My husband is being offered a job in Singpore, S$20,000 p/month. We have two children aged 6 and 8. The salary includes healthcare for the family but no housing or education. We currently live in Hong Kong and I work too.
My questions are the following:
- should the children attend an int'l or local school. I've heard education here is excellent.
- how much should we set aside for housing? I'm looking for a 3-4 bedroom flat. As I'm not familiar with Singapore, I don't know which area, I would presume not too far from schools.
- the plan is to eventually settle down, buy a home and so on. Is the cost of living high there (food, utilities, etc)?
- would I be able to work in Singapore as well? I'm an English Language Instructor teaching in a secondary school and for university evening courses.
Any advice, especially on kids' education will be most welcome.
I'm sure that many enquiries like mine have been posted

Hi, I believe cost of living in Singapore should generally be lower than in Hong Kong.
But the actual amount will vary widely depending on your lifestyle, of course.
Maybe try a search for "cost of living singapore" on Google and check out the results?
