An STJobs article about how 1 in 5 fresh graduates expect a $4,000 starting pay has been making its way around my Facebook feed this week. I could almost hear the sneers coming from my network of friends (i.e. us old bogies in our thirties). Check out some of the comments that I scraped together […]
The financial blogosphere buzzed with activity this week when Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) announced that they’ll be removing their famous “zero minimum commission” policy from their online trading platform.

Two important things happen in late April: First, it’s the only time of the year when I get to post this amazing meme: (Hands up if you totally rocked to N’Sync songs in secondary school.) Second, it’s also my birthday. The fact that I can memorise all the lyrics of N’Sync songs betrays my age:
