Singaporeans especially the young are largely contented. Note that this in my opinion from my own personal, possibly biased observation.

Firstly, let's talk cost of living. Yes, this is the number one grouse and sg is really an expensive city. But wages have gone up too. The typical starting salaries of grads is over $3000, and certain professions can start at over $4000.

There are truly exorbitant areas like orchard rd. But at the heartlands and even if you journey a bit away from the orchard area to md sultan, etc, prices are reasonable.

Home prices are more affordable these days, thanks in large part to the increased salaries as well as to a lesser extent the cooling measures. Fresh couples with just two yr work experience can easily afford a 4 room flat.

Jobs can be more easily secured by locals these days even though they are so many foreign people here. Gone are the days where you have to send out 50 resumes just to get one miserable response. Typical grads get multiple offers, some of them even before graduation.

To sum up, young Singaporeans don't really have that much to complain about these days and life is quite good on the whole
