We went BTO and I'd do it again, but only because we had a place to stay while waiting. We stayed with my in-laws for the build period, whic…
We ran the numbers and chose NOT to prepay, and three years on it was the right call. The HDB loan is 2.6% but our CPF OA earns 2.5% risk-fr…
We kept things mostly separate for the first few years and it worked fine because we both earned similar and had no kids. But the moment we …
