The poor they dun spend muchOriginally posted by Aveme:i think you have forgotten the fact of basic expenditure
If each person's basic expenditure to stay alive is $500.Then the poor person will definately be affected more
Where for the rich person,if the cost for him to stay alive is too $500,after accounting for this,he is still way better and have way more extra expenditure to do other stuff unlike the poor person
You did not see the Frontline prog.. The poor them have to keep food for the next day
Lots of things even they want, they wun buy
Even basic expenditure, I believe most are wants, like watching movie and getting a newer hp -

Can you say that even if they eat very simple meal for all 3 meals and take public transport,that alone will not add up to $500?Couple with loans to pay off for their flat and basic insurance,it is way more likely to be over $500 to stay alive.Getting new hp,watch movie,you can fuck off,i grew up in such a low income family so i understand what it means to just live on basic needs not wants.
If the breadwinner earn $800 (lowest 20% income bracket figure from our department of statistic) and after CPF,they are left with $640 which give them few savings to couple with an emergency cases -

But still the poor then were only making end meets not like now when the bottom 20% income bracket can not even make end meets
And computer is now a Need,not a want,our young need to know how to use a computer now to be competitive.

Furthermore, GST only came in 1994, so it's hard to determine the diff in impact. Though most things prices went up, quite lots when down a lot! Like a box of 5kg Fab powder used to cost $13 back in 1994, now is cost $9.90Originally posted by Aveme:yes it is last time and during those last time,the situation was actually better as singapore was blooming fast then and not stuck with stagflation now
