Late last year, a Reddit post featuring an infographic sparked a debate amongst Singaporeans about work-life balance and working culture here. The infographic measured the GDP per capita (money earned per person), then adjusted the value based on local cost of living and hours worked. To sum it up, it tells us:

• Which countries have the highest average wealth per person
• How far that wealth goes in terms of buying goods and services in those countries
• For the hours worked, who is the wealthiest?

  TL;DR, Singaporeans earn a lot of money, cost of living is not bad, but we are working too damn long with a shitty earnings rate  You can see that some countries rank differently depending on which measure you look at. For example, Singapore might look very wealthy with just GDP per capita. After accounting for the cost of living alone, Singapore actually jumps to 2nd place, which is not bad at all....
