bangkok please ! best for day and night living @Success88 @MHh @BABAMood @Aqa @rL

🏠 Many Singaporeans have second homes in Johor Bahru of Malaysia. Life in JB is much better without spending as much money in Sg. Just half an hour’s drive over the causeway and it’s heavenly JB! Thanks @Tiger_SG @RPGold

Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia is the dream city to move to. This is the best place one can stretch the hard earned SGD. The standard of living and culture is most similar to Singapore while the currency exchange rate is 1SGD=3.30Ringgit. Let’s go KL! Thanks @Tiger_SG @GoodLife99

Don’t bite the hands that feed you! Be patriotic to your Country and don’t emulate the people from the developing countries that behave like a Nomad! 

Malaysia’s Penang is also my dream city. Totally agree with Tiger_sg that cost of living is really low there with high standard of living. This is one of the best place to live like a King with SGD. Thanks @Tiger_SG @GoodLife99

if my saving can cover daily expenses in singapore, I will go different places every month, why stay at one place if you have the money to stay in different countries.

I will move to JB. And return to Singapore via RTS when it is ready in 2026. Live on my CPF life payout. 

Earn in sgd , spent in overseas but eventual return back to sg spending . We have to support sg if you plan to stay and live here. No question abt that! 

🐲🍙 Happy Dragon Boat Festival to all Tiger friends! 😊 Bangkok is the Best Asian city to live as shown in the survey by Time Out, a British media and hospitality company. I like to live in Bangkok for its affordability in everything I need. It is a big city legendary in culture, happiness and a top tourist destination. Thanks @Tiger_SG @1PC @icycrystal

Switzerland, but because I think flying back and forth for a long time will make me tired, after all, my relatives and friends are all in Singapore. I still choose Johor, where you can drive or take the RTS.

For me, Malaysia is a good choice! A country that is just across the bridge. with 3x currency conversion, one can enjoy multiple benefits and different lifestyles.  I will spend a few months around the island like pulau tioman, pulau besar, etc. (diving and experience beach boy life)

I will move to London as I m a London gal [LOL][Happy][Chuckle]. Every day go for my musical show or play. 😇😍🥰

Chiang Mai offers a stark contrast to Singapore’s high living costs. Rent, food, and utilities are far more affordable, allowing expats like Mr. Chen to live a more comfortable life on their savings. For example, renting an apartment in Chiang Mai can cost SGD 400-700, while in Singapore, it can exceed SGD 3,000. Eating out is also significantly cheaper, with meals at local restaurants costing as little as SGD 5-10. a higher quality of life without the financial strain. Cities like Chiang Mai, Bali, and even Lisbon offer lower living costs, better work-life balance, and a slower pace of life—ideal for those who want to escape the pressures of high-stress work environments.This move highlights a growing trend among Singaporeans: seeking a higher quality of life without the financi

A few options on South East Asia.  First Malaysia will be most convenient. So near, can drive can take bus or train, can even walk. If you adventurous, can also swim, but don't get caught.  SGD more than 3x MYR. Sedap! Next Thailand, for more bang for the buck and exotic cuisines. Tom yam goong aroi mak!  Its just above Malaysia so also convenient. Finally, "Xin Chao!" Vietnam. Another paradise with some French touch... A different taste of food with beautiful sights and sounds to rest n relax.  My choice? Pick all 3 locations and try them out. [Happy]  [Tongue]  [Love you]  

JB, Malaysia or Hua Hin, Thailand.

🌟🌟🌟Moving to Johor Bahru, Malaysia isn't just about relocating.  It is about embracing a lifestyle where my Singapore Dollars unlock greater comfort, freedom and opportunity.  It is a chance to stretch my earnings further, live more abundantly and invest in a future with fewer financial constraints. A Lifestyle That Feels Luxurious, Without the Premium Price Luxury isn't measured by sky high price tags but by the thoughtful details that elevate every day moments.  I can picture myself savouring a gourmet meal crafted by master chefs, where every bite is a celebration of local flavours and global techniques - all at a fraction of the cost I expect to pay in Singapore. Cafes, boutique shops and stylish accommodation here in Johor Bahru don't just offer a service.&nbs

It is always my dream to live in a charming, slower-paced city abroad while still earning a Singaporean dollar income ( via rent or trading). This setup could provide a unique blend of financial stability and a relaxed lifestyle. Cities like Chiang Mai in Thailand or George Town in Malaysia might offer the perfect balance, with their rich cultural heritage, safety, and laid-back atmosphere. The SGD power could provide a comfortable lifestyle in these cities, allowing you to enjoy local amenities and experiences while maintaining financial ties to Singapore. The cities' proximity to Singapore also allow easy travel back to meet up with relatives or friends and medical access. This arrangement could be ideal for remote workers or digital nomads seeking a tranquil and affordabl

Not just anyone can earn in SGD and live like a 'king' elsewhere. Still happy to earn in SGD and live like an average folk in SG lah.

