2021, a family of 4 needs $6500 afford standard of living vs today's probably $8000
#1

8 Oct 2021 "A family of four, with parents, a pre-teen and a teenager, needs at least $6,426 a month to afford a basic standard of living, a study on household budgets has found.

A family of two, with a single parent and a toddler or pre-schooler, meanwhile, needs $3,218 a month.

But a substantial and concerning proportion of working households in Singapore - about 30 per cent - do not earn enough to meet these needs."

But with todays much higher cost of living and lesser job opportunities, probably increased to 40% living below poverty level.

How to justify being ranked among riches countries?
