Inflation, rising costs etc.

Does it affect you or affect your decisions to cheong like before?

colins · #2 03-03-2008, 09:56 AM

Yes, esp taxi fares. The rest, seriously for cheonging not much difference. Unless the ktv or pub becomes more populated or the rental increase, the beer price also increase. That happened around tanjong pagar and boat quay a while back, but now gotten used to it liao.

Beer with alcohol level above 9% got tax slap too, so I avoid those now.

Definitely, more spent on other things means less on cheonging. Even I notice food centre prices are slowing being adjusted up. Some places the same bowl of noodle .... not enough to eat also ... even if prices the same .... I think just past year alone, must have spent more than one bonk on price increase liao ..

Property prices risen the most - u will need to save more to get a flat of the same size now. Oil and commodities prices risen much too and this has filtered down to end consumers now. The pinch is now a punch.

Haha, agree, but nowadays got less spending power, so I believe naturally something have to give, must be cheonging .... unless one only cheong once a month, then nothing much there to cut down on. But if cheong quite often, now, might have to cheong 1 less or something ...

I'm sure some of us might have cut down on 'entertainment' or go for cheaper alternatives these days.
To some, its "shoot liao then say" kind of mentality.

Actually i think if any service provider here can offer xx/60min/1shot in times like these will be good.
'Cause many of us pay for 2shots but only shoot once.

Satanna · #12 04-03-2008, 06:13 PM

As a full grown horny I can only say when the urge come we will still go one. Just maybe downgrade the quality a bit. If go for Cat 150, maybe now will go for Cat 80 or Cat 40. If go expensive HC like Dragon, now may go cheaper ones like Bugis.

But the ...ahem... "little brother" still need to staisfy one.
