Examining the Survival of the Property Ladder in Singapore's Budget
Is the Singapore Dream still within reach? For generations, home ownership has been both an aspiration and investment strategy for Singaporeans but these days, many feel like the bar keeps getting raised. Between skyrocketing prices and tighter government policies, achieving that dream seems out of reach than ever before. On our latest episode, we’re bringing together experts: Prof Kwan Ok Lee, Associate Prof & Dean's Chair at NUS, and Nicholas Huang, real estate consultant to debate whether the traditional property ladder most Singaporeans grew up with is still viable. Can average workers realistically expect to upgrade from an HDB flat to a condo over time? What about larger goals like retiring comfortably on investment properties? Is that not feasible anymore? Hear the lively discussion on the realities of affordability, the challenges first-time buyers now face and how recent cooling measures may be reshaping the path to homeownership long-term. We also get candid insider perspectives on what barriers everyday Singaporeans now perceive and how policies could impact future generations. Tune in as we dissect whether homeownership aspirations are being fundamentally disrupted or if with some strategic manoeuvring, the Singapore Dream can still come true with a little patience and planning.

Something Better Is Waiting For You Outside Of Singapore [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 19 with Zat]
Should Singaporeans leave for greener pastures elsewhere? A lot of times when we’re going on with our daily 9-5 work, we feel underappreciated by colleagues, supervisors or managers.

Work From ANYWHERE Should Be The Standard! [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 18 with Zat]
In light of recent events and the growing trend towards remote work, the question of whether work from home should be mandatory is a topic of much debate. While there are certainly benefits to remote work, such as increased flexibility and reduced commuting time, there are also potential downsides, such as decreased social interaction and difficulty separating work and home life. During the pandemic when most of us were required to work remotely, we’ve come to realize that we dont really need to be in the office 9 hours a day just to get work done. So why isnt work from home a mandatory thing? Why are some companies still putting so much emphasis on being in the office when so much time and money can be saved from allowing some employees to work from home. Who else but Zat, head of content at RICE media, can give us a scoop on how inefficient and outdated the way ‘traditional’ corporations run, and how can employers and leaders capitalize on remote work. — Welcome to The Financial Coconut, your source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking possibilities.

While many are renovating, the 2 extremes are “this is my home, we must use the best” and “we just spent a lot on the home, maybe we want to avoid a renovation loan?”But is there a sweet spot between the 2 extremes that lets us live comfortably, sustainably and cost-friendly?

Wealth accumulation can be seriously impeded by Critical Illness [FD 185 Sponsored by FWD Singapore]
Many Singaporeans follow this path, work, save, invest, and accumulate. This is not the easiest path for many, we strive hard to do better at every turn, from being smarter shoppers, better money managers and even constantly up-skilling to be sexy in the labour market. The last thing we want is for our efforts to be thrown out. Critical illness is one such fear, it can readily empty our bank accounts. Hence many consider critical illness insurance as a risk management strategy that we just cannot avoid. BUT how do we move away from sob stories and actually think about CI Insurance? Where does it sit in our broader financial plan and how much coverage do we really need? Haven't we got enough? > Today's episode is sponsored by FWD Singapore and they are offering everyone 40% off all their CI products!

From Breadwinner to Caregiver: Life as a Stay-at-Home Dad [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 17 with Cliff]
Stay-at-home fathers are becoming more common in modern society. Being a stay-at-home father can be a rewarding but challenging experience. Many stay-at-home fathers report feeling fulfilled in their caregiving role and value the opportunity to spend more time with their children. However, some also report feeling isolated or stigmatized by societal expectations of traditional gender roles. Following the recent discussion of gender roles and caregiving during Singapore’s budget 2023 to support families and encourage more births, stay-at-home & working moms were the main characters during this discussion. But what about stay-at-home fathers? What drove them to becoming a stay home dad and the struggles and sacrifices that come with it. With us today is Cliff, a stay-at-home father of 2!

Investing No Longer A Solo Activity With Investing Communities [Chills 43 with Investing Note]

Is there really power in numbers, or will we fall into a case of monkey see, monkey do?

She did her runs my friends, learning from some of the best around, being certified by the likes of John C Maxwell and serving in many international associations across the world, in Hongkong, Australia, and Singapore to name a few. But before all these exciting new things, she started out coaching couples in their relationship. So today we are going to be hearing from someone that has lived in many parts of the world, someone that I believe has a lot to share with us about our theme for the month, Relationship and Money.
