I'm kind of in the same boat as the OP, but I'd be the boyfriend with the job. My girl and I can likely establish common-law marriage without too much of a fight (been living together for years, sharing bills, etc.), but (if the job comes through) there is a ring in her future anyway. Between an en...

At this point I've become comfortable with the fact that I'll likely end up paying around $2,500 a month for a decent condo with some amenities.

It's just a bit of a shock when you move from a fairly low-cost area in the US.

Right now, they're talking about possibly starting within 2-3 weeks...which isn't a whole lot of time to get myself sorted here in the stat...

Hey, thanks for the response. Yea, I know that HDB's are out of the question. Of course, I think that allowing dogs, but not housebroken indoor only cats is a bit weird, but hey...their country, their rules. No problem.

It's a full-time gig so I'd be picking up the stakes and hauling myself out there. Once I realized that this was a possibility, it was time to do some r...
