S$15 × "a few" = 💀The "Next Month" Plan
You've been starting your savings "next month" since 2019. Bro. Sis. Next month is a myth, like the MRT never breaking down.
est. start date: neverThe Zombie Insurance Pile
Whole life from your JC friend in 2015, an ILP from your cousin in 2019, another because your colleague needed to hit target. Three policies later, you still can't explain what any of them cover.

Piano on Monday, swimming on Wednesday, coding club on Saturday, all so they can "find their interest." Only interest you're tracking now is the compound kind, on your credit card.

Signed up in 2017 to look good for a friend's wedding. You're not even invited anymore, but the gym GIRO still deducts every month like it's got a personal vendetta, and you haven't set foot in the place since Circuit Breaker.

Your Receipt

Seen the damage? The receipt is the easy part. A real MAS-licensed adviser can turn the roast into an actual plan. No 10-policy hard sell, no lecture. Come, we talk →

Ready when you are
How jialat are you, actually?
7 quick questions. Honest Singlish verdict + the money personality you can screenshot to the group chat. Zero email, zero account, zero catch.
The Sahur Syllabus
Money basics, explained like your smart friend, not your bank's chatbot. Screenshot these. Send to the group chat. Actually use them.
The 50/30/20 Rule
"Divide your pay like dividing the supper bill."
50% survival (rent, food, transport, bills), 30% fun (yes, some bubble tea allowed), 20% future-you (savings + investing). SG housing pricey, so tweak the split, but always pay future-you something.
RULE OF THUMB: Pay yourself first, on payday, before you "see" the money.
Emergency Fund
"Your 'wah lao kena retrench' cushion."
3 to 6 months of expenses, sitting bored in a high-interest savings account. Not in crypto. Not in your cousin's "confirm huat" scheme. Boring is the whole point. It's there so one bad month doesn't wreck you.
RULE OF THUMB: Monthly expenses × 3 to 6 = your can-sleep-at-night number.
CPF Ah, Not Gone One
"Gahmen force you to save, but got interest leh."
It hasn't disappeared. Think of it as your forced ang bao for housing, healthcare and old age, quietly earning more than most bank accounts do.
RULE OF THUMB: Check your CPF once a year. Understand it. It's literally your money.
Kill the 26% Monster
"Credit card debt is the final boss."
Unpaid credit card balances charge around 26% a year. No investment reliably beats that. So clear high-interest debt before you invest. Paying off 26% debt is a guaranteed 26% "return." Free win.
RULE OF THUMB: Order: emergency fund → kill toxic debt → then invest.
Time in Market > Timing Market
"Start small, start now, ignore the noise."
You don't need to be rich to start. You need to start to get rich. Invest a fixed amount monthly into something boring and diversified. Compound interest = your money making babies while you sleep. Waiting for the "perfect time" is the most expensive habit going.
RULE OF THUMB: Consistent > clever. Automate it and let time do the work.
Insurance = Umbrella
"Buy before it rain, not during."
Get basic coverage while you're young and it's cheap: hospitalisation (so one accident doesn't bankrupt you) and term life if people depend on you. Don't over-buy fancy plans you don't understand just because someone at a roadshow was very friendly.
RULE OF THUMB: Cover the catastrophes first. Understand what you buy, always.
