Making decisions on property is not trivial, as they often have effects on our quality of life in ways that are not just material but also financial and emotional. Regardless of our experience levels in making decisions on our properties and homes, it helps to have an appreciation of what resources are involved, and how we can be resourceful about them. I hope you find the materials in this issue useful.

In today's rapidly ageing society, advance care planning and long-term care planning are emerging as critical considerations for ensuring a comfortable and secure future.

In the delicate balance between awe and envy lies an opportunity for growth. Awe opens our eyes to the beauty and possibilities around us, while envy stirs our desires for improvement. By using awe as a wellspring of inspiration and envy as a catalyst for positive change, we get to harness these emotions to fuel our ambitions, cultivate empathy, and create a brighter future for ourselves and others in various aspects of our lives.

As artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots like ChatGPT become ever more prevalent, AI’s potential to transform our lives and economy cannot be understated. With the increasing adoption of these technologies, they will not only transform the ways we use or consume information, but they are also poised to play a pivotal role in just about every aspect of our lives, including work, finance, and parenting. In this issue, we explore the nuances of AI and the possibilities it brings to our world.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

As we get back into the groove of work, our most important arsenals have to be our health and brains. After all, these are essential in allowing us to lead a functional and meaningful life.

Let us explore in this issue the various ways that help us protect and strengthen our overall health.

For many, the festive season is a time of food, celebrations, social interaction, and hype. Coupled with the continuous demands of work and life, such periods can sometimes leave us feeling drained, and some of us may even struggle to get a breather. In this issue, I have put together resources on how we can possibly wind down and benefit from more intentional quiet and less noise.

In this issue, we look at some trends and possible actions that can help us become more emotionally and financially resilient to not just ride out the challenges, but rise above them. I hope this gives us hope.

We live in three distinct timeframes - the Past, the Present, and the Future. Many times, we tend to live and make decisions based on what gives us immediate gratification, and often to our detriment. Despite not knowing what tomorrow will bring, planning ahead removes uncertainty and provides clarity to our lives. In this issue, I have included articles that I hope will inspire you to take actions that your future self will thank you for.

Many of us lead busy and stressful lives. Even when we may be caught up meeting deadlines, sprinting towards our next goals, or looking after our families, we cannot neglect taking appropriate breaks for our well-being. While it may feel counter-intuitive to do so, sometimes the best thing is simply to step away from the four concrete walls to go for a walk outdoors. It refreshes the mind, body and soul, and is beneficial for our health and creativity. So let's lace up our trainers and walk our stresses away.

In an environment of rising inflation and uncertainties in global geo-political climate, almost no one is spared from the economic consequences of the day. It is therefore more important than ever to be intentional and mindful in how we manage our finances in our daily living. Here, I have put together some resources which you can tap on to help you gain a better insight on how you can be more savvy with your money.

Every one is different, and differences in opinions, interests, backgrounds and personalities tend to come with conflicts. Whether is it our co-workers, friends, family members or even our partners, disputes are not only common, but they're natural and sometimes inevitable. The question is, while such conflicts arise, how do we navigate them? Do we attempt to work through issues amicably with others, or do we allow our egos and emotions to rear its ugly head? Today, we look at practical tips on how we can manage ourselves and relationships in more mature ways.

As humans, the pursuit of change and progress is something that is innate to every one of us. Like it or not, there will always be things in life that we hope could be a little different, a little better in the way that daily situations & events turn out. It could be in the way we think, speak, or the way we handle everything from our finances to our relationships with others. We seek to become better -- and we should. As we strive to continuously exceed our potential, we rise above all previous versions of ourselves and grow stronger. In this issue, we look at some ways in which we can embrace a better self and an even better future.

In life, there are days and moments where everything we do does not feel enough, or face situations that are beyond our control. A common response to such instances is to doubt ourselves and our abilities, and that is a very normal and human thing to do. But the effect of self-doubt can cut both ways: It can either spur us to achieve our goals and thereby boost our confidence levels, or cause us to feel entirely powerless and paralysed. Fortunately, whether we allow it to work for or against us is mostly up to us. In this issue, we will explore the ways in which we can harness self-doubt to build confidence -- one step at a time.

Statistically, most people live till an average age of 80 years. Although this number varies across cultures and nations, we cannot deny that life is still all too fleetingly short. 80 years a lifetime translates to 80 summers and 80 winters - to love, laugh, live, and make the most of our time on this earth. Far too often, when faced with our mortality, we look back at our lives and think of all the things that could have been different. Regret may sometimes be inevitable, but it is still possible to live an unlimited life with the limited time that we have. In this issue, we look at some of the ways we can do so.

