3 Things Too Many Singaporeans Pay a Premium For Without Realizing It
Singaporeans complain a lot about not having enough money, high cost of living which believed that everyone was eating stale bread for dinner, with an old tv set of the 1980s as the only source of entertainment.
In fact, very middle-income Singaporeans live. Young, unmarried bmates generally don't have to worry about paying rent, which means that regardless of how much they spend, and their chances of finding themselves on the streets is zero.
That frees up a lot of disposable income for things that have a price premium card. However, many Singaporeans have the following products, I don't think people twice about the fact that they're paying a ton of money to them.
Apple products
Okay, I admit it, I'm a MacBook user. I got mine for free at pulling in related work d & d for years (true story). But I will admit that after the death of this computer, it will be very tempted to shell out big bucks on another Apple device, although these are some of the most expensive laptops in the market. Somehow, after 10 years of using Mac OS, I've become convinced that any Windows computer I buy will crash and burn or delay to creep within a year.
It is actually not true. Windows system has come a long way since the early 2000s, and my laptop with similar specs as mine now work just as fast, if not faster, without lags that used killer plague the system.
ASUS laptop with specs similar to the MacBook Pro can cost about 40 percent less. That hundred dollars for something that works just as well, no need to buy more expensive Office software.
Still, Singapore continues to grab Apple products, whether they be computers or cell phones or tablets, in spite of the fact that they're so expensive compared to equivalent of other brands. I have seen countless 12 year olds with $ 800 iPhone and ipads, although aksiaomi phone or Tablet HP will offer the same performance.
It is disturbing that many Singaporeans buying Apple products without bothering to search for alternatives. This means that many people don't even realize that they could be getting a Tablet PC or phone or PC similar to less than 30 to 60%. If you're going to pay more, at least to realize the truth.
Facial treatments
Admittedly, the hot and humid climate in Singapore is not the best environment for agriculture skin smooth and tight pores enjoy our friends in Japan and Korea and Northern China.
Indeed, the Singaporeans largely resigned themselves to the fact that they are going to be greasy skin for life. Much easier to suffer from going out when the only time you're not clogged pores with sebum and pollutants 5 mins after a shower twice a day-your.
Maybe this why do work well in beauty Singapore. Across the island, from the CBD and orchard to the accountant's stronghold strings like astersbring, fil, Adonis, where women and men both go for the face, so you attack this pimples mercilessly in the birth process on the pain scale.
These courses typically cost over $ 100, often creeping into the scope of only $ 200 for a basic facial. Do this every month, and you spend $ 2,400 a year for someone to wash your face and squeeze your Zits.
The problem with the perception that the face is essential for good skin health is that it often deters people from taking a course of action will actually help, and might not require monthly visits for the rest of your life-visit a dermatologist.
If you suffer from Acne outbreaks, and this probably helps more than any number of visits, and also less expensive, at about $ 100 a visit if you go to the "National Center for skin". Go once you start experiencing chronic skin problems, not after two years of trying to fix the problem with the face.
Leather goods Designer
While there are many Singaporeans who will agree to spend $ 300 cotton t shirt dumb when it comes to leather goods, a surprising number of people willing to splurge on that Louis Vuitton wallet or purse Prada.
Somehow, this is the scenario that leather goods and investment worth spending big bucks on. This is why so many Singaporeans, bmates not only paid well but also those in the ads, etc, I think it's perfectly reasonable to spend $ 700 on a portfolio, justifying their purchases with vague arguments about quality leather and workmanship.
The fact is that accessories like wallets and handbags, even those that are fairly durable, can be purchased relatively inexpensively. There are dozens of portfolios within the $ 30 to $ 100 in a way all stores.
But somehow, we've become accustomed to seeing our friends whip their Gucci/Chanel/Prada wallets that we've come to think that spends more than $ 500 on something not mentioned your monetary and corporate responsibility contains more than
