high cost of living

the cost is really killing me.
Now every afternoon for lunch, eat outside.
A pack of rice with 1 meat and 2 veggies can be 4.20 from northpoint foodcourt.
And if I add in a drink that will be even higher.
And transportation fare killing me too.
Now everyday i need to travel....
Mrt and bus....., 80 bucks is not enough for a mth........
But of coz, if compare to my previous travelling to school to teach, its still very much cheaper, as I need to take cab in order to reach school on time.And need to take care back in order to fetch my kids on time. And there's peak hour charge. just a simple trip from woodland to yishun will cost me more than 10bucks....
hmm.....if i compare in that way, maybe I shouldn't grumble....
but.......other things are killing me too.

medical expenses, myself and kids....whether chinese doc or western doc.
per mth for medical is about 300 for me, and my 3 girls.
hand fractured, every review cost me about 40-70 with subsidy.
eye review cost about 30-50 with subsidy.
cost of PD is high. GP is cheaper, but they dun specialise in children's problems.
polyclinic is cheap...yes....but waiting time enough to kill me also.
I will not wait there with a cranky monster...I die faster that way.
chinese doc for my cough....about 50 per visit.
chinese doc for my girls flu and cough, about 30 plus per person, per visit.

If just a dengue case can cost me 5k for 4 days 3 nights stay in hospital. touch wood, if something more serious, I think I need to kill myself 1st. And if people are so sick until want to die already, you think still go go polyclinic to queue and make appointment for referal to hospital and wait wait wait. Waiting 10 seconds is enough to kill that person.

conclusion? I think I need more insurance........no...i think i need more money....no....i think I need some changes in the coming election.

yes....people up there can say burst budget nevermind. so eat into the reserve again. But people at the bottom dun have reserve to eat into, if every mth burst budget here and there, who's going to fill up figure? a cleaner may be earning 800 a mth or lesser. if burst budget by 3 times...that will be 2400. how is the person going to clear off the debts...no saving and reserve to eat into.
