You should be able to do rough calculation how much your parents are paying for your share of household expenses so to determine if the $400 is sufficient. Then I guess anything additional you want to give them is an individual decision.
I guess it works differently for every family because we all have our own lifestyle and needs. Maybe you can have a talk with your parents to find out what they usually spend on and how you and your brother can help to contribute
Yup it’s not enough. You stay with your parents. Hmm… Utilities easily $200. S&CC let’s say $60. Monthly Wifi. Plus their own mobile lines. Groceries easily $600 a month for my household of 4.
same amount as before having baby & hdb my parents 2k in-law from 1k reduce to $700 after I being retrenched last June 2020
nope, I've no choice. my parents retired and I only have one younger sis.
