Many people assume that having a high income guarantees financial stability, but the reality is quite different for one woman.
Taking to r/askSingapore, she shared that despite her husband’s substantial monthly income of $9,000, they were still experiencing financial difficulties. “My husband earns 9k a month but it seems to be not enough. Recently, we can’t even save at all,” she wrote.
“We don’t have a lavish lifestyle, but we barely have food. We don’t even eat out a lot. Maybe once a week or sometimes not at all. And if we do, it’s only gonna be fast food,” she added.
She also revealed in her post that her husband shoulders the entire financial responsibility as the sole breadwinner while she takes on the role of a dedicated stay-at-home mom, caring for their two young children, aged 6 and 11 months.
