It just goes to tell you that nurses really get paid sh!t in Singapore. I probably earn equivalent to a few of the junior Sisters in the wards.

In that case, you really should speak to your boss about your increment!

It's been days since I discovered this, but my heart STILL bleeds over the AUD900+ that the awful tax blokes deducted from last fortnight's pay!!!
All I got was a measly increment, and the deduction is way out of proportion, making my disposable income lower than it used to be pre-increment!!!
the tax ppl maths failed??!! how can u get less than b4 ur increment??!! then increment for wat??? -

The market is okay now.. if you want to change job, its best to change after your increment. Your current job benefits isn't very good.. esp medical benefits!!

Some things cost more, other things cost less. I look around me and I find fellow Singaporeans and Malaysians here who somehow manage to save A LOT by being frugal, so it IS possible to live comfortably here without spending a bomb.
Besides, the culture here's different. I find that nobody indulges in shopping as much as Singaporeans back home do. I guess people want different things here...

Increment = Pay more taxesAnd Rhonda could be at the point where she hit the next lvl of taxes and with the higher % she have to pay, in the end her take home is less :X

Sometimes, it doesn't make sense over here because hard work gets 'rewarded' with extra taxes. I remember my colleagues telling me that she stopped taking up extra shifts with nursing agencies on her days off because she ended up paying even more taxes.
I'm determined to scrutinise every single line of the tax booklet this year to legitimately claim as much as I can back!

I just hope that her baby won't lose out in terms of inheritance... and I don't mean inheritance of a lifetime worth of debts and other liabilities!
