Crown,
the flat will be ready to move-in condition? then dun need do reno liao. but u need $$ for furniture and stuff..
i tink even if they take out 1k for the hse per mth oso no enough leh... cos additional ppl in the hse means additional 'kai-xiao' like paying more for utilities bills and groceries.. minor minor things that adds up..
work out a sum which u both dun need fork out cash lor. like loan for a longer period, then use CPF to cover. cos by the time ur baby is out, u need money.
next time u keep the things for him. then let him look for it himself, then he will learn how to keep himself..
i oso kept nagging at my hubby for not keeping his things, expecting me to keep lor. he will jus leave his mails on the dining table, accumulate till very messy, then i 'pek-chek', i go keep lor.. after that, he cant find his things then i will scold him say he dun wan to keep then when things go missing always find me..
