From my experience, the fix is documentation and quiet visibility, not confrontation. Start putting your ideas in writing before meetings: a…
Been an owner 8 years, two dogs. My honest math: insurance is worth it IF you'd struggle to fork out a sudden 3-5k for surgery, and it's mos…
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 actually tracked this for a year after selling our car. Owning realistically costs a lot monthly once you total COE amortised over 10 year…
