You can say this because you are not married. There's always a sense of guilt if you cannot give them a good life. The man in the house can easily save money himself but he cannot save money for the family.

I accept your comment. It is true being married is a great responsibility one cannot under estimate.

I did see my colleagues at fast food struggle to raise a family and it Is tough....they are torned  apart by wanting to give their families better while trying to make ends meet.

Lesson learned is starting a family is not a trivial decision in Singapore. It can lead to tough times and unmet needs because the pay for .many jobs is very low. ..and govt will make your life harder by importing more people pushing cost of living up.

Couples are having fewer kids or no kids. People choose to remain single.as things have gone down hill for very long. 

It's good that we have MPs like Jamus Lim who go to see what life is like.

But I don't expect things to improve in Singapore because nothing has changed.

Because the leaders are incapable of improving lives ...the only option left is for us to cut our expenses to sustain.

Of you keep hoping govt make things better you will be in more and more trouble because they are going in the direction that can only make things worse
