$$$...

Sheesh.. I must be either getting senile dementia or my brain cells are dying faster than I can breathe.. I can't seem to find anything to blog about lately. Nothing much has been going on, nothing exciting.

Been going around looking for flats.. darn, it's so damn expensive to own a roof here. By the time I can actually settle down with a place of my own, a few nice 50" plasma screen, solid sound systems, designer deco, a nice family car, and maybe a few crawling kids.. I'll probably be a millionaire!

Come to think of it.. that would make most Singaporeans my parents' age millionaires.. and that would probably make Singapore the country with the most millionaires in the world!!

Cashless millionaires.. I'd call it.
We're assest-rich, but cash strapped. Wonder which is worst..


hmm.. from my rough estimates, I'd probably need to save:
1) Wedding Dinner: S$24,000 (S$800 x 30)
2) Wedding shoot : S$5,000
3) Wedding Misc : S$5,000
4) Misc cash for Housing : S$ 10,000 (not incl. CPF and bank loans..)
5) Honeymoon : S$15,000

Sub-total :S$59,000
Subtract wedding dinner (ahem... My dear friends... I thank you in advance for your big fat AngPow! hehe..) : S$35,000

Grand Total: S$35,000
Divide by 2 yrs: S$17,500/yr

Hmmmm... Manageable.. but still if anyone knows of a good bank with old, fat and lazy security guards.. pls do inform me, ok?? hehee..

Ok, back to my daily $1.80 lunch for the next 2 years.. arggh..

hmm...wedding bells coming? How come I wasn't aware? hehe... You forgot to include $$$ for house reno, furnitures & appliances. That can easily amount to $50k. :)

Just my two cents worth.

Hey Ping... hahaa.. was just thinking how couold anyone stay there for sooo long without turning into a vegetable! haha .. juz kiddin... so, where is ur flat? which area u specialised in??

trav said...

Hi Em!! hmmmm.. well, it takes more than just a proposal to announce a marriage right? especially so for guys. Gotta be confident I can take care of the 'other half' b4 pop any question, ya? haha..

Oh, the $$ for reno and others.. should be coming from bank loan and 0% credit instalments..
Just calculating the cold hard cash I'd need.. roughly onli la.. juz an idea the target amount I'll need to save.. =P

Emily said...

oh yes! Must definitely have proposal! *wink* Pls don't propose with "Can we go and buy HDB flat?"

Remember cold hard cash also includes proposal ring. :p

Oh shit, 4got about the overrated stones.. =(
