You're not unreasonable at all, and honestly this conversation matters more than the flat. My husband and I split proportionally by income, …
Cut through the guru noise, here's what actually paid me and people I know, realistically. 1) Skills-based freelancing, if you can design, w…
Married 6 years, my husband was the spender. What saved us was the "three pots" system. Joint account for shared stuff (rent, utilities, gro…
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…

I took the JC route and went to uni, and while it worked out, I'll be honest that JC was academically intense and not everyone thrives in th…
