This is a common occurrence.

Those who earns more usually ends up with more debts. 

Power of capitalism, a lack of financial literacy, and trying to keep up with the Joneses contributed to this.

 

Earn more can choose to be in debt or not. Earn less has no choice leh. 

Of course, more is which level? The middle income, $5k per person are the one that need to live like $2.5k in order to qualify middle income. 😆

Not due to high rental.

Shin Min Daily News reported that the Block 148 Silat Avenue stall closed on Sunday, ending an 82-year-old family-run business.

Wang Xueying (tansliteration), 68, told the Chinese media outlet that the landlord of the coffee shop would be increasing the rent from more than S$2,000 to more than S$6,000 after renovations in September.

"The people who support us here are all old people and regular customers. I don't want to raise the price," she said.

"We are old, and it's time to retire. I am reluctant, but there is nothing I can do. Thank you very much for your support over the years."

 

 

 

The ease in which the top of the food chain pass on cost down to the masses is really sick.

I've stopped eating for some years as I find the pricing too high already. U are right, the Q is always long. Always pass by Waterway Point branch, long Q even before they open for business.

Bread very expensive hor! One sack of flour at least $50 right???

I think their profit margin very very high for selling such products at this pricing.
