My burnout came from tying my whole identity to my job. What shifted things was rebuilding a life outside work, even small, so the job stopp…
I deliberately went slow on CPF top-ups in my early 30s and I don't regret it, different philosophy. My reasoning was that in my 30s I value…
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…
ORD-ed a while back, BMT feels huge before but it's very survivable. Physical prep matters most, start NOW: 1) build running base, aim to jo…
Let me give the less rosy take. The savings are real on paper, but I stopped doing it regularly because the jam and the whole day it consume…
I've done both. MNC gives you a brand name that opens doors forever, plus proper processes you can learn and carry anywhere. SME gives you r…
Retrenched at 47, bounced back in five months, so it's possible but the game is different at our age. What actually moved the needle: networ…
