First car surprised me with the recurring stuff, not the upfront. Things people underestimate: 1) parking, a season pass at home (HDB/condo)…
Parent of two who went through PSLE, tuition is a tool, not a requirement. Diagnose before you spend. Look at his actual weak spots from sch…
Switched to an MVNO two years ago and never looked back. The digital-only telcos like the ones riding on the big networks give you 100GB-plu…
Went through almost the same thing. First, keep everything in writing, WhatsApp and email are fine as evidence. Send a firm but polite writt…
MediSave is not a general wallet, it has specific approved uses and withdrawal limits, that is by design so it lasts till old age. In real l…
I took over a stall at 29 and I'll give you the completely unfiltered version. The romance dies on week one when you realise the day starts …
Been through five reservist cycles now with kids, and the mental shift that helped me most was treating it as a forced two-week detox rather…
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…

My honest lesson, I let excitement rush me and I overbought. Got a nicer model than I needed and the depreciation plus running costs stretch…
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…
