Depends entirely on your life stage and where you stay. When we had a newborn and stayed in a non-central area, the car was a lifesaver, no …
Dealt with this for my spouse's major hospitalisation. Practical reality, the system is well integrated, the hospital computes subsidy plus …
I keep waiting and Grab-ing, and for us it mathematically wins by a mile. We spend maybe 400 a month on Grab and public transport combined, …
Lived with in-laws for 3 years waiting for our flat, so I've been in the trenches. What kept the peace: first, your husband must be the one …
Don't panic and definitely don't send a desperate 'I'll take less' email immediately, that screams insecurity and weakens you before they ev…
Yes, the framework changed, cats are now allowed in HDB flats under a licensing scheme with a cap on the number per flat (there's a transiti…
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…
Switched to SIM-only three years ago and never going back. Do the actual sum: a "free" phone on contract is baked into a higher monthly (eas…
