The paradox of the rich will get richer, and the poor will get poorer. Unless we work in sales, with much connections, it shouldn't be a problem earning more than 1.5k per month with commission isn't it?

I am doing my best to look for online opportunities as well, unfortunately, Singapore does not have much survey sites for us.

i think most mid-age singaporean got problem earning > $1500, i think nowaday young people got no problem earning that much, but we do grow old, next time when we grow old, we also may not earn > $1500... government focus on future not the past...

Sometimes you wonder how they managed to feed the whole family with the pay they have.

All posts made are of subjective nature by default, unless explicitly mentioned. I am afterall still human.

I will take the data from them with a pinch...

Anyway, why is it that there are still 20% of them still earning less than 800? Are they partially employed or part timers or they underdeclare their income if they are business people? All the factors will have to be taken in before we can make any conclusion.
