🌟🌟🌟The Singapore Budget 2024 has been announced and it is a smorgasbord of goodies, one of which is the Special Payment of up to SGD 400 per person.  There are also the CDC vouchers of which eligible families will receive SGD 600 each.  This is in addition to the earlier CDC voucher of SGD 500 per household.  These can be used in supermarkets and food centres. While these Government rebates  are good to have, I believe that it is not adequate to meet the high cost of living in Singapore.   The basic essentials like groceries have gone up as well as transportation and housing costs. Therefore it is important for me to have a budget to allocate my living expenses.  There will be more home cooked meals, checking special offers from supermarket

😱😱 Life is really getting tougher on the ground. The government increased the GST by 1% and the noodle hawker at my workplace increased his noodle’s price by 10%, from $5 to $5.50. He said every ingredient increased by 1% so he needs to charge 10% more! Most of the Budget 2024 measures have no impact on a lot of us as we are not eligible for the support. The government’s policies also seem to prioritize channeling money into CPF rather than directly to the people. It is so sad that this budget does not ease high inflation pressure.

Hais goverment give small money, take back whole chicken, very tough for us singaporean ;( more gst budget pls.

Budget helpful for people in need Singapore's 2024 budget aims at supporting the most vulnerable members of society. For those not directly benefiting from the support measures, you fall under the category of "doing well". The success of affluent and middle-class segments contributes to the nation's overall well-being. So instead of being disappointed with lack of payouts, let's focus our attention on which stock to invest. That's Better use of our time 😁

I don't think is enoughy to help people fihht with inflation. Especially lower medical fees is not cover. I suggest that government should give free consultations and medicine when using polyclinc service. Next closing down CPF SA account also we can't earn the 4.08% interest and the flexibility to withdraw and top up.

Okok good call i love it

Budget 2024:- 1. Nothing can be perfectly good! 2. Depends on dividual satisfaction 3. It is very likely that inflation will continue to surge as due to global warming, wars and frieght forward cost rise.

Replying to @koolgal:indeed correct👏, Prepare for a rainy day.//@koolgal:🌟🌟🌟The Singapore Government has done an excellent job in providing a stable, safe and great place to bring up my family.  However high inflation has slowly but surely eroded the intrinsic value of my hard earned dollars.  The Special payment of SGD 200 to SGD 400 to help with the higher cost of living is a lovely gesture from our government.  However the onus is on me to make sure that my income covers the increased cost of living  due to high inflation.  That is why it is important for me to invest in the markets to generate a passive income through dividends and capital growth. 

Wow big money 💰 🤑

Who expects these $400 to improve their lives?
