I was talking to this friend of mine who recently talked to me about his insurance plans. He is a guy who is ahead of his peers in terms of planning his future. He got a savings plan from one of the major insurers in Singapore, saving about $200 a month. As a student with little income, $200 is quite a significant amount and naturally, he was curious to know the interest he …

As a student doing a degree in Singapore, what are the career prospects in the future? Most people will continue to work as an engineer while some signed on with the military. What about those who are not keen on engineering after enduring the 3 years of studying? I wonder if there will be career prospects or even entry level jobs to begin with. For me, I was always …

I have a few friends that don't believe in insurance. A very good example is my roommate. He is in his early 20s, has a girlfriend and doesn't have any plans to get married or have kids. He feels that if his time is up, he will gladly resign to his fate. The key thing is, don't you worry about your 'wife' or girlfriend? He claims she will take care of herself. That's his …

2012 is perhaps not a good year for investing as quoted by many financial institutions. Economic growth is low in Singapore and inflation has hit about 5%. Equities seem like it is not looking good for 2012. And it could force investors to look for other ways to diversify or strengthen their assets. As we know, prices of bonds will rise as price of equities drop, basically, …

Do you set aside a portion of your money and save it in your bank account? I am sure everybody does that! Is this the most effective way to get returns that meets our financial goals? I am not that sure about it. In Singapore, one of the widely used bank account is the POSB/DBS savings account. Most people would have one account while the more 'savvy' saver would have …

Insurance, it seems like a taboo thing in Singapore. People shun the moment they hear insurance. I am not even talking about their death. I don't understand why. It is such a need in their life yet they shun away from us who could educate them about financial planning! Yes, Some people buy insurance and they buy for the sake of buying. I do not think they know what they are …

University. The epitome of achievement and the so called pinnacle of education in Singapore. It was always the wish of a parent to see their children go to university. When their children graduate from university, it always held the family up high. Ever since I entered university, to be honest, I stopped reading up on finance and barely even have time for my job outside. …

Motivation. It's something we all need in our lives. It is a driving force to move ahead in your life. Without motivation, many of us would not be able to accomplish tasks that we thought was not possible. And I feel that when you do anything, you need something to motivate yourself so that you would do it well. Without motivation is like not having a purpose or aim in mind. …

It definitely feels good to come recurring income when you are a student. Well, I talked to a number of people regarding what they felt about the profession. Many negative and very few …

As you all know, there is a lot of discussion on the US debt ceiling being raised. I think that many people are concerned with this issue because it affects the whole world. Investors are turning to invest in gold and it shows that probably a massive global economic depression is well on the way? The coming economic crash caused by world debt This is not financial advice. …

I am almost getting my license as a financial adviser. I am expecting to start working as early as the end of this month. The last paper under MAS requirement that I have to take is Health Insurance, a 15 chapter textbook and 50 MCQs paper. Passing mark is 70%. It feels easy to pass but carelessness can cost you big time with so many answers being so similar. The next step …

The first experience of my university life in NTU was NTU Sports Camp. This camp is very different from the ones I have been through, the camp is very physically challenging and mentally draining as well. I didn't expect a camp to be this tiring and shagged, after all, my motive was to meet more people in university! So the camp ended but the seniors in camp would organize …

I recently bought a $0 ticket to a seminar from Groupon (I can't really say I bought it since it is $0). Many online coupon/deal providers have surfaced and helping the consumers save money! This was one of the deals that caught my eye. $0 for 3 Day Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar by T. Harv Eker at Success Resources (Worth $67) $0!??!? How could that be? So I decided to …

Forex trading is something relative new to me. I have been trading using MetaTrader 4 Demo Account to trade for quite some time now. Before this, I was like many other dude, trying to learn how to trade for fast cash. Fast and easy cash was never the case after I starting learning how to trade through an online resource. No doubt the content is dry and what you see are like …

Well, other than worrying about my allowances in university, I decided to source for a part time job that I would be able to sustain due to my interest. The insurance industry would probably be the 2nd option in my mind because being a trader would be my ultimate goal in the future, if it ever happens. It's going to be a busy month in July for me. Basically, it is because I …

I am at the transition period between National Service and being a student once again. It feels great to be studying again, although the course doesn't interest me much. Nevertheless, a degree is important because it serves as a back up plan. Another reason for me is that my parents wants me to graduate with a degree, perhaps it gives them the peace of mind. Other than …
