Switched from banking ops to UX design at 34, now 38. Things I wish I knew: one, your savings runway matters more than your passion. I had 1…

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…

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

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…

Use both strategically, that's the real answer. For a simple acute thing, cough, flu, mild infection, a private GP is usually worth the extr…

I ran a noodle stall at a coffeeshop for three years before calling it quits, and the number one thing nobody tells you is the hours will de…

Still very doable if you know where to look, just avoid the touristy and CBD centres. My go-tos: economy rice with one meat two veg still la…

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 stayed an extra 8 months for a 4-month bonus once and I regret it, because I did the actual maths wrong. Yes the bonus was real money, but…

Married across race and religion, ten years now, so this is lived experience. It works, but the early family part takes patience, not confro…

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…

From my experience, the OA to SA transfer is powerful because SA earns 4 percent versus OA 2.5 percent, and compounded over 15 years that ga…
