Raising a child in Singapore comes with significant financial considerations.

With the total cost of raising a child estimated at over $220,000 by the time they turn 18, many parents are left wondering how to navigate these expenses.

On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Marlina Kwok, Retirement Specialist, IPP Financial Advisers and Kelly Ang, Full-time mom and part-time freelance writer, to find out whether raising a child in Singapore is a luxury or not.
