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?

For example: Blogs teach us "stay with parents to save rental, cook at home to save dining expenses but we are foreigner is can't relate that much. Parents have no asset in SG, landlord do not allow to cook at home.

I have no such blog, but I can understand the biggest costs in Singapore should be rental.

If you can, choose places that are less accessible (means you have to take a bus, MRT to reach most places), these places are a lot cheaper to rent.

Food-wise, you have hawker centres that are offering really cheap food options, can be cheaper than home-cooked meals too, to be honest.

The good news about Singapore- despite the higher expenses, this is a good place to earn and save :) Enjoy your stay in Singapore!

I manage to save up $25k and will be taking my degree, should i: 1. use it to pay tuition fees? 2. take up student loan (with interest that adds up) and invest this money instead (like REITs/ETFs etc)?

As a fresh grad with no student loans, I have 20% of my income set aside for emergency savings + savings for big ticket items, 30% for passive investment such as ETFs, Robo-Advisors. Is this ideal?

I’m a fresh grad polytechnic student that just landed on a job recently. Not sure how I should plan my finances. I tried reading online about various kinds of insurances and investments (the risks etc) Any guides/tips that I can follow as ref?

Student Loan vs Investment some quick b/g - 118k med sch student loan - Have savings to pay off ~55k before interest starts in 1 years' time; E fund intact - 63k left, interest was 5.25% Dec 19?

I'm a fresh grad and I'm taking my finances more seriously now as I'm adulting. What are some money habits that you'd give to a fresh grad as something I should know as I enter the "real world"?
