Providing For Parents in Singapore: Can We Give Enough?

[Nebbermind]

Oppsgal:

Cheap cheap rent out also must cover the utilities costs. What happens if kids cannot manage to find a job, or lose the job?

:imdrowning:

Of course we must be wise and consider exceptional cases lah.

Nebbermind:

even if cheap cheap rent out, still can have a few hundred $$$ and need not rely too much on our kids.

alamak, you undressed like that walk around the house all day, cheap cheap also nobody wants to rent. :rotflmao: Better think of alternative income.

If I see manikam, I sure go and buy bigger leaf 1st!!

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).

that's why must at least have a roof over our head...better if have extra 2 rooms...

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!!

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.

I have already planned and put my children and elderly parents welfare...if tomorrow I am gone.... :censored: :censored:

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:

You are already doing very great!! :salute:
I also feel bad about giving much less now, but at least I have a few siblings who chip in.
