Ran an online store on the side for three years while employed, and the pitfalls are mostly boring admin things people ignore until they bit…

I bought a car right after my first kid was born and honestly for a young family it changed our lives, but let me be clear about the real co…
Cai png is a trap because 'three veg one meat' quietly became 5-6 bucks. What actually cut my spend without misery: 1) cook rice in bulk (ri…

Mixed feelings after 5 cycles. The camaraderie is genuinely the best part, you reconnect with a bunch of guys you'd never otherwise see, and…
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…

Enlisted at 24 after my degree, same worry as you. Honest truth: the age gap becomes a non-issue after week one. The younger guys actually l…
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, …
