How would you spend it?

If they earned $4,946 a month, what would Singaporeans spend it on?

Most of the interviewees told Razor TV they would give their parents about $1,000 to $2,000 out of the sum. Razor TV found that their interviewees are a frugal lot, with one saying that he once survived on $2 to $3 a day.

He also said he will use 55 per cent of his income on his family, 10 to 20 per cent on relaxation and another 10 to 20 per cent on giving.

When the reporter pointed out that he didn't have much left for himself, he said, "I am very easy with my lifestyle".

As for the remainder of the sum, a number would spend it on travelling and entertainment, with one lady saying that she will spend it on vitamins and health supplements.

They say money can't buy you happiness, but everyone knows that the lack of money is not a happy option either. The fact is, money can't buy you everything, but it can certainly contribute to a general sense of well being.

But as every Singaporean will tell you, there sure is a lot to pay for in this country!
