Say you’re a young, sexy, unmarried Singaporean with no commitments: no student debt, no mortgage, and earning a comfortable income at an awesome job. What’s the worst thing that could happen to you right now? No, it’s not that you might die (because you don’t have a family and kids to support, and your parents […]
