We're in SG, KL, Penang and Bangkok this September!
Y'all have also bought over 10,000 copies! Thank you ♡
Hi y’all!
It’s been a busy year, but we’re so glad to have had the opportunity to meet you in person around the region.
(It also blows our mind that our work has reached people beyond Singapore!)
We have a few more events to cap off the year:
September 12, Singapore | Hang out with TWS and Carousell!
Join us for a chill evening with the teams and co-founders of The Woke Salaryman & Carousell as we talk about all things lifestyle deflation.
We'll talk about the joys of buying and selling secondhand (with Carousell of course), and how to resist the lure of consumerism and go against lifestyle inflation.
Date: 12 September, Thursday
Time: 630pm - 9pm
Fees: A $5 token fee will be charged to cover food & drinks! We’ll also be giving a free (but slightly stained due to shipping and handling) plushie to each person that comes! In Carousell terms, condition is lightly used.
This will be the first time that we’re organising a community hangout with a partner company, and vibes will be a lot more chill too. So we’d love to meet y’all in person if you can make it!

(Some snippets from our recent book events!)
On this note - we’ve also hit 10,000 copies sold!
When we wrote this book, we never thought we’d hit this milestone and become ‘official’ best-selling authors. Much less have the opportunity to travel and meet all of y’all in person!
But this experience has really taught us that we are all more alike than we think.
Whether you’re based in Singapore or Bangkok, Millennials and Gen Z all have the same struggles - job competition is hard, wages and stagnation, housing prices are rising more and more, and the world is getting more complex than ever.
We are more than aware that reading our book (or our content) doesn’t solve your problems overnight. We are, after all, just a small team of five people writing comics for the internet.
That said, we hope it does give you some perspective and direction in this inherently unfair world we live in.
Thank you for reading this, and we look forward to seeing you.
Stay woke, salaryman.
If you’ve read this far, please consider subscribing to our email newsletter (yes, this Substack). We cannot offer you much but we can offer this:
We have newsletter-exclusive articles that won’t be posted anywhere else. We created these articles for people who want to go deeper into complex issues than the shorter-form content we typically have.
If you don’t have social media or don’t follow our Telegram channel, you can still get updates to all our content emailed directly to your inbox to read at your own time.
We promise not to spam your inbox (but Substack might, so update your notification settings).
Congratulations on 10k copies guys!!
