Her approach is unusual in Singapore, where the question” Do you want to apply for a BTO flat with me” is not asked. is associated with a wedding plan.  ,
However, some people did eventually own their own home before regaining it due to bad luck.
Madam Nur, a 41-year-old executive who has been married for 16 times, moved in with her father-in-law three years ago after her mother-in-law’s departure.
Her father-in-law, then in his 70s, did not want to move or buy his four-room level. She and her husband moved in with him after the required sale period for Madam Nur’s apartment expired.
It was not an easy decision to make, she said.
” We had spent S$ 100, 000 on repairs, and it was a five-room system, so I truly loved that flat”, she said of her conjugal house.
” But as my father-in-law got older, we felt it was important to live with him so he would n’t be alone”.
She noted that most people want their personal location after relationship because it shows democracy, but every mother’s situation is different.  ,
” Some, like us, want to care for our one family. It’s also about never having worries about not spending enough time with his father, in my husband’s opinion.
Also, a 39-year-old interior designer who wanted to be known only as Ms Tey, lives with her father and family in a three-bedroom dual-key property system, so that her mom can take it easy in her golden years.
A dual-key unit has two separate living areas that are connected by a typical hall, giving the impression of two separate residences in one building.  ,
Her married mother, who was actually from Johor Bahru, worked as a sales professional in Singapore for more than 30 years before moving in with Ms. Tey in 2013.
” My mother used to work very late, and having a home in Singapore meant she was n’t late at night having to go back to JB.” I can take care of her and get assured of her well-being”, said Ms Tey, whose father died when she was younger.  ,
As a result, Ms Tey admitted, she and her partner did not get the chance to like a “newlywed time”. Ms. Tey and her now-retired family likewise had life distinctions, which required modifications because she did not want the 66-year-old to “feel like a client” in their 996 sq m home.
However, some people, like marketing director Jacelyn Phang, 34, and her father, 36, generate passive income from staying with their families.  ,
They live in her parents ‘ 1, 400 square foot condo and are currently renting it out for S$ 3, 000 per month.  ,
According to Ms. Phang, “our long-term goal is to accumulate enough savings to retire early and spend more time with our families rather than working so much.”  ,
