Ouch...really painful. RM$6000 is the median income in Kuala Lumpur (not whole of Malaysia which is lower).

This is achieved by both husband and wife working for about RM$3000 a month (S$1200) which is quite common place in KL where the median job income is RM$6300 per month. This RM$6K is achieved by just one person working at median income salary or 2 person working at half median income salary.

At this median salary, the family can own and drive a car, live in a condo and raise a family.....although the family budget is very tight.

Wonder the at the median salary level of S$3480 in Singapore, what is life like in Singapore (or a husband and wife both work earning $1750 each)....can live in condo and drive car?
