While it’s certainly possible to live a luxurious lifestyle in Singapore, especially if one has been lured abroad on a cushy expat package, many foreigners do not. And while the day-to-day costs of living in the Little Red Dot can get expensive, the lack of a top-tier salary doesn't mean one can't enjoy themselves or attain a high quality of life in Singapore.
There's something for everyone (and every budget) when it comes to having a good time in Singapore, and expats moving to the city-state will have no problem filling their schedules with things to do outside of school or work.
Conspicuous consumption, most obviously in the form of shopping and eating, is a Singapore norm, and features firmly in both local and expat lifestyles. Prepare to engage in both popular past times, and with plenty of places to partake in either activity, new arrivals won’t fret for lack of choice.
Otherwise, much time is devoted to the pursuit of life outdoors, despite the heat; parks and trails are packed on weekends and afternoons with people riding bikes, jogging and enjoying the weather.
Do keep in mind though that Singapore is very much a "work hard, play hard" culture, in every sense of the expression. So while the lifestyle can feel indulgent at times, it’s likely to be hard-earned.
