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…
First car surprised me with the recurring stuff, not the upfront. Things people underestimate: 1) parking, a season pass at home (HDB/condo)…
You generally cannot sell on the open market before MOP, full stop, that's the rule and there's no "penalty payment" workaround to sell earl…
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…
We had the same tension and honestly I had to let go of a lot of control, which was hard for me as a first-time parent. My realisation was t…
From my experience, timing is everything for a JB drive. Weekends are the worst, so if you must go on a weekend, cross super early, like bef…
When my mum turned 55 we learned a few things the hard way, so here's the practical version. At 55 the RA is formed and it holds the sum nee…

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…
