Can you be as thrifty as you were a student
-
When we were still a student, we survive on a few hundred dollars allowance from our parents every month.
After we graduate and start working, we earn at least one thousand plus dollars a month.
Suppose when you start working, you don't have to give your parents money, no housing and car loan, no wife/children to support, never invest your money etc, are you still able to survive on just a few hundred dollars like when u were still a student?

if i were to imagine it, i'd guess it will be possible. . .
provided i stay home every day! -
Most friends I know got a few hundreds > 1k+ a month in allowance during Uni. Some will earn more by working etc. It's not too surprising actually.
And yes, if you decide to live a responsible and frugal lifestyle, it's possible to sustain the same level of spending. Of course, if you earn a decent starting paycheck like upper 2Ks, and you still pass some cash back to your folks, you should still have enough to save and spend a bit.

for home expenses... jia yong qian...It's a concept lost on many of the young teens. Some even have the gall to ask for allowance during NS.

So far my place very very small... Max 4 students, so can reach max 90 per hour only because I charge cheap :(
I looking for place to rent, so can reach till like 6 students... and by then charge a bit more...

so far for Apr, I start doing a day to day summary sheet of my expenditure, under 3 categories
Misc $22.50
Food $115.01
Transport $19.49And my budget originally was
Misc $200 (include supplements)
Food $700
Transport $80Still need to deduct money for giving mum and paying back CPF education loan (estimate $600 monthly)
remaining then used for savings/investments -

I can still get cai png at $2... 1 fish (flour more than fish) and 1 veg. But if I want to eat noodles, hard to find liao... at least need $2.50. Problem is most of them eat finish still not full.
But LL lor, need to save money... faster I save, faster I can go study. I cycle to work so no need spend so much on transport, maybe 1 week twice since I don't cycle when I'm dead tired. Good thing is I no need give parents a portion of my salary and also no loan to pay back since I never use my mother's CPF to pay for poly sch fees... work like no day no night during poly just to pay the sch fees.
But then now spend more and more, sec sch 1 week < $20 still can survive, now 1 week at least need $30.
