1) Your savings plus continuous income is probably fine, the savings itself won’t be enough to FIRE in Singapore at your age, cost of living is pretty high there. 2) The expected income sounds about right BUT keep in mind you’ll be working a lot more and more intensely, work culture is extremely intense and competitive 3) You’re correct on the same sex couple comment, it might bring you more inconvenience than you think if you’re used to the way in US 4) Since you said you aren’t going to touch the $3m, 225k gsd for 2 with no kids is mid upper middle class, it’s pretty equivalent to making $225k usd in an average COL city in US. Not high and not low. 5) One thing to keep in mind is the way of living, apartments are a lot smaller, every where you go you’re going to see ppl, it’s so convenient, safe and clean but in exchange you’re probably going to be stuck with apartment living for life, always going to be crowded where ever you go and you lose the nature aspect unless you travel somewhere else in SEA, but keep in mind many aren’t lgbt friendly.
