Renewed mine for 5 years last cycle, here is my logic. If your car is genuinely well maintained and you like it, renewing on the PQP (the av…
My method is to look at the details. A good stall usually specialises in just one or two dishes rather than a huge menu, because focus means…
First car surprised me with the recurring stuff, not the upfront. Things people underestimate: 1) parking, a season pass at home (HDB/condo)…
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.…
