I just started freelancing and landed a huge project that will take 6 months. I'll receive an advance of 30k, and won't receive additional income until the project ends. How do I allocate my money?

Time for u to learn about finance management.. with no investment knowledge and little savings.. is best for u to evaluate the following too:

1) find a higher bank account with better interest rate. As u need to set a side some emergency funds that is liquid for u to pull out just in case of emergency(e.g. unexpected medical fee, etc)

2) have u bought ur insurance such as hospitalization and critical illness yet? Is best to buy some of this health related insurance.. especially u r a freelancer

3) start learning the basis of investment.. from what is bonds, reits, etf.. etc.. the last thing u want to do is invest in something that u don't know.. or just becos someone recommend u this investment product over the counter.. U can attend some free or cheap lessons offered by sgx, dbs vickers, etc..

Estimate how much you need for expenses over next 6 months then lock the rest in some account that is out of sight...
