  Hi there people, all I know about housing is that you have to be 35 and above to buy a HDB if you're not married. I don't want to marry, and I want to live alone, so I would like to know whether there are affordable options for me.

  Sorry I forgot to add that I'm 17 now, but I want to find possible housing options for when I'm in my 20s and 30s.

  Anything else besides renting a room? I want to buy a gaming setup similar to this:

  And I doubt the HDB owners would allow me to. Are there any private options or something?

  It is said that renting is cheaper than buying property . Whatever it is , start studying hard, hope to earn more money , save money for housing ...

  I agree renting is still the best while young.

  Rents for HDBs are steadily coming down (only SCs can now rent entire units, e.g. foreigners can rent rooms only) If you can't afford an entire unit yourself, I suggest taking a part-time/weekend job and start by renting together with 1 or 2 buddies; preferably with similar interest ^^ as yourself.

  I used to own two properties back in Sweden, one condo, and one landed. However "owning" didn't make myself or my marriage look any happier, haha (I'm 35 now by the way)

  Good luck

  So young and making plans. Good on you. Probably can rent and save till you are 35 before purchasing a HDB else saving up to get a small condo when property prices drop will also be a novel plan.

  Life in sg is cruel to singles as they want you to get married and increase population.

  Either rent or buy singles flat or longkang.

  aye... I thought singles must share flat if purchase from HDB, like 2 single persons co-own 1 flat...abit gay like that if both same gender.
