SINGAPORE: After a local content creator said in a video on TikTok that earning S$1,900 a month is enough for survivability in Singapore, many commenters pushed back, appearing to believe that this amount is not nearly enough.
“Add everything together, and we come up with the figure S$1872 per month, but let’s just round it up to S$1.9K.
“Taxes, household daily necessities, give parents money… at least need $2,500 a month loh,” wrote another.
A TikTok user wrote that S$1,900 is more than enough, but for someone who lives in Indonesia.
One commenter, however, agreed with Mr Wang, writing, “Actually you are right, if I count just my basic needs with rent, food, transport, insurance, mine is also just 2k-2.1k.”
