      Hi CW8888,

      Nice to see you again! Yep, it is possible although it looks far fetched for me. I hope people will continue to save and invest together with me and not lose hope! I know you have already reached it ;P

      Hi Weiqi,

      That's true. Rich does not just mean in financial terms, can be in terms of social life, personality... But most of us aspire to something that is easy to quantify so financially, a million dollars is still the goal.

      Happy Valentines' Day! :D

      Hi Jimmy,

      Totally agree with you. I think if you are a millionaire and people mistake you for a pauper, it must be embarrassing! But, everyone has their own way of living and indulgence. We most likely earn more than him so we can afford to spend more and save more... it's a choice. Ultimately, #YOLO, right?!

      Thanks for reading =)

I am not joking when I tell you a wedding is a hefty affair. Looking at the financial point of view, I would have opted for a simple buffet lunch but no, wedding is also a family affair.

They would want a lavish event to marry off their daughter proudly and to loudly announce to their friends and associates. This is also their day so I have to do it their way.

Guest post by Coftea (co-founder of SnackFirst ) alantankenghoe I have lost count of the number of times I have been told that Singaporeans who already own a HDB flat cannot buy another private property. I actually believed it until someone knowledgeable enlightened me. Being an aspiring HDB cum private property (or properties!) owner, getting the facts right on this subject is important. If a HDB owner can purchase another private property, what are the prerequisites and restrictions? After researching the truths online via official sources, I realised there are 3 major misconceptions which I hope I can provide some insights to.
