I do both but split it, and the logic that helped me was thinking about which bucket of money it is. My CPF SA top-up is my bond allocation,…
We ran the numbers and chose NOT to prepay, and three years on it was the right call. The HDB loan is 2.6% but our CPF OA earns 2.5% risk-fr…
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 …

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…
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…
We went BTO and I'd do it again, but only because we had a place to stay while waiting. We stayed with my in-laws for the build period, whic…
I've raised a small dog in my HDB flat for years and it's great, but go in prepared. Check the current approved breed list before you fall i…

Push back, but do it smart. Variable bonus is discretionary so you can't demand it, but you CAN make your manager go to bat for you. I did t…
Mixed feelings after 5 cycles. The camaraderie is genuinely the best part, you reconnect with a bunch of guys you'd never otherwise see, and…
My go-to reset is a day cycling the whole Coast-to-Coast trail or the Round Island Route stretches, then ending at a hidden coffeeshop for a…
HR manager here, and asking is normal, not entitled, most people just do it badly. What works: come with a business case, not a grievance. D…