I recall that big Google lay off.. I have neighbour from the company & she was working from home most of the time.. had my envy for awhile back then, only to feel sorry later that this is affecting so many. If I were to choose myself.. I would not choose those far away places. I have lived with my husband in Panama for a good 9 months & it was indeed a slower paced life, however I couldn't enjoy proper Chinese food & definitely missed my Chinese desserts back home in SG [Sad] Thus after coming back, I treasured my home country so much more, not just in terms of the food variety but everyday - it's the safety outdoors that I enjoy and my friends & family here even amidst the rising costs of living. I guess if I'm at my wits end.. perhaps I'll look for my distant relatives &

If your savings can cover your basic expenses, which dream city would you move to? Is the best lifestyle for Singaporeans not living in Singapore? Where does your SGD stretch the furthest?In 2024, Mr. Chen from Singapore was laid off. He had worked at Google for nearly a decade and saved up about SGD 2.56 million. After assessing his finances, he realized that even without working, his investment interests, dividends, and capital gains were more than enough to support his lifestyle.So, he took this opportunity to give himself a break — and chose to move with his wife to Chiang Mai, a city known for its low cost of living and high quality of life.Life in Chiang Mai has been incredibly relaxing. There’s no rush or stress. He wakes up every morning to cook breakfast for his wife without worry

If my savings could cover my basic expenses, I’d seriously consider moving to a slower-paced, lower-cost city where my Singapore dollars stretch further. Chiang Mai stands out — a relaxed lifestyle, great food, and a vibrant expat scene, all for much less than what I’d pay back home. A spacious apartment for SGD 580/month compared to over SGD 3,000 in Singapore? That’s hard to ignore. Honestly, the best lifestyle for Singaporeans might not be in Singapore. The high costs and constant pressure can wear you down. Living abroad in places like Portugal or Malaysia offers better balance — more time, less stress, and the same comforts, but at a fraction of the price. My dream escape would be somewhere peaceful and affordable, like Chiang Mai or southern Portugal. It’s not about giving up on Sin

In today’s world, where remote work and flexible careers are becoming the norm, many people are starting to rethink how and where they live. One smart approach is geo-arbitrage: earning in a strong currency like the Singapore dollar (SGD) while living in a country where the cost of living is much lower. Let’s face it, Singapore is a great place to work, but it’s not exactly cheap to live. But what if you could keep earning in SGD and enjoy a higher standard of living in places like Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, or Indonesia? In cities like Chiang Mai or Da Nang, your rent, food, and daily expenses could be a fraction of what you’d spend in Singapore. Think $2 meals, $400 beachfront apartments, and affordable healthcare. Your savings grow faster, and your money goes further. This lifestyle i

Chiang Mai, Thailand Why It’s Great: Chiang Mai is a digital nomad haven with a low cost of living, reliable internet, and a relaxed vibe. It’s a short 3-hour flight from Singapore, making it easy to visit or relocate. The city blends cultural experiences (temples, festivals like Yi Peng) with modern amenities like coworking spaces (e.g., Punspace). The SGD’s strength stretches far here, offering a high quality of life. Cost of Living: SGD 700–1,400/month for a single person, including rent (SGD 300–700 for a modern one-bedroom), food (~SGD 5–10/day at local markets or street stalls), and transport (tuk-tuks or scooters at ~SGD 2–5/ride). Family Fit: Family-friendly with affordable international schools (~SGD 500–1,000/month) and safe, walkable areas like Nimmanhaemin. Parks and kid-f

I think Malaysia sounds good. Rental can be cheap and there is much to explore to spend time. There is much food variety comparable to Singapore or more at affordable prices. Language is not a barrier which means I do not have to learn a new language to get by. It is also not susceptible to many natural disasters which gives peace of mind and stability. With the all year round summer like Singapore, there is also no need to prepare clothes for the 4 seasons. Most importantly, it is close to Singapore for me to return home if there are urgent matters to settle, visit family and seek healthcare if I need to in the future. Having seen the healthcare overseas, I think Singapore is still the best and my 3Ms will make it affordable with insurance cover. Singapore is great for retirement if one h
