I'm doing my best not to have my first post be a "rate my expat package" one, but I've been trying to estimate a rough monthly budget for Singapore and would greatly appreciate any feedback - have I left anything out or is it even realistic?
Anyways, I'm mid 20's - would be on my own (no kids), taking home SGD pre-tax 7500/month - excluding all housing, utilities, relocation, etc. which would be taken care of by the company. My goal would be to save approx. SGD 3,500 month, so here goes:
Food/Going out 2-3x a week: 1200
Cable: 100
Transport - MRT, a few cabs: 175
Travel/Misc.: 500
Expenses back home: 300
Total: 2275
I'm not a huge spender and have been pretty liberal with these amounts, can any of you with experience comment on whether this is realistic? Many thanks!
