some pple like to think that if individual income take home is above $10k a mth can afford flashy cars and big houses. but actually it's still pretty tight.
car expenses (at current coe and petrol prices and parking rates
![Doh](images/smilies/doh.gif)
): 2k
comprehensive insurance to cover extended family: 2k
a moderate lifestyle (restaurants and entertainment): 2k
2 kids enrichment/childcare/tuition etc: 2k
misc expenses (parents' allowances, new clothes, gadgets, angpao $, taxes, drinks etc): 2k
so technically, not much left for big house liao leh.
