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 Singapore, but choosing a smarter, more fulfilling way to live — where my money buys time, freedom, and peace of mind.
