What happened to your life when you were yang?
How come you have to scrimp until like this?
Ideally, in old age, you should eat better.
But it's ideal. I know not everybody is born with a lucky star.
Seems like the WP is not doing its job.

Then you should stop the useless bunch of PAP in Parliament
When they are in full authority, control and has so many Ministries and Stat Boards under them
from badly managing, planning and organizing the past 15 years

We will be walking down a slippery road if we keep giving COL payouts and bigger ones. That's because we would be conditioning the next generation to become like our northern meighbours who are lazy and expect government handouts.
Singapore must never become a welfare state.. People must work.
The current Workfare Income Supplement is the way to go. If you work and are a low income earner, the government put some money in your bank and CPF accounts. If you don't work, you get nothing.

PAP wants SG to be a Welfare State
That is why they give away good we can do to FTs
raise GST to help the people they made poor
and Foreigners can always suck our blood bank

I don't believe your scrimping is pap's fault. Unless you have a major medical issue, you should be able to earn well enough than having to eat those...
$10 a day can get you a decent cai png lunch and dinner. That's $300 a month.
Even doing food packing or working at Macdonald can get you an income of $2000 a month, and on top of that the government gives you WIS of a few hundrd dollars.. up to $350 every month. So there's no reason why you don't have $300 for a meal of cai png that's the closest thing to home cooked food.
If you have a monthly income of $2300 to $2500, you can even splurge once in a while.
Oh well... we all know that the 39% like to LIE about hardship. For all we know, you eat like this because you are a miser.

Singapore must never become a welfare state.. People must work just like my mother 24/7 in Geylang
The current Workfare Income Supplement is the way to go. If you work and are a low income earner like my mother, government put some money in her bank and CPF accounts. It helps because sometime she get nothing because not enough CECA.
the few picture of food choices are much better then those who eat in hawker center, in terms of protein, fibre, vitamins.
other thing one may consider is egg, can stir fired, sunny side up, or jsut add to soup, soft boil.
tofu, all ways of cooking is a lower cost source of protein compared to meat and can taste very good.
dry sea weed, buy a pack cut into many smaller pieces. take one to make into soup,
small dry fish, dry prawn,
sardine in can .
mushroom.
many other low cost items that is easy to cook. buy less prepared food like hot dog or fish cake which may have lots of fillers.
