I had this exact situation and learned that bonus is discretionary unless your contract states otherwise. Check your employment letter and a…

Neighbour noise is horrible, been there. The realistic ladder: 1) keep a noise log (dates, times, type of noise) and record audio/video with…

Born and raised here, my go-to cheap weekend list that's actually good, not just "go park" filler: 1) The green corridors and connectors, th…

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…

From my experience, it depends on urgency and your budget. Polyclinics are subsidised and much cheaper, especially for citizens and PRs, but…

HDB dog owner here. The rules: one dog per HDB flat, and it must be an HDB-approved breed (there's an official list of small breeds like Shi…

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…

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…

Relax, at 40k a year you are nowhere near needing GST registration, so your friend scared you for nothing. GST registration is only compulso…

We took non-mature in Punggol back when it was still ulu and full of construction dust. First two years I complained non-stop, no proper cof…

We went resale precisely because we didn't want to rent and burn money for 4 years. Do the math properly: renting a decent flat is easily 2.…

I do the JB run roughly twice a month and I've tracked it properly for a year, so here's the honest math. Groceries and household stuff genu…

Mid-40s, used both my base credit and the mid-career top-up wisely, here is my take. The top-up (the bigger one for those 40 and above) is s…

Been exactly where you are, the Sunday night chest tightness, so first, that is real and you are not weak, that is your body waving a red fl…

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…

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…

I switched at 40 from supply chain into a BI analyst role via a CCP. Ya lah, the first year salary dropped maybe 15 percent and my ego also …

Stop relying on the meeting to get credit and control the paper trail instead. Concrete moves that worked for me with a credit-stealer: 1) S…

I've been through PSLE with two kids and the second time was much calmer because I stopped micromanaging. Kids can't focus when a parent is …

Realistic range now is 10-20% for a lateral move, more if you're also stepping up in title or moving into a hotter function. I moved last ye…

My advice: since none lock you in, just try the cheapest heavy-data option first (usually Simba on promo) with an eSIM so switching is insta…

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…

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…
