Singapore

[Barry Sanchez]

How much is needed for a good standard of living over there, I ask as my wife has been offered a position over there, she/we probably wont take it but just interested to know, I know its expensive on business but has anyone lived out there?

I imagine a westerner selling their body would do quite well.

I've lived in Singapore for many years so can give you an insight. Singapore can be expensive in terms of day to day expenses in particular, housing rental, schooling if you have kids, owning a car, health expenses etc. However if you can get part of these included within your package you will be fine. Income Tax is so much lower here compared to UK, in the region of 85% less here for the same salary which is very attractive. Without knowing what kind of package you've been offered it's very hard to say whether it's good or not. If you want to know any specific costings let me know or you can email me on

The internet coverage is really bad out there and you will not be able to access this forum . So can I donate a £5 for your flight tickets mr Sanchez ?

Well, after Liverpool, it will seem like paradise, whatever the cost of living comparisons.

rent costs coming down at the moment there, but what you save in that you'll spend on booze.
