I’m not going to talk about Trump. You’ve heard enough from the news, Facebook, the Simpsons, and all your friends who transformed into political analysts overnight. If you’re still disappointed / worried / depressed like many of my friends are, read this excellent post from Wait But Why. It’ll help put things in perspective. Also, it reminds us that […]
The crappy thing about the Internet is that it often sends you conflicting messages: On one hand, you’ve got articles that emphasise the value of “more”. Steve Jobs says, “Don’t settle.” A new study on LinkedIn proclaims, “Acquire multiple skills to rise to the top.” And if your full-time job isn’t enough, you should definitely start a side business.

Since last year, I’ve been fascinated by the wonderful world of travel hacking. I’m still a novice at this game, but after doing some research and optimising our spending this year, it paid off: My wife and I used the miles we earned to redeem a ticket on the fabled Singapore Airlines Suites – something
Note: This ISN’T a sponsored post. Sometimes I just like sharing cool stuff I use. Whenever my friends find out that I blog about money, they invariably come up to me and ask, “Sooooooo… which savings account is the best, ah?” Gah. Do all my friends think that I spend my weekends meticulously comparing bank interest rates? Most people
First, let’s get this out of the way: We all use Facebook on the toilet. Don’t even try to deny it – I know you’ve done it. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I had a friend whose family kept a stash of Archie comics on the toilet to help pass the time when they’re
