Just found out that I'm expecting (1st trimester) but I'm not a confirmed staff yet. I'm worried I'll get laid off. What should I do?

My probation supposedly ends in early June but till date I've not received any confirmation. Supervisor had previously mentioned that it's not guaranteed either. I'm worried that I'll not be able to find another job due to my pregnancy if I'm being let go.

Hey, congrats! Being a parent is awesome stuff!
Now onto your very serious question: I believe the law is super clear on this. If you have worked for your employer for at least three months, you have "maternity protection". Employer cannot suka suka fire you before you give birth because they dont want to pay for maternity leave. In addition, they also CANNOT fire you while you are on maternity leave. Make sure you see a doctor to get some documentation that certifies that you are pregnant.

I’m currently 24 this year. Should I use the money to get a degree so that I’ll have a chance of getting a higher salary or use the money to invest instead? ?

I'm a fresh grad (class of 2020 wuhu), who hasn't landed a job. I'm getting really anxious. I've applied to over 100 jobs/traineeships but no good news yet. Any advice for job search in a recession?

Should I get a standalone policies such as CI and Disability if I'm on a budget? I have life insurance with rider that I can claim CI OR permanent disability... but I'm worried as my dependents grow

On ISP: Should I choose the 50% cheaper class A ward plan, or should I get myself insured against public hospitals altogether? I'm 24 and can comfortably afford either, and am ok with the coverages of both plans, just worried about inefficiency.?

My GF and I want to get married soon. Our combined salary is $3,800 after CPF. I'm worried that we cannot afford the wedding or the BTO, as her parents take 1k from her monthly. What should I do?
