I fought mine through the Small Claims Tribunal and got most of it back, so yes it's winnable, but preparation is everything. My landlord tr…
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…
Controversial take, but I gave up my car entirely and switched to a mix of Grab, public transport and occasional car rental for family outin…
I was unfit and dreading it too, but honestly BMT was more manageable than I feared. If you're really out of shape you might be posted to a …
ORD-ed a while back, BMT feels huge before but it's very survivable. Physical prep matters most, start NOW: 1) build running base, aim to jo…
Ran the numbers properly before buying, so here's the framework. Total car cost = COE + OMV/price + road tax + insurance + parking (home + w…
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…
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 hit that exact wall two years ago, and the turning point was actually going to a GP and being honest, which got me a referral and a short …
Switched to SIM-only three years ago and never going back. Do the actual sum: a "free" phone on contract is baked into a higher monthly (eas…
I stopped trusting the viral lists and started exploring my own neighbourhood coffee shops and older hawker centres like the ones in mature …
For ~150 for two and 'feels special', my move is lunch sets at higher-end places, same kitchen, half the dinner price. Many atas restaurants…
Yes, the framework changed, cats are now allowed in HDB flats under a licensing scheme with a cap on the number per flat (there's a transiti…
Switched to an MVNO SIM-only plan two years ago, never looked back, but let me give the honest nuance. The MVNOs (the budget brands) actuall…
Practical prep list from a fellow non-sporty survivor: start the 2.4km run twice a week and aim just to finish without walking, do push-ups …
Still very doable if you know where to look, just avoid the touristy and CBD centres. My go-tos: economy rice with one meat two veg still la…
Been through it with two kids, and the honest answer is most of these are genuinely worth it and less admin than you fear, because a lot is …
I held out for years taking Grab and MRT everywhere, then my second kid came and everything changed. Lugging a stroller, a diaper bag and a …
Ran a small online biz through this. The core rule: GST registration is compulsory once your taxable turnover crosses the prescribed thresho…
Mid-40s, used both my base credit and the mid-career top-up wisely, here is my take. The top-up (the bigger one for those 40 and above) is s…
ABSD 20% is a huge upfront drag and it completely changes the math from the old days. On a $1.5M condo that's $300k in ABSD alone, on top of…
Went through this exact debate. We chose grandparents for the first year then infant care after, and honestly a hybrid worked best for us. W…
The unspoken rule: your ang bao should roughly cover your seat's cost (so the couple doesn't 'lose money' on you), scaled by venue and your …
