@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 eating too exp

BrainTeasers: Cross Fire 穿越火线

This is one of the best dramas that I have ever watched, especially since it is on esport. Initially, I wanted to watch it due to an esport drama, but it turned out to be such an excellent drama.  The drama is about 2 esport players for Crossfire game, XiaoFeng (Seven), a team leader for 1coin team in the year 2008 and another is XiaoBei (North), team leader for Continue team in the year 2019.  They somehow managed to contact each other through this game during an accident.

Cheapo2Max : Benefits Of Intermittent Fasting

Image from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting If food intake is the source of all your health problems, shouldn't reducing it be better off for you? —— Dickson Idlier Intermittent fasting is is an umbrella term for various meal timing schedules that cycle between voluntary fasting (or reduced calorie intake) and non-fasting over a given period. Methods of intermittent fasting include alternate-day fasting (ADF), periodic fasting, and daily time-restricted feeding. Why intermittent fasting? As food source is now more readily available to those who can afford it, such as Singapore, people now have an issue of obesity. This is due to the lifestyle, eating habits and choice of food. Since obesity is related to food, reducing intake of food is one of the natural solution to this problem. Intermittent fasting also has other benefits , such as: Weight Loss. The eating cycles allow people to control their appetite, eat less each day and track their eating habits better.
