One thing I will definately miss when I leave is hanging out with my dear colleagues at mao mao a.k.a Harrys.. We were there as usual for drinks after work and started discussing about Mel and her 5 years fishy plan with her partner.. Yes Melissa, we were gossiping behind your back!! Wahahaha!! HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN A HOUSEHOLDCookie and me have the same kind of mind-set, whatever I earned is my OWN money.. Husband's earnings are to cover for both himself and the family.. Ivy's ambition is to be a receptionist, it may sound silly to some pple but I don't plan things without using my brain juice one lor.. I'm not the kinda person who will enjoy tai-tai life and please, I'm not going to stay at home and look after the kids lor.. I want a simple, no stress job to earn some extra pocket money for myself.. So receptionist seems to be the best future job for aspiring tai-tai like me!! Alright back to the topic.. SL's hubby is earning about 4.5k and she plans to stay at home to be a full time mummy for awhile (they have a flat and a baby, no car).. It's enough to maintain the household expenses but they now have to think twice before splurging on something.. FC's ideal household income will be about 8K (which consist of a child, a flat/condo and car).. But come on lar, how to find a man in Singapore that earns this much?? Let's be realistic, I personally think 6K would be enough for a family.. I see no point having a car (unless I'm very rich) when is so convenient to move around in Singapore.. But at my age, finding someone who earns 4K is already very difficult.. Looking around pple in their mid twenties, guys may be earning at most 3K only lor.. FYI, I have yet to find anyone my age earning this amount.. Morale of the story - Find a (much) older man!!
