she's the eldest of 2 daugthers at home. her younger sister is mentally challenged, so its up to her to help support her parents.
we'll be using $1k of the baby bonus to buy a cow for her parents to rear in vn. my wife says it costs $10k to buy a farm land. so we save $3k from the baby bonus and save up to buy a land in a few years time. I am telling her that her parents have to send half of the profits back to sg every year.
then maybe we buy a bigger land a few more years down the road. that is if my name is included as farm land owner. that's the plan anyway, hopefully that can become an income stream for my family in sg.

try to sponsor your wife to go for English courses, if can go for a diploma/govt ite certifications. it would help for her future employments if she intends to work in sg. but importantly is English' which is first language in sg to get around in working society. since your child is on the way, probably you could hold back till your son is about 1yr+ ? whereby your wife can no need to look after your son, and she can go for your studies/upgrading.
just my suggestions.
up to you. haha. good luck
plan everything progressively, take a step at a time.
