From dream life to daily pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you still do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last night, after finishing overtime in the CBD, I stepped outside and instinctively opened Grab. When I saw the surge pricing \u2014 the kind that feels like daylight robbery \u2014 I stood on the sidewalk for three seconds, hesitating. In the end, I quietly turned around and walked toward the MRT.<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, I suddenly missed my life in Shanghai two years ago.<br \/>\nBack then, whenever I went out, I simply booked a private ride. When I got home, there would be a freshly cooked meal waiting \u2014 four dishes and a soup. On weekends, I would drive out to nearby cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for short road trips to relax. Friends and relatives all thought that moving to Singapore for work meant I had \u201cmade it in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But only I know the truth \u2014 I came here to endure hardship and tough it out.<br \/>\nHonestly, these two years on this little island have completely cured my sense of pretentiousness. In what outsiders see as a paradise of wealth and prosperity, I experience what feels like a cliff-like drop in social status every single day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3286 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/gtgoodtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gtgoodtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gtgoodtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gtgoodtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/gtgoodtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s start with cars.<\/strong><br \/>\nBack in China, owning a BMW, Mercedes, or Audi is basically the standard marker of being middle class. Here in Singapore? The price of the COE (Certificate of Entitlement) alone could cover the down payment for an apartment in my hometown. When I see an ordinary Japanese car on the road selling for S$150,000 to S$200,000, reality hits hard: in Singapore, owning a private car isn\u2019t a symbol of the middle class \u2014 it\u2019s the entry ticket to being genuinely wealthy. For ordinary office workers like us, we might as well accept our role as loyal public transport users.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Then there\u2019s housing.<\/strong><br \/>\nI rent out my apartment in Shanghai, but the rental income can\u2019t even cover the cost of a decent master bedroom here. I used to live in a spacious apartment; now I\u2019m squeezed into a small condo unit barely a few dozen square meters. Every month when I transfer the rent to my landlord, it honestly hurts. That sense of being cramped and confined \u2014 can it really be offset just by wearing a shiny CBD office badge every day?<\/p>\n<p><strong>And don\u2019t even get me started on food.<\/strong><br \/>\nForget Michelin restaurants \u2014 those are places you only go to when you receive a bonus. Most days, meals come from hawker centres: heavy carbs, oily and salty dishes that simply fill the stomach. If I want to treat myself to a proper Chinese meal on the weekend, the bill \u2014 once GST and service charges are added \u2014 feels like I\u2019ve just swallowed gold. Even buying a durian like Musang King now requires standing at the stall calculating carefully before deciding.<\/p>\n<p>Is this really the famous \u201chigh salary, high standard of living\u201d?<br \/>\nSometimes when I walk along Orchard Road, I feel strangely disoriented. Back in China, I worked incredibly hard to reach what people called the middle class. I thought coming to Singapore meant leveling up in life. Instead, it feels like I\u2019ve gone right back to square one overnight. On paper, my salary in Singapore dollars looks impressive \u2014 but in reality, I\u2019m living the life of what I can only describe as a \u201cwell-dressed poor person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I know Singapore has many advantages. The economy is stable, and public safety is so good that people leave their bags on hawker centre tables to reserve seats even late at night.<br \/>\nBut when this sense of security comes at the cost of a huge downgrade in lifestyle, I can\u2019t help asking myself: is it really worth it?<\/p>\n<p>Especially when I scroll through social media at night and see friends back in China spending weekends camping, going on road trips, and showing off their big homes. In the face of Singapore\u2019s sky-high cost of living, the thin layer of prestige that comes with being an \u201coverseas professional\u201d is starting to feel like it can barely hold together.<br \/>\nSo what about the rest of you?<br \/>\nAfter moving to Singapore on a work visa, do you truly feel your quality of life has improved \u2014 or are you, like me, quietly struggling with this strange form of \u201cinvisible poverty\u201d?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Move to Singapore for a better future&#8230;or regret it later?
