That's why I will not rely on my children next time. I know if they grow up in Singapore, no savings at all.
BTW, if you are a housewife, how to give money to parents? Poor husband leh....
I believe it's a matter of how u manage yr finances irregardless of single or double income..just live within yr means lor...I came to know of some sinkies who can afford luxuries but cannot afford to give a little bit of allowance to their parents every month...Furthermore, the allowance may not necessary be a big sum..for those who can afford they can give more, otherwise a small token of gratitude is sufficient to show tat u care to share...Remember a saying : a little can meant so much sometimes...
I am not saying tat we shld rely on our children for money...but rather it shld be our duty to look after our parents needs when we r grown up..
