Cleared IPPT after years of failing, so I feel your pain. Real talk: the RT (RT/FCC) is honestly not as scary as the dread. It is a fixed nu…

Ten years into a 25-year HDB loan here. Honestly, day to day you don't feel it because our CPF OA covers most of the monthly installment, so…

I deliberately went slow on CPF top-ups in my early 30s and I don't regret it, different philosophy. My reasoning was that in my 30s I value…
