Kitty: Actually, I am a very simple woman. I dont buy branded handbags (LV, Burberry etc), I dont really fancy jewellery. But, I occassionally splurge on 'cheap' clothing, shoes, handbags. I love travelling (Which I dont think would be a problem once a baby comes along - cos we would not get to travel). So.... I think it's easy for DH to afford my expenses.
EXCEPT!!!! For housing loan, which is still paying every month out of CPF. If not working, gotta fork out cash. That's the issue here.
And yeah, MATERNITY LEAVE also!($_$) ~ka-ching~
Agree with Ariel, most likely will work part time with small income stream and flexibility to care for baby.
