@另类生活方式: 新加坡独特地不消费者

这篇文章讨论了新加坡不消费者（FIS）与其他国家的不同之处。

不完全拒绝消费主义
与其他国家的自由主义者相比，不消费者在新加坡并没有完全拒绝由于法律和不同心态而产生的消费主义。不消费者在新加坡仍然必须支付诸如食物，住房和医疗等基本的人类需求。即使您可以找到过期的食物或蔬菜，不消费者在新加坡总体而言，像我一样，仍然会花钱在食物上，例如养殖牛奶饮料，参加社交聚会和我们喜欢的食物。

搭帐篷住在海滩，公园或任何公共场所都是违法的。为了在土地稀缺的新加坡提供庇护，我们住在政府组屋。即使在偿还了住房贷款之后，也存在日常性费用，例如水电费，税收等。

即使获得政府津贴，医疗服务也很昂贵。因此，不消费者在新加坡购买保险。

少工作
并非所有不消费者在新加坡都能停止工作。对于那些没有工作的人来说，我们依靠的是储蓄或投资收益。政府通过针对低收入新加坡人的计划提供额外的政府支持。大多数的不消费者在新加坡的有工作来支付账单或养家糊口，因此我们是部分的不消费者。

分享
在大多数国家/地区，但在不消费者在新加坡中，共享是很常见的。 FILIPOREAN PROJECT，由“新加坡F不消费者”创始人，科林.刘发起。不消费者在新加坡成员将垃圾箱中的潜水用品交给200名菲律宾家庭佣工。通常运费由他们或捐助者支付。这是新加坡最大的支持菲律宾穷人的非官方慈善机构。由不同地区组成的较小的共享组用whatsapp或Telegram应用程式来共享。

iSAVvy: Financial Independence — The Lows

Low on cash? What have you been spending on? Image from: Photo by cottonbro from Pexels Financial independence is essentially able to sustain your lifestyle with the amount of money you have without working. This is one of life’s most difficult problems everyone has and many are unable to overcome it. —— Dickson Idlier I am not a financial consultant. What I wrote here is purely my opinion. The road to my financial independence is essentially be low on debts and expenses and high in investments and assets. How to control your expenses and debts depends on what is essential to you. I prefer rejecting any instalments (debts) whenever possible and have a simple lifestyle. After these, then build up your savings, investments and assets. This is how I did without many details but I think it is the easiest to get started. Ways to keep a low debt and expenses: Food is essential but not all kinds of food. Try keeping food expenses low but not compromising on quality. Reduce ...

BrainTeasers: Most bizarre Find

When dumpster diving, you may find interesting stuff as you salvage through the green and blue trash bins and any items people left at the void decks. Here I will show you my most bazzar find. My most bazaar find is ... a Living 11-inch Freshwater Stingray . My bazzar find live stingray in my 3 ft aquarium The 11 inch freshwater stingray was found in a broken 3ft tank beside the rubbish chute and slightly hidden by some kids' clothes laid on top of the tank. (I suspect the owner doesn't want anyone to notice it) Initially, I was only interested in the kids' clothes until I noticed it inside. When I saw it breathing, it surprised me. I was wondering how can I rescue it. I thought of releasing it in any pond or canals, but none is nearby (luckily as it might be a bad thing to do so). Finally, I decided to bring it home. I used a kids top to hold the tail and put it into a basket that was lying nearby. I carried the basket to my home. Luckily, after the rough journey hom...

IdlierStories: Be Happy With What We Have

Positive Brain Facebook Group A Sage was passing through the capital city of the famous king. While he was walking, he noticed a single currency coin on the road. He picked it up. He was satisfied with his simple living and he had no use of that coin. So, he planned to donate it to the one who is in need of it. He strolled around the streets throughout the day but didn’t find anyone such. Finally, he reached the rest area and spent a night there. Next morning, he wakes up in the morning for his daily activities and sees that a king is going for his invasion of another state with his war ready army. When the king saw the sage standing, he ordered his army to be stopped. He came to the Sage and said, “Oh Great Sage, I am going to war to win another state so that my state can be expanded. So bless me to be victorious”. After thinking, Sage gave a single currency coin to the king! The king was confused and annoyed with this because what use he has for a single coin while he is already one ...
