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 […]
So my girlfriend had an epiphany recently: She wants to buy a car. Not some boring old Toyota Camry, mind you (no offense to the Toyota Camry drivers reading this), but a sexy, sporty Mazda MX 5. Why now? Because she realized that she’ll only look cool driving a sports car while she’s still young.
I recently met up with Alvin and Jon from BigFatPurse.com (I know right, that’s a freakin’ awesome name) to talk about my hot-off-the-press ebook Automatic Investing: The No-Stress Guide to Index Investing in Singapore.

Happy Sunday! I’m pretty psyched because I’m featured in today’s edition of the Sunday Times, in an article about young investors. 🙂 First, a funny story about the article: I knew it was going to be published today, but I had absolutely no freakin’ idea how it was gonna turn out because I hadn’t seen
