Here's how it actually works based on my own experience as a 30-something NSman. Each work year you get an IPPT window. If you don't pass IP…
I did both and here's the framework that made it click for me. CPF SA top-ups give you a guaranteed ~4% (risk-free) plus tax relief (up to $…
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…
I deliberately went slow on CPF top-ups in my early 30s and I don't regret it, different philosophy. My reasoning was that in my 30s I value…
I made the jump at 36 from a marketing role into a data analyst position, no CS degree, self-taught SQL and Python over about 14 months whil…
