourselves as well as you can job wise in the UK to open those opportunities to get a transfer here. You say you husband works for a global bank, he should perhaps re position himself to...

Good luck trying to enact that based on your resignation.
I would spend efforts in trying to find somebody to take over the remainder of the lease.

a selection of M&S biscuits especially the redcurrant puffs

...but they sell them here too, albeit at around twice the price.

If you're talking about bringing items much cheaper than here I would say bring deodorant.

Think its China First Capital Group? https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/china-first-capital-group-stock-plunges-76-half-hour-trading-2019-11-1028720988 You would expect it's more an exception to the rule, dumping a huge volume will do this to the price: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/a...

US-China trade war uncertainty, as simple as that.
Unpredictable as anything. Take your money to the casino instead

S$140k is around GBP70k take home. To take home that amount in the UK you're looking at a salary of around GBP100k. So around a 30% uplift in salary. Good luck, you'll need it. What field of work are you in? London is just as, if not more competitive than Singapore as there's a much larger talent po...

I prefer Grab as it's usually cheaper especially at peak times. With Gojek it's a lottery to what type of car you'll get. It can be anything from a very nice Vellfire to a crappy 10 year old car which thinks it's in Fast n Furious. I've been in cars with those neon lights under the car I kid you not...

went to the GP very expensive and you don't see anything better to go on a rooftop with a drink I think

All a matter of opinion I guess... in comparison to Europe the GP in Singapore is cheap.
You want cheaper go to Hanoi next year
Now that IS cheap.

Upcycling is taking the goods and adding additional value to it, kind of renovation++. Recycling is just re-using either the whole thing or just parts
