Dear Mum, Since Singapore is very expensive, savings is always an issue factor. I think if manageable, you can look for some freelance or part-time opportunities , that interest you. That way you will not feel it as a burden and at the same time you earn as well :)
I feel you. I would also like to quit my job to be a SAHM, but i still don't have the guts to do that. My baby also 6 months now. I do plan to quit after i get bonus in Feb next year. Not sure, if we could make it financially every month.
3k :) i live pretty comfortably with simple home cooked meals. i think it is how you want to live. i do some online selling for additional pocket money. all is well
Bring home about $7.5k nett. Can survive but cannot splurge. Will be good to work as self employed or part time so your partner will be less stressful
Not a stay at home mum. But I think to survive comfortably in singapore you need about 10k household income (including company CPF).
Wow! Reality hits. Then I'll have a long long way to go before I can quit. Thanks for sharing!
