The Budget Statement made me even more conscious on money flowing out of my pocket. Hence I am looking ways to cut or reduce costs since my income isn’t going to increase.

[MrsKiasu]

Star, I m so lazy to look at the budget in details lor…I only know how to calculate and save small sum…actually wrong…should go out earn money mah hor, for me la…you are working all the way so your accumulation should be at least healthy.

I’ve been traveling more on the tracks these days. The savings, compared to driving, is incredible! For what it’s worth, traveling via public transport is definitely more economical for Singaporeans.

[MrsKiasu]

I agree with you chief..for me, if not for kids convenience..I would use public transport too. Driving, need more planning arh like go to city btw 10~12noon

Chief
What about the time spent on the tracks compared with driving?

[MrsKiasu]

Star, always think you have a car/driving?

That depends on where you start and end. I'm lucky to be near 2 MRT stations. Time-wise, the further you want to go, the longer you need to spend, usually around 2-3 times that of driving. But you get to close your eyes in the train or do your own things lor... stuff you cannot do when driving

In the town where my daughter is studying in the UK, the bus fare starts at GBP2.80 per trip!


I prefer public transport to driving, and just try not to pack my activities and appointments too tightly. My husband insists that I drive at least once a week to keep in practice, though. I will probably have to drive more when my parents need to be ferried around.
