Is it advisable to allocate our money to pay off debts (e.g education loan) or allocate it to our savings

Like every month have additional $300, and put as saving. Or to put this amount soley to clear off our debts

Depends on the cost of ur edu loan. If u are simply putting cash in instruments that generate less interest than ur loan, then it makes sense to pay down ur loan. Short of asking help from ur parents.

That being said, it is good to hv at least 3-6mths of ur expenses in bank for emergencies first.

You have just received a $10,000 gift. Do you pay off (parts of) your debts (e.g. home loans) or invest the money?

I have a $25K CPF education loan (2.5% ann int.) for my Uni fees. Over the years I saved $30K. Do I clear all the CPF loan with the money or invest them while doing monthly repayment to the CPF loan?

How do you juggle between saving up and clearing your debt? Should there be a benchmark before you send all your money into debt paying?

If I have enough to pay off my home loan, should I pay it off or use the money to invest elsewhere instead? Don't wanna have debts, but also read that it's dangerous to lock up cash in property...?

Is there any blog that talk about how fresh grad cope with personal finance (how to pay off student loan, how to save money, etc) for foreigners in a non-Singaporean perspective. thank you?
