A Singaporean man shared on social media that he disagrees with his father's claim that children should pay 20% of their salary to the household once they start working. He expressed concerns about his father's lifestyle and health issues. In response, Reddit users in Singapore reported varying contributions to their parents, typically between 5% and 20% of their salaries. Some users felt pressured to give money, while others argued that no child should be obligated to pay their parents monthly. A separate post highlighted a 26-year-old woman feeling stuck living with her divorced father despite having a stable job and savings. She aims to buy a flat by age 35 but is currently focused on saving.
