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…
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…
Switched from Singtel to Circles.Life two years ago and it was one of my easier money-saving wins, cut my bill from 55 to about 20 a month f…

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…

From my experience, always verify the person renting to you is the actual owner or an authorised agent, ask to see proof, because subletting…
Push back, but do it smart. Variable bonus is discretionary so you can't demand it, but you CAN make your manager go to bat for you. I did t…
