  considering I dont pay for bills, rent and some meals, $600 a month is a lot for me already. Give me a simple job 4-6 hours and $600 a month I will be happy.
  
  Then 1/2 the money donate to singapore pools.

  I think it all depends on what you spend it on and if you are a big spender. The best thing is to work it out on a spreadsheet, how much you need to spend on the following monthly and start budgeting if necessary:
  
  - rent (if any)
  - hp bill
  - Home phone bill
  - Internet
  - electricity
  - water
  - gas
  - food
  - public transport fare (or car loan if any and the running cost, season parking etc)
  - entertainment
  - Miscellaneous etc

  It is enough only if you are sure that you won't ever fall ill or suffer any chronic illnesses.

  The average Singaporean would have to pay,
  
  1. Monthly repayment on mortgage
  2. Food
  3. Utilities
  4. Telephone/Handphone
  5. Internet
  6. Transport
  
  Can 1k cover all this for the average Singaporean (w/o kids, family)?

  Yes, $1K is enough when u still in the workforce, but not throughout ur life.
  
  Think about when r old and sick, u need your life long saving in ur bank and CPF to support u.

  Let's say you eat $3 per day. $90 for a month.
  
  Still $910 for new clothes, and enjoyment, oh, and shelter.

  $3 per meal
  
  $9 per day
  3 meals @ $3 each per day
  
  which adds up to $900.
  
  only left $100

  if $9 per day, 1 mth will be 30 x 9 = $270
  
  how u get to $900?

  1 day , 3 meal. 1 meal , about 5 dollars la.
  1 day = 15 dollars.
  15 dollars X 7 days X 4 weeks = $420.
  Give him 200 dollars for others , $420+$200= $620.
  Still have $380. Enough.
