Did exactly this at 33, left MOM after 7 years for a fintech startup at Mapletree Business City. First thing that hit me: no more clear repo…
Switched to an MVNO two years ago and never looked back. The digital-only telcos like the ones riding on the big networks give you 100GB-plu…
We held off buying because of COE and instead use a mix of public transport, Grab and car-sharing, and it works for us. With two kids I unde…
Cleared RT twice, no drama, here's the deal. Failing IPPT means you're placed on the Remedial Training programme, you complete a set number …
After 8 years married, the setup that worked for us: a joint account for shared expenses (mortgage, utilities, groceries, kids later) that w…
We went resale in a mature estate (Bishan) in 2024 and I don't regret it, even though we paid COV of about 30k on top. The math: BTO would h…
My take might differ, I found it liberating rather than isolating, but I'm quite thick-skinned about what others think. Yes, aunties gave me…
Ran a noodle stall for three years, let me be brutally honest. The romance dies fast. You wake at 4am for prep, stand 12 hours in heat, and …
Document, document, document. I kept a timestamped log and short videos for two months. When it went to mediation, having concrete evidence …

I did poly (engineering) then got into local uni, so it's very doable if your GPA is good. The framing 'JC is faster' is true but faster isn…

Not unreasonable at all, 3 hours of daily commute is 15 hours a week of unpaid life, that's a real pay cut in time. But don't quit on emotio…
Ran a noodle stall in a coffeeshop for three years, and let me kill the romance with real numbers first. Rent in a decent coffeeshop can be …
Been through PSLE with two kids, one high-strung like yours. What helped most was me changing, not the kid. I stopped treating PSLE like lif…
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…
Renewed mine for 5 years last cycle, here is my logic. If your car is genuinely well maintained and you like it, renewing on the PQP (the av…
