Hi friends,

We’re approaching the 2nd half of 2023 real soon - where has all the time gone? If you’ve been subscribed to us for a while, you’ll know the drill.

Here’s our low-risk list of where the Average Singaporean can consider putting your money at in June 2023:

  • Age: 30

  • Monthly gross salary (including employer + employee CPF contributions): $4,680

Where you can consider putting your emergency savings ($20,000) into:

Also, a #throwback to an old (but gold) post that we wrote in 2020.

These 10 revelations helped me rethink my finances in my 20s

  • Every $100k saved is one month not working

  • If you’re not wealthy, you might have to work for shitty people

  • Your day job isn’t the only way to make money

  • When you start from zero, building capital is more important than making the best investments

  • We live in Singapore. There’s no avoiding money in relationships.
