Hello All,

I'm planning to live in Singapore, how much money by month do you need to live in a medium level?

I think accomodation is the most expensive thing I have to consider.. what do you suggest?

Thanks a lot !!

Hello Lilis, Welcome on ½ûÂþÌìÌà ;)

shall help you to obtain an overview of the cost of living in Singapore.

And as per this link, you are right to say that the accommodation part shall be considered as the most expensive "item" per month.

Hope this helps!

Lilis,
you will need to define medium coz, for example rental can start from 1500$/mnth for an govt approved HDB to 5000$/mnth for a decent upmarket condo...(still being medium here).

rest is how you live off:
Internet + Cellphone + TV  can cost you 250$/mnt (min)
Travel - another 100-150$/mnth and if taxi then 350$/mnt and upwards
Bills will be upon usgae - say arnd 100$
Food and all is pretty ok - 500-1000$/mnth (if u eat out a lot) and depending on family size.
Partying is costly - a pint of beer is 12-15 $
cigarettes - 12$/pack

rest should be rounded off approx...

hope u get some useful stuff outta this...
