You UK salary is in GBP, right? In SG, income tax is only 16% roughly. So if you earn the same amout here, u can still get about 10K per month.
I have two sons, one is 3 and another one is 1.5. We moved from UK to SG because of the same concerns as you.
Pros:
Close to home
Cheap labour (This is my favourite, no need to cook and do housework anymore, haha)
Cheap nursery (If you want to send your child to international nusery, its nearly the same amout as London)
Same culture ( Your parents can come easily)
Cons
Ridiculous house and car price (sometimes I found the house price is more expensive than London)
Singlish
Crowded tube(MRT) Only limited space for you and your baby pushchair
too small, need to go abroad every two or three months, otherwise you will be really bored
No four seasons
No free immunisaton (Will cost you roughly 400 SGD for just one or two shots )
Competitive, people work hard, my colleague usually do OT until 10:00 PM everyday
anyone want to add more?
Singapore is a metropolitan city compared to UK. I am still enjoying living here, but will not stay here permanently because of the above-mentioned problems. Hope my answer can help you.
