I felt the exact same way and honestly what shifted things was separating the wedding from the marriage. We were stressing over a big banque…
We went resale and I don't regret it, but go in with eyes open. We wanted to live near my parents in a mature estate for childcare help, and…
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…

I actually tracked this for a year after selling our car. Owning realistically costs a lot monthly once you total COE amortised over 10 year…

Been through many reservist IPPTs from a desk-job body, here's the efficient approach for the 3 stations (push-ups, sit-ups, 2.4km run). Giv…
