Pursue a lifestyle that fits you

Singapore’s not the cheapest. But if you’re not buying a car or dining at restaurants for every meal, day-to-day costs are pretty manageable — similar to other big cities.  

Getting around is easy and cheap.

Public transport takes you anywhere for about USD $0.75–$1.50 a ride, or $45/month if you commute daily. No car needed. 

Find housing that fits your budget.

Co-living and shared apartments are popular with young professionals, starting from USD $590–$900/month. 

Meals don’t break the bank.

Hawker centres serve meals for USD $3–$6. Groceries and local food shopping keep costs down.
