Very helpful video, thank you Amandine! Love your channel!
Glad it was helpful!
Good to know how you guys manage expenses/budget in Singapore. Nicely explained 👍🏻💯
It's important to manage your expenses in the most expensive country in the world!
To track exactly how much money you're spending is unusual for most young people who usually assume that their income is always going up. Good for you.
I think it's important - a way of keeping life under my control 🤷♀️
It's wise of you to set aside a significant portion of your earnings for savings/insurance. Do consider dividends-paying stocks that have a good track record of dividend payout. So far stocks such as DBS, OCBC, and SIA have delivered. And stocks are more liquid. And you can buy them directly from online platforms.
I think it depends on your risk appetite and your saving strategy! In a perfect world, you get a bit of everything - stock, insurance...
Really you said very well ❤❤
Thank you for the support!

SGD9k income per month? What do you do for a living?
I'm software engineer! Not getting 9k yet!
@@NewtoSingapore But you said 450 tax is 5% of your income, which would then be SGD9k Gross.
@@holypredator It's just a safe amount!
Bonjour, je me permets de commenter en français comme je suis aussi française !
Superbe vidéo merci beaucoup, je vais arriver à Singapour en Juin pour deux ans et ça m'aide à estimer un peu les dépenses que j'aurai/les possibilités de voyager avec mon salaire
Tu m'as aussi donné des pistes pour l'opérateur mobile & où faire ses courses
Bref j'ai trouvé ça très intéressant et merci beaucoup pour les infos
Pas de soucis!
Je suis ravie que les videos t'aides à te projeter! N'hesites pas si tu as des questions - je suis aussi sur Insta and TikTok!
What do you mean by the pill you take as a woman? Like... contraceptive pill?
Yes ^^
So you have a saving of more than 50k in bank account by now?
Yes, trying to save as much as I can!
@@NewtoSingapore Awesome! And you planned to retire in SG and not in Europe? Purchase a house in Europe is so much better. Will be going to Europe this October which includes Paris. Can't wait!
@@crisyorke1328 Enjoy Europe and let me know what you think!
I will probably retire in SG if I end up living most of my life here - it's hard to retire in a country you haven't lived in in a long time
But buying I would love to get a house in Europe if I can!
Aircon $15..? That’s really low!!
You only need to do the maintenance every 3 months!
If don't mind me asking, how much do you earn as software engineer and your youtube channel. If don't want to answer, that's completely fine. I respect your privacy.
I earn about $8k per month as a software engineer and with the youtube channel not much, about $30 per month! I do sometimes collaboration on TikTok especially but most of them are not paid!
You earn 108k a year? Wow
About there, but a good chunk is retirement money 🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@NewtoSingapore That's so good! Very happy for ya!
That's the norm in SG for software engineers in late 20s.. Fresh grads get about $80k.
