So the notion of more subsidies means more affordability is not entirely true in Singapore's context.
They give more money to the Pioneer Generation.........so now must take back some from our future generation.........

Not too sure as didn't really calculate over the long term but doesn't really look enough.
A lot of ppl doesn't realise how much it cost to bring up a child. They just pay whatever is needed. When they do the sums, they'll be shocked.

A friend 'regretted' having 3 kids (2 uni going, 3rd gg Uni in 1-2yrs). Good thing the family migrated to Australia, where education is 'free' for citizens.

Believe me, there will be more I need to fork out in the coming years until the last one complete his studies and become independent.
Honestly which parent would really mind spending money on their kids' education ??

Knowing that they could survive when they grow up is already priceless to me.........
