I hit real burnout two years ago, the dread-every-morning kind. What genuinely helped, in order: 1) I saw a GP first, they can assess if it'…
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…
Sole breadwinner here too, so I hold more than the textbook 3 to 6 months, I keep 9 to 12 months of expenses because if I lose income the wh…
Family with two kids here, we crunched the numbers hard. Owning a mid-range car all-in (COE, depreciation, insurance, road tax, petrol, park…
The "accrued interest" thing scares people unnecessarily, let me demystify it. When you use CPF OA to pay for your flat, you must return tha…
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…
Long-time polyclinic and GP user, here is my rule of thumb. Polyclinic makes sense when: you need the subsidy (chronic meds, referrals to sp…

We went resale in a mature estate (Bishan) in 2024 and I don't regret it, even though we paid COV of about 30k on top. The math: BTO would h…
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…
