Hi, I am considering moving to HK from SG but my concerns are rent, schooling and pollution. I have 2 young kids (4.5 and 1.5) and my wife will be giving up her job so that we can move to HK. If offered 85k hkd all-in, is it going to be tough to get by esp without a second income? Is preschool ex and hard to get in too? Is the air going to be a issue, looking at living around the Tai Koo Shing area! Thanks in advance for all your advice.

Do the maths!
-housing say $25k (non HK and a small place)
-schooling (assume not local say ESF) $20-25k
-income tax $10k
-monthly utilities $5k
-other expenses ie clothing, flights home, etc $15k
So yes you can survive on $85k but live a life? No.
