We held off buying because of COE and instead use a mix of public transport, Grab and car-sharing, and it works for us. With two kids I unde…

I grew up in a one-room rental flat and I know this fear intimately. What helped me was first acknowledging that the anxiety came from a rea…

My take might differ, I found it liberating rather than isolating, but I'm quite thick-skinned about what others think. Yes, aunties gave me…

Did the shielding for my mother two years ago, so I know the mechanics. The idea: just before 55, you invest most of your SA money into a sh…

I ran a stall for two years and closed it, so here's the cautionary tale. My food was good, people liked it, but I couldn't make the numbers…

I hopped at 11 months once and nobody blinked. The trick is you don't make it a pattern. One short stint on your CV is fine, two or three ba…

Classic. Stop relying on the meeting to show your value, build a paper trail instead. Send project updates over email with senior people cc-…

5k gross means roughly 4k in hand after CPF, and honestly in Singapore that disappears fast. Let me break down mine when I was at that level…

Regular JB-goer, it's worth it IF you play the timing and logistics right, otherwise the jam eats all your savings in wasted hours. My hard-…

I'm a hawker, let me explain from the cost side. Everything I buy has gone up, chicken, rice, oil, vegetables, gas, packaging. When my ingre…

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…

Regular JB-goer here. Driving is worth it ONLY if you plan to move around a lot in JB, malls, eateries spread out, maybe Desaru. Register yo…

Took two months no-pay leave at the edge of a breakdown, and it probably saved my career, maybe more. Here's what I learned. First, see a do…

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…

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…

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…

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…
