GodFather of Finance

Like most people, my mum influenced my financial journey the most. She was really supportive in terms of financial decisions I make throughout my life and would even pay for me to learn those mistakes. Here are a few examples: 1) she was my first math teacher. A skill that personal finance depends a lot on. 2) she supported my first MLM product, know it was a scam. (Investing in Iraq dinar. Who does that?!) 3) she insisted that I open a CDP account while in university and handed me a bit of money to learn to invest. 4) she's a homemaker. And every single cent in her savings account is from scrimping on her own expenses. That taught me how to save better by observing some of her life habits. Also, the ladies in Seedly! Even more so for Xinyi and Cherie in the content team who share the same mission on helping Singaporeans make smarter financial decisions. Thanks for the constant teamwork and hardwork! You ladies rock!!
