Is having a LDR always so financially straining? My boyfriend is from Germany, and we can only meet 2-3 times a year. Is it worth keeping the relationship?

The expense to meet up is just so high. When we send gifts for each other's birthdays. We talk online, but because of the time difference, we don't have much of a common time. We aren't sure about the relationship's future, and sometimes I feel like I'm spending too much on this.

If it was me, I would leave the relationship. I'll make a stance at the beginning that a relationship long term investment - so it's either I move over or my partner comes over.

Thankfully, I met my husband briefly 3 days) during a work trip to Dubai. We kept in touch for 2 months, by then feelings grew from daily conversations - so he make the call, packed his bags, left his country and move to SG with two big duffel bags.

It was a struggle, as I had to finance him for 3 years while he tried getting jobs with a LTVP and now, he's gotten his PR.

Hitting our 6th year anniversary with 3 kids, we both knew we were each others' best investments.

No such thing as a permanent LDR. If you dont see distance coming closer eventually, not worth conti...

Do you think now is the time to invest on condo for staying and release it after 5 years. (unable to buy HDB now). Plan on staying SG for at MOST 5 years only.Think it will not be worth of renting 5 years. Any 2 cents? Thanks ?

I am currently 1 year into my first job and planning to propose by next year and get married in 2-3 years time. However, our BTO application have not been successful. What should I do?

Just started working for a year with ~$15k savings so far. How should I invest/mutiply my savings? Looking for a low risk investment/saving plans to save up for house in 2-3years time or so

What would be the recommended joint account with your partner? Planning to use this account for wedding/BTO/reno/kids education. Putting in ~$300 each a month. Probably in 2-3 years time we need to plan for wedding?
