We ran the numbers and chose NOT to prepay, and three years on it was the right call. The HDB loan is 2.6% but our CPF OA earns 2.5% risk-fr…
Push back, but do it smart. Variable bonus is discretionary so you can't demand it, but you CAN make your manager go to bat for you. I did t…
Practical prep list from a fellow non-sporty survivor: start the 2.4km run twice a week and aim just to finish without walking, do push-ups …
