In practice AWS (Annual Wage Supplement) and 13th month are the same thing, one extra month of basic salary paid usually in Dec. The naming …
Cut through the guru noise, here's what actually paid me and people I know, realistically. 1) Skills-based freelancing, if you can design, w…

We went resale in Bishan two years back, paid about 680k for a 4-room and yes it hurt compared to a BTO. But we moved in within 3 months, no…
