I have a terrible habit of blogging about topics long after they go out of fashion. If I were a journalist, I’d probably get fired because I’d always be reporting news 3 weeks too late. So in true cheerfulegg style, we’re gonna talk about football this week (because the World Cup just ended. Whoops). First […]
Investing is controversial. It’s like health, religion, politics, CPF, or Chicken McNuggets sauce – Everyone has a strong opinion about which is the best. In fact, we will go to the ENDS OF THE EARTH to defend our opinions, which is why I think this post is gonna piss a lot of people off.A lot
One of the things I can’t stand about motivational blogs is that they’re always posting pictures of a person running on a beach, with a headline like “Run towards your dreams”.

Watching Kevin Spacey manipulate his way to political power in the U.S government is like watching a beautifully-crafted ballet (except that it
My Accounting 101 professor back in college had ginormous biceps. He’d flex them menacingly as he paced Huntsman Hall, and the fear of getting our heads crushed between his guns stopped my buddies and I from falling asleep during lectures. But even though I managed to stay awake most of the time, I still pretty
I used to hate opening my wallet. Every time I pulled out my wallet to pay for something, I’d feel this mild wave of stress wash over me. The source of my stress was the perennial question that stumps us all: Now, which credit card should I use? You might think that this is totally weird,
I still remember the most horrifying moment of my student life. It was 2010 and I was doing my final exam in Financial Economics. The exam had 6 questions – I only had to answer 4 of ‘em, and I would be home free with a Masters degree in my pocket, and an awesome summer
The past couple of days have been the equivalent of a 7pm Channel 8 boxing drama for personal finance geeks like me. In the Red corner we have Roy “Colourful Charts” Ngerng (how do you pronounce that name?) crying foul at how our CPF funds are being used by the “gahmen”. In the Blue corner
