Realistic range now is 10-20% for a lateral move, more if you're also stepping up in title or moving into a hotter function. I moved last ye…
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…
I ran a stall for two years and closed it, so here's the cautionary tale. My food was good, people liked it, but I couldn't make the numbers…
The accrued interest thing is the part people don't understand until it's too late, so let me stress it. Every dollar of OA you use for the …
Bought a resale last year, went through the COV drama. Few things that actually work: one, get your own valuation done first via HDB after y…
From my experience, always verify the person renting to you is the actual owner or an authorised agent, ask to see proof, because subletting…
HR perspective, and the honest nuanced answer, two years per role in your 20s and early 30s is broadly acceptable now, especially in tech an…
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…

Did exactly this at 33, left MOM after 7 years for a fintech startup at Mapletree Business City. First thing that hit me: no more clear repo…
You're not unreasonable at all, and honestly this conversation matters more than the flat. My husband and I split proportionally by income, …
We held off buying because of COE and instead use a mix of public transport, Grab and car-sharing, and it works for us. With two kids I unde…
I keep waiting and Grab-ing, and for us it mathematically wins by a mile. We spend maybe 400 a month on Grab and public transport combined, …
I tried the subtle route first and when it didn't work, I had a calm direct chat with the colleague privately. I said I noticed our ideas ov…
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…
