Cost of Living in Singapore - Experience in SG (Part 4)
Cost if Living per month in Singapore
Singapore is a best place to stay ? im curious about that even I already here for 1yr 4 months. Undeniable Singapore has it best transportation network around the island. Everyone that staying here no need to worry for transportation problem. From the most affordable bus, mrt, cab or even higher cost in getting a car also not such a burden ( beside working hours that need to pay for ERP =P ). At least for me Singapore is really a convenient country.
There are few website that are really helpful for those that wanna search for a location :
- http://www.streetdirectory.com/ – this website should not be strange for most of the people out there as this really a good one for reference getting to a place by bus or mrt.
- http://www.map.gov.sg/StreetMap/ - this website also good enough to search for a exact location.
After settle down for accomodation and able to get around with those convenient public transportation. The next will be the telecommucation services in singapore, else how to get contact around and buzz your buddy. There are few telco here that offer a competive package. There are 3 main telco here, Singtel, Mobile One (M1) and StarHub.
For those who want to get a cheaper Mobile handset definitely will go for postpaid plan that usually with 2 years contract, this allow the subcriber to pay around 60% for the handset compare to retail price. So this is the best choices for gadgets addict. If wanna go for cheaper voice call and idd, i think it will be advisable go for prepaid card, there are package that for cheaper calling and those with bundle services such as 28dollars top up that allow for 100 dollars usage. So be smart in selecting what ever plan that suite your needs !! beside this, there are broadband services as well and the most convenient is the mobile broadband type, a small devices allow you to browse anywhere and anytime with affordable monthly fees. ( myself using one postpaid line and another for prepaid line, cause im aim for cool gadgets and affordable calling rates ^@^ , and of course i get myself a mobile broadband services as well ) there are few website for those information :
www.singtel.com.sg
www.m1.com.sg
http://www.starhub.com/
After get everything with you in hand, and the next will be how much monthly expenses that cost you here ? there are few main monthly expenses as following : ( all will be estimated in average rate)
Rental – $400-$600
Phone – subcription fees ($25-$90++) + ( $usage)
Broadband – $ 20-100
Transport – 80-130 ( Mrt and Buses)
Daily Food Expenses – $10 ( breakfast, lunch, dinner) base on food court price.
