Hello!

I personally feel that it is never too early to save for your retirement. Currently a uni student, my plan is to probably start saving for retirement once i manage to find a full time job post graduation.

With that said, while saving for retirement is important, we should always consider the stage of life that we are in when it comes to what we plan to do with our money.

I’m in my 20s, still studying, are there any value-adding part-time jobs in the banking sector? I've already started investing on STI ETF, and I'm looking into robo-advisors next. Should I enter in lump-sum or DCA? How should I take my next step?
