Designed for the decisions you are making now

Your biggest financial decisions don't happen at retirement.

This edition shifts the conversation earlier. Work & savings, debts, risks and investments are not four separate topics. They are interconnected decisions that shape your financial flexibility for years to come.

Work & Savings

Making the most of CPF and SRS as the foundation of your savings, and understanding how today's choices affect housing, healthcare and retirement.

Debts

Housing is the debt most Singaporeans take on. Understand affordability, CPF usage, BTO vs resale and the long-term trade-offs before you commit.

🛡️

Risks

Insurance and emergency funds: what protection you actually need, how much is enough, and avoiding gaps or overlaps.

📈

Investments

Think beyond savings: liquidity, risk and building wealth without sacrificing flexibility.

Your Most Important Financial Habit

Stretching the dollar: travelling the world on a shoestring.

A recurring theme in this workshop is avoiding the standard-of-living trap: the tendency for spending to quietly rise in step with income. If you spend less, you can save more, and that doesn't have to mean sacrificing your life goals. Jeshua Soh has put that principle into practice: travelling to 78 countries, including more than 50 during the pandemic, while keeping costs remarkably low. His trip was featured in The Straits Times.

You don't need to sacrifice your life goals to save more; it's about spending intentionally.
Flexible date/destination searches and booking local platforms to find cheaper fares.
Travelling light with just a cabin bag, and cooking own meals to control costs.
Using multi-currency cards and e-wallets to get better exchange rates on the road.

Questions

Before you register.

Who is this workshop for?
It is designed primarily for Singaporeans in their 20s and 30s who want a practical understanding of work & savings, debts, risks and investments. It is also relevant for financial advisers and anyone who wants to strengthen their financial knowledge.
Do I need financial knowledge beforehand?
No. The workshop starts from the fundamentals and uses practical Singapore examples. More experienced participants should also find value in the case studies and discussion.
Is CPF LIFE a major part of the workshop?
CPF LIFE and retirement planning are covered under Managing Work & Savings, but this edition deliberately places greater emphasis on the financial decisions that are more immediate for younger participants, especially debts and risk management.
Where do the course proceeds go?
100% of course proceeds from this special run will support Project Shelter for Hope, which works to provide safer roofs and rainwater harvesting systems for vulnerable families in rural Myanmar.
