Looks like possible to raise 8 kids with $1200 per month if one is frugal.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

You believe the bullshxt.
1200/30= $40 per day for 8 kids.
There is 1 young toddler still need to drink milk powder.
Look like some of them got to eat only 2 meals a day or did not eat full for 3 meals a day.

If course lah, if got priblems, events beyond yr control, u must seek help...otherwise god will help only those who helo themselves.

Yar, hor
I just checked and milk powder is so expensive $40 and some $70 / canister
Best not to have children!

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

You never heard of breast milk it's free!!!!
1. Morning make break using bread maker ...total cost for 1 loaf is 80cts + butter or jam ...total is $3. Pre mix drink is 30cts for 3 in one coffee. For 8 people is roughly $5.
2. Children pack food to school drink healthy plain water $1.50 each home cooked. Total $12
3. Dinner home cooked plus fruits. Roughly $16 for all.
People don't understand as long as you home cook everything it's not expensive.
Expensive is when you eat out
I am sure i can settle whole family's meal for less than $40 per day. I spend less than $4 per dayon food when I isolate myself for 2 months. Every week I just get sliced bread the big one from seng siong.....the whole week breakfast settled.
One chicken is $4-$6 from supermarket you can fry or cook soup and eat for quite a few meals.

I am wondering how 1 1/2 cups of basmati rice is enough for 8 persons for one meal! A 5-kg bag of rice would last them for 2 months! Are they eating enough?
Before: At your service; After: Serves you right!

Still " subjective " the kids computer ? Laptop? No doubt MOE claim those needy or have financial problem can apply but end of the day you still need to fork out some of your own money
than come " mainteance " , daily need your things will not spoil one meh??
also need money to buy new one to replace.
beside monthly mobile / internet bills. water bill etc
Do note ONLY electric/water Bill Gov does give " rebate " BUT come internet bill is not ok.

Even 250 per month for Sgbuffett alone is challenging
There is no right or wrong decisions.
One only has to bear the consequences that one makes

I think you don’t know much about breast milk .
Go and read more on breast milk before I am going to whack you.
I think you don’t know how expensive to run a house properly in Sg.
How come you always 100% believe what is written on the paper?
Adult can don’t eat, children can don’t eat?
8 kids, you think they don’t complain on food.
How come kor Kor and Jie Jie got 1 more fish ball?

Your children will grow up and how long can it last?
If happened to get sick who pay for the medical bills?
