Ha! You'll need it.
You won't really need your whole housing budget so see if you can negotiate utilities/cell phone/club membership as part of the package not to exceed the amount offered. Also, assuming a little, if you don't have children but think you might lots of people here came for a year and stayed 7. So maybe get an education thing in there just in case if you think it applies. It can be 30k a year.

As your post was deleted, which industry are you in?neil89 wrote:Thanks for the advice - it was a serious question but I made the schoolboy error of not checking the forum first - and I know better than that. I can see now that my first post was inconsiderate and it's a great package. So apologies if it caused offence.
I wish I'd seen your first post! As this forum is open, it's useful to let others see what the question was so they can see if the answers are relevant to them. You asked a question, I am sure there are plenty who would have the same or similar one!
However, it IS inconsiderate to remove the post IMO.

nutnut
I remember his 1st post.
He has got a Housing Allowance of $26,000 per month, Cost of Living allowance of $4500 per month and some other allowances and all that aside from his salary and he wants to know if that is sufficient to survive in Singapore.
And from his nick, he seems to be born in 89, so you guys believe this 25 yr old kid?
