From this video, you will learn what to expect from Singapore, cost of living in Singapore and more! Watch this if you are moving to Singapore from Europe or USA.

In this video, you will know why Europeans are flooding Singapore more and more and what's the biggest game-changer for them to stay here FOREVER! This video is also applicable to the UK as culturally the UK and Ireland are pretty similar (after these words I think I'll be beaten up by both my British and Irish friends). In the previous videos, I told you that I've been living in Singapore for 3 years, but... I lied to you! Though last time we moved here in 2018, me and wife spent half a year in Singapore in 2014, as she was doing her MBA in INSEAD. And back then I just left my marketing job for Gucci and started my own company. After Singapore we lived for a few months in France and Spain before we settled up in Ireland for 4 years (almost all the time living in Dublin, Ireland). But through this time we were constantly thinking that we wanna go back to our favorite country - Singapore: 1. The weather. I know many Singapore expats hate that's is so hot in Singapore, but believe me: if you were born in a cold country, you would hate being constantly cold! Why do you need to struggle half a year long! For example, you have to buy warm clothes, how about that?! And here in Singapore, you save a lot of money cause you need only a t-shirt and slippers. Only time you are frozen is inside the Grab taxi in Singapore! And I've no idea why winter still exists?! Before the pandemic, we went to Japan for skiing. After a couple of days oI was like: what's the point to have winter at all?! So Irish weather was not for us. Can you imagine: When you check the forecast and see an 18 degrees Celcius, you cancel all your meetings and go to the beach. 2. Next one is Europe is too relaxed for me. If you are keen to work on your career or build a business - it's more organic to be surrounded by more motivated people like you see here in Singapore. Although I run my business remotely, mentally it's much easier to do it from Singapore vs Dublin, Ireland. *There is something unique about Singapore. The warmer the country the less business and career-oriented it is. I know some South Africans living in Singapore, they say it's much easier to work from here. 3. The next one is the income tax. This is for you to know what to expect Singapore. In most of the European countries, income taxes are crazy high. In Ireland, you will end up paying 40% for a decent salary. And in some European countries, you'll have to give up to the government up to 60% of the money you made! While in Singapore you pay just around 10 to 15% depending on your salary. Singapore cost of living is cool:) 4. We have a 4-years old daughter. And in Ireland, if we wanted to put her in a decent school, we would need to sign up for it before we conceived her. I'm not kidding. The queue for good schools is literally several years. In Singapore, international schools are quite expensive, it's true, sometimes the cost of living in Singapore is high, but there are so many options for good schools with no queue at all. And if we want to save money it's also possible to send Liza to a local school which is much cheaper. And I actually have some expat friends who chose a local school over an international one. 5. Safety. Most of my friends from Dublin, Ireland experienced stealing something from them. It's pretty normal in Dublin, Ireland. While in Singapore if my wife is going out with friends and its 10pm and I want to sleep.... I'll just go to bed and sleep! It's very very safe in Singapore comparing to other big cities worldwide. .... Hey! I'm Max.
