From my experience, 38 is not too late, and your sales background is actually an asset in tech, think roles like sales engineering, customer…

Balloted five times over four years lah. Mature estates like Queenstown, Bishan, Kallang are basically impossible for first-timers unless yo…

Went through almost the same thing. First, keep everything in writing, WhatsApp and email are fine as evidence. Send a firm but polite writt…

Been retrenched at 47, came out the other side, so hear me out. First month, do these in order. One, sort the money: confirm your retrenchme…

Two kids, so I know this well. Two separate things. One, the Baby Bonus Cash Gift is paid out to you in instalments over the early years, st…

I was in the same boat and what worked was having one honest conversation with a clear ask. I told my boss exactly what I wanted: the manage…

The accrued interest thing is the part people don't understand until it's too late, so let me stress it. Every dollar of OA you use for the …

I took over a stall at 29 and I'll give you the completely unfiltered version. The romance dies on week one when you realise the day starts …

Been in this exact bind. Key points from experience: 1) ICT is a legal obligation, your employer cannot penalise, threaten, or dismiss you f…

Did the big banquet and honestly it mostly broke even after ang bao, so let me demystify the money first. For a hotel banquet in SG, guest a…

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…

Helped a friend through this, and the biggest thing I learned: you don't need to fix it, you need to stay. What worked: 1) show up consisten…

Two separate things here, both important. First, ACRA registration: if you're doing business under your own name exactly as per NRIC and it'…

The OA-to-SA transfer is genuinely powerful because of compounding, but the word "irreversible" is doing a lot of work in your question. Rul…

We had the same tension and honestly I had to let go of a lot of control, which was hard for me as a first-time parent. My realisation was t…

Best money we spent, and I was the skeptic. After a C-section I physically could not do night feeds, cook, and recover at the same time. Our…

I tried the subtle route first and when it didn't work, I had a calm direct chat with the colleague privately. I said I noticed our ideas ov…

From my experience, it depends on urgency and your budget. Polyclinics are subsidised and much cheaper, especially for citizens and PRs, but…

I took the JC route and went to uni, and while it worked out, I'll be honest that JC was academically intense and not everyone thrives in th…

Been in a stat board for 6 years. Honestly it's a lot more varied than people think, but it depends heavily on which agency and which divisi…

Regular JB-goer here. Driving is worth it ONLY if you plan to move around a lot in JB, malls, eateries spread out, maybe Desaru. Register yo…

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…
