Good Morning, Pockets


2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ is serving chaos with a side of confusion. Markets were soaring, then Trump’s tariff war crashed the party, and my brain’s begging for a timeout. So, here I am, dusting off my blog to make sense of my quest to financial freedom.

I’m no FIRE-at-30 Singaporean. I only got my money act together in my late 30s, after fully paying off my 4-room HDB flat. Growing up, all I heard was, “Invest in property, and you’ll be financially free!” So, I focused on owning a property. Then it hit me: “I’m still not financially free leh, what’s next?”

Thanks to finfluencers (why isn’t financial literacy taught in school?), I’m wiser now. The past two years? Less splurging, more saving. April 2025 brought some big life shifts I’m excited to scribble about.

If you’re a late starter too, don’t panic - our pockets can still get fat. Let's fill it up, one sunrise at a time.
