Bought a resale last year, went through the COV drama. Few things that actually work: one, get your own valuation done first via HDB after y…

Regular JB-goer here. My timing rule: go super early, like leave home before dawn on a weekend, cross before the crowd wakes up, and come ba…

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…

Ran a noodle stall in a coffeeshop for three years, and let me kill the romance with real numbers first. Rent in a decent coffeeshop can be …

After getting retrenched and taking 5 months to find work, I now keep 9-12 months, not the textbook 3-6. Here's my reasoning and setup. In S…

Passed a few of these while holding a full-time job, so here is the realistic plan. Coding round: yes it is usually leetcode-style. You don'…

Did ours recently, so real numbers-ish. The big buckets: banquet (usually the biggest, hotel vs restaurant vs void deck changes everything),…

I moved to a SIM-only plan two years ago and never looked back, but do check your usage first. I was paying for way more data than I actuall…

We kept ours sane by separating what we wanted from what tradition demanded, then compromising. My parents wanted the big dinner for relativ…

Been contributing to SRS for years, here's the honest calculus. SRS is worth it in proportion to your marginal tax rate. If you're in a high…

I took over my family's stall, so let me be blunt: the romantic image is mostly a myth. The hours are brutal, we're at the market before daw…

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 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…
