    Malaysian Working in Singapore: My Experience

    September 21, 2023 /

    I’ve noticed an intriguing trend in my personal life over the past year – every few months or so, I hear of another Malaysian friend moving to Singapore.

This statistic truly underscores the scale of this migration: As of 2022, 1.13 million out of 1.86 million Malaysians who chose…

    Month in Review: August 2023

    September 5, 2023 /

    Every month, I track my spending and share them openly here. In my Month in Reviews, I go over notable (and often discretionary expenses) for the month and reflect on some key areas of life tied to money, either directly or indirectly: career, health, relationships and personal growth. Spending Breakdown When I wrote about taking my career break a couple of months ago, I talked about how I was going to downgrade my lifestyle so that I could stick to the Break budget I’ve set for myself.  It may have been a bit too idealistic because that didn’t actually happen in August.  In August I spent about $4,000, which was…

    How I Saved $100,000 By 30

    January 27, 2023 /

    A couple of months after celebrating my 30th birthday, I celebrated a financial milestone that I didn’t think I would achieve by that age – having $100,000 saved up. I feel simultaneously proud and self-conscious writing about this milestone. Proud because it’s a pretty damn good achievement in my books. On the other hand, self-conscious because it doesn’t feel like that big of a deal when so many others have gotten to this number (or higher) quicker than I have. Because if you’ve read enough personal finance articles, you’ll know that saving $100,000 by 30 isn’t a new concept, and I suppose my perception has been skewed from reading too…
