If a retired person immigrated to Singapore, what would be the average monthly expense?

How much would insurance and medical aid cost?


<strong>Singapore best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by AllanK</i><br/>Frankly speaking, Singapore is not an ideal place for retirement. Cost of living is on the 'high' category in the world, medical fee is not cheap either. The only plus point is as far as safety concerned, it is not a problem. People here are majority friendly and English speaking. If you can fork out, say US $ 6,000 a month, you should be having a comfortable life.</p>
