Can You Grow Your SRS Retirement Fund Without Being Taxed? Yes! [Repost First Dibs 119]
Can You Grow Your Retirement Fund Without Being Taxed? Yes! In Singapore, we follow a tiered tax system. When you make more, you get taxed more. Thus, many of us are thinking of ways to reduce our taxes (legally, of course). What if there is a way to reduce tax and also prepare for your retirement at the same time? The Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) does just that. What is the difference between contributing to SRS and CPF? Should I invest the money in my SRS? How is the money in SRS taxed?

Over 50% of people are willing to sacrifice career growth for their “happiness”! But isn't career growth a step towards a happiness filled future? Is taking a pay cut really going to make you happier or could it bring more unpredictable stress into your lives? Could it just be a temporary solution?

Work From ANYWHERE Should Be The Standard! [Wise and Shine 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Who else but Zat, head of content at RICE media, can give us a scoop on how inefficient and outdated the way ‘traditional’ corporations run, and how can employers and leaders capitalize on remote work.

Sustainability has become a fashionable idea, everything seems to need to be aligned with it, and sometimes it feels a little much. But did you realize that the wet market is already a very sustainable system? Where is the packaging? So it seems, maybe being sustainable is not always about moving forward and embracing new ideas but looking back and wondering, is there a way to live well without hurting our planet?
Today we focus on renovation. A big step forward for young couples in Singapore. 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]

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? ><
