Heartland Boy 2020 Stock Performance Review

heartland-boy-2020-stock-performance-review

The time has come for me to perform my stock investment portfolio review. This year, I am pleased to submit a good report card. I used XIRR (consisting of both realised and unrealised gains/loss) to track and measure my stock performance. In fact, it was my best report card after investing for 7 years. My […]

Download Google Pay To Transfer Money, Make Payment And Earn Cash Rewards

download-google-pay-to-transfer-money-make-payments-earn-cash-rewards

I consider myself pretty late to jump onto the Google Pay bandwagon (already launched in Singapore for some time), but as the saying goes, better late than never. That is because I just realised how effortless it was to earn cash rewards from Google Pay (‘G Pay’). Within a day of downloading the mobile app […]

This must be one of the most bewildering years that I have ever lived. For a start, I felt that it passed by too quickly. My mind feels that it is probably only September now. Perhaps, this is to account for the Circuit Breaker that took place when everything was just so new and yet […]

Real estate is a topic very close to my heart, to the extent that I even visit showflats as a hobby. This explains why I am more than happy to review the book “Behind the Scenes of the Property Market” by Vina Ip. The book is broken down into 5 short and easy to follow […]

What I Did This Year To Reduce My Income Tax

what-i-did-this-year-to-reduce-my-income-tax

I usually spring-clean my personal finances during the year-end period. One of the items on the agenda include taking the necessary actions this year to reduce my personal income tax for the next year. To my pleasant surprise, a move to a higher-paying job and the depletion of the parenthood tax rebates meant that I […]

It is December which is usually the holiday peak travel season for Singapore, except that there’s no overseas vacations this year due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, this should not discourage us from heading out to travel and explore more about our little island while aiding by social distancing measures. There is even more reason to […]

Syfe REIT+ Portfolio Review: Addressing A Gap In The Market

Since Singapore had its first Real Estate Investment Trust (‘REIT’) listing in 2002, it has done remarkably well in establishing itself as a REIT hub in Asia Pacific. Today, it has successfully attracted REITs with overseas assets to list on the Singapore Stock Exchange (‘SGX’). Success of the REIT sector can be attributed to its […]

Shocking 37% Increase In My Child’s Integrated Shield Plan Premium in 2 Years

Heartland Boy had a rude shock when he received the electronic invoice for his daughter’s private hospitalisation insurance. He noticed that premiums had gone up once again, making it a cumulative 37% increase since inception. What makes it worse is that this is before the projected rise in premiums for MediShield Life that may take […]
