This ^, if you are going to aircon yourself 24/7. Otherwise it should be closer to 500.CurlyUK wrote:Bills/Utilities - 1,000
I think it's not that bad. While living here I've been wearing generally L-XXL and had no problems to buy reasonable (life time up to 2y) and inexpensive (S$20-70 for jeans, smart casual trousers, shirts) stuff in places like JohnLittle or Robinsons.zzm9980 wrote:Clothes, for "nothing flashy", do you mean Gap, or no-name generics outside the hawker centers?
For example, $100 won't get you underwear and jeans at the Gap in Singapore. You could get away with Bossini and Giordano (semi-local brands), but be aware if you're not sized like most locals, you won't fit into their clothing. As an example, my dress shirts are solid sized "M" at Gap, Banana Republic, and from most western designers. At G2000 (Giordano's dress shirt shop) I wear an "XL". I don't think they have bigger options.
Electricity rates for condos are higher than HDB ..JR8 wrote:As X9 suggests, utils is way too high. you could easily do it on $500 all in, but then if you're recycling the latest iPhone contract each 3 months and fridging your flat it might be more.
p.s. don't think my utils were more than $250/mo on a 3 room room condo, but then I'm cheap to run

What is in the table is average electricity CONSUMPTION (kWh). The cost of the unit (1 kWh) is at the top of the table and is the same for the whole table.ecureilx wrote:http://www.singaporeexpats.com/guides-f ... e.htm#Costsundaymorningstaple wrote:ecureilx wrote: Electricity rates for condos are higher than HDB ..
How does this translate ? HDB and condos are charged the same ?
Condos were ranked together with 'APARTMENT' unless PUB decided to charge lesser rates for condos
or, according to statistics collected by HDB, on average an HDB uses up X electricity much per month while an apartment consumes Y electricity. Your PUB shows you the average consumption of your dwelling unit type in them bar charts at the back for electricity, gas and waterx9200 wrote:What is in the table is average electricity CONSUMPTION (kWh).
