Mummies who are SAHM, would you mind sharing how much is your household income like? I've been longing to be SAHM. My hubby is working as a freelance tutor with take home salary of around $4k. However, we have some liabilities like loans, etc. Both of us know that it's not enough to survive on one person income especially when we still have a 6 months old baby. So.. I can stop thinking about being SAHM not for the time being. Just curious.. How do the rest of the SAHM manage with single income?

Singapore standard of living is quite high. A trip to NTUC easily costs $50 in groceries. Anything less than $8K a month would be really tight squeeze for a family with children. Above that, I believe you got to make it work. For me I was only comfortable quitting to become a SAHM when hubby could give me a certain allowance just for myself that I can comfortably spend on myself, not affecting the household expenditure.
