Switched to an MVNO SIM-only plan two years ago, never looked back, but let me give the honest nuance. The MVNOs (the budget brands) actuall…
Relax, this happens to loads of NSmen and it's very manageable. What typically happens if you don't pass IPPT within your window: you'll be …
Depends on your cashflow and phone habits honestly. I do contracts because I like upgrading to the newest phone every couple of years and I'…
I ran a stall for two years and closed it, so here's the cautionary tale. My food was good, people liked it, but I couldn't make the numbers…
I fought mine through the Small Claims Tribunal and got most of it back, so yes it's winnable, but preparation is everything. My landlord tr…
I actually tracked this for a year after selling our car. Owning realistically costs a lot monthly once you total COE amortised over 10 year…
I'll be the voice for nuance from the hiring side. We still filter many roles by degree for efficiency, so lacking one closes doors, that's …
Nobody can time COE, I learned this the expensive way. It's a bidding system driven by quota and demand, and while quota is projected to inc…
Realistic range now is 10-20% for a lateral move, more if you're also stepping up in title or moving into a hotter function. I moved last ye…
We went the room-only route the whole two years to maximise savings for our flat, and for us it was the right call, but it takes the right s…

Bought at a high with a newborn, no regrets on the need, some regret on timing. Here's my honest take: COE is driven by quota supply and dem…
Yes, clawback clauses are generally enforceable in SG if clearly worded, this is a standard retention mechanism, not a trick. Read the exact…
I've done both. MNC gives you a brand name that opens doors forever, plus proper processes you can learn and carry anywhere. SME gives you r…
Went through this with an inconsiderate upstairs unit. First, for renovation noise, HDB has permitted renovation hours and noisy work is res…
We did restaurant after fighting over exactly this, and zero regrets. Honest breakdown from attending all three types: hotel = polished, sea…
Went through this exact debate. We chose grandparents for the first year then infant care after, and honestly a hybrid worked best for us. W…
Let me give the cautionary but fair view. Owning a dog in an HDB is absolutely doable, many do it happily, but it's not for everyone and imp…
Two kids here, maxed the CDA both times, zero regrets. Why it's worth it: the government dollar-for-dollar matches what you deposit up to a …
I took over my family's stall, so let me be blunt: the romantic image is mostly a myth. The hours are brutal, we're at the market before daw…
Yes you can buy out. Under the Employment Act, either party can terminate the contract by paying salary in lieu of notice for the unspent po…
