Providing For Parents in Singapore: Can We Give Enough?
-
Nebbermind:
Cheap cheap rent out also must cover the utilities costs. What happens if kids cannot manage to find a job, or lose the job?that's why must at least have a roof over our head...better if have extra 2 rooms...
even if cheap cheap rent out, still can have a few hundred $$$ and need not rely too much on our kids.
So like I said, if kids still unmarried (say, >30 yrs old) and living together, must supplement household and pay rent.
Some kids very act-blur...outside buy apt, rent out and continue to live with parents. Collect rent but give nothing to parents who are putting them up!!

I have already planned and put my children and elderly parents welfare...if tomorrow I am gone.... :censored: :censored:dolphinsiah:
If parents nowadays , do not expect their children to take care of them when they are old....
Why in the first place did I want to get marry and have kids.....I always ask myself.... :siao:
20 years ago being a naive lady, nobody tell me being somebody's wife/mother is not a bed of roses....
But I hold myself responsible to bring up my 2 kids......
I guess this is the place where I can only vent my anger....
I always tell my girls do not marry for the sake of marrying...
Do not give birth for the sake of giving....
Bringing up a child means losing your freedom....sometimes even yourself...

But for SAHMs, do you still give any allowance to your parents?
I have placed a lump sum of money to my mom's retirement account, which she can withdraw every month about SGD600...
This sum can last her until her 80s.... :roll:
I feel bad used to give her SGD2k....but now I earn ...4 person spend...so cannot afford to give her so much....
But SGD600 to survive in Singapore is not possible.... :gloomy:
But my mom I know she has keep a substantial amount in the FD/stocks... :moneyflies:
I told her about it and she rebutted me....
\"What !!! You are only going to support me until by 80s....I want to live until 100... \"\" :spank:
\"You only want me to live until 80s only....blah...blah....\" :spank:
That moment I felt like an idiot....
Cannot blame Mom... :scared:
She is getting old , uneducated...so money :moneyflies: :moneyflies: is her security.... :love:
She had a very unhappy childhood...was sold to work as a servant when she was 6....
Aged Parents can be so sensitive..... :?:
I put my kids and parents welfare first....
I now fear my retirement....really drain out... :snooze: :snooze: -

Of course we must be wise and consider exceptional cases lah.
Cheap cheap rent out also must cover the utilities costs. What happens if kids cannot manage to find a job, or lose the job?

dophinsiah, hugs to you. :grphug: Why your mum like that? You spoil her lah.
Some of the cleaners I know make only $600 per month and they are able still survive on it (that's my perception though). -

Financially we plan to be self-sufficient. Don't want to burden the kid .. But it's true we have to be more savvy in this era.that's why must at least have a roof over our head...better if have extra 2 rooms...
