Same wake-up call at 34. What worked for me was small sustainable swaps, not extremes. I switched from kopi to kopi-o kosong or teh-o kosong…

Still very doable if you know where to look, just avoid the touristy and CBD centres. My go-tos: economy rice with one meat two veg still la…

HR-side experience here, so let me demystify it. For fresh grads, yes you can negotiate, and no, a reasonable ask will almost never make the…

Let me give the cautionary but fair view. Owning a dog in an HDB is absolutely doable, many do it happily, but it's not for everyone and imp…

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…