For the past years, given the pandemic and restrictions, many of us were forced to re-evaluate how to plan and book trips for holidays, or consider whether we should even be planning for any travel at all. Now, as borders are opening up, we have reached a stage where many of us are ready to start traveling again and make vacation plans once more. The catch, though, is that traveling will likely continue to be complicated as new variants emerge. How then do we plan for travel? In this issue, we explore this matter in more depth.

Life can be unpredictable with obstacles, making it sometimes difficult to stay afloat. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, stress from work, or financial woes, everyone faces challenges and does at some point, struggle with remaining optimistic or hopeful. Nonetheless, it is still important to maintain positivity to keep us going; by finding the good in the bad, and being the light in the darkness. For this issue, let us explore on what being positive means & how we can harness it in ways that truly benefit our lives.

As humans, we have an innate need for connection and approval from others. Often, we make an effort to gain validation and this is natural. Yet, in our world today, this need for others’ approval becomes magnified; as many of us are constantly plugged in on social media, we tend to get caught up in the pursuit of “likes”, “shares”, “follows” & engagement. These can have implications on our mental well-being and happiness. Through this issue, I hope that we can be more aware of the impacts & risks associated with excessive use of social media, and what we can do about it so that we can live out our best lives.

It is a season of feasting, socialising and spending time with our family and friends. Amidst the bustle of festive preparations and joviality, let us not forget to take care of our well-being even as we celebrate this time of wealth, health and happiness. Stay safe, savvy and prosper!

By this time, we would have endured quite a long period of the COVID-19 pandemic and many things have changed. Collectively, we have adapted to new ways of living, working and socializing. While there is no telling of when this pandemic will truly “end”, one thing’s for sure: Life goes on. The best we can do is to continue to look towards the future and live out the best we can. As we head into a new year, here are some predictions and trends we can look forward to.

In times of uncertainty, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. With the COVID-19 outbreak, we are faced with the challenge of adapting life around the virus and navigating intense market volatility. This leaves many of us feeling anxious and even disempowered.

Confucius, the Chinese philosopher, left us with these words to contemplate: The man who asks a question is a fool for a minute: the man who does not ask is a fool for life. As the year winds down, it is time to reflect on some popular and widely - accepted beliefs and misconceptions that we may hold that do not serve us in achieving our goals and desires. Today, we look at debunking some of these misconceptions to expand our thinking and explore new perspectives and horizons.

In meeting the demands of work and every day life, many of us can feel compelled to do all things at once, and may become overwhelmed or less effective as a result. To counter this, it is worth taking a moment to adjust our pace; to give ourselves the space to practice taking one step at a time in the ways we perform our tasks and how we manage our minds & emotions.

As human beings, we are a culmination of our environment, decisions, behaviours and habits. It is worth giving thought to how we live our lives; taking a step back to reflect on some of our own less-than-ideal tendencies and ponder about how we can mitigate or improve upon them. Here are some resources that I hope can help us foster habits and patterns that can create an upward cycle for ourselves over time.

In a world where more of us are increasingly working remotely, the issues of exhaustion, burnout and digital fatigue have become more pronounced in recent times. The implications on mental health and quality of life are real. Here are insights and resources that I hope can help us better understand the nature of the burnout that we may experiencing. More importantly, we can learn to manage, uplift ourselves and also the people around us.

Leadership is the act of guiding a team or individual to achieve a goal through direction and motivation -- and there is a leader in all of us. This issue contains insightful resources and pointers that touch on the various under-talked about but important aspects of leadership. I hope this inspires us to not just exercise good leadership in our daily lives as individuals and organisations, but more importantly, help us get through and thrive even in difficult times.

As our personal lives get increasingly intertwined with our work in this season, it becomes more important than ever to find ways to devote our energies to become more effective & productive as individuals. Here, I'd love to share with you on some resources and powerful ideas on how we can not only become more productive, but also make our work & daily life more meaningful in the process.

What does it mean to lead a good life? The meaning of a good life, or life for that matter, is subjective. But there are some evergreen truths and wisdoms that we can all live by that help us gain the most out of life even through obstacles and challenges. In this issue, I have put together for you a series of insights, tips & advice by some of the best thinkers throughout history on how to live out a good life. I hope these resonate with you.

Dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honour or respect by virtue of being human, and every person has an intrinsic need to feel valued and needed. Yet, in our world, there is often a gap between the ideals and realities of how dignity is accorded to individuals across age, gender, social statuses and financial positions. In this issue, I'd like to bring attention to the topic of dignity, and the ways which we can protect & honour the dignity of others and ourselves.

Women have long played a huge part in our society and economy. When it comes to uplifting women, the work extends beyond just international women's day or month. In fact, it requires continuous effort from not just leaders, but also every day folks like us to recognise and appreciate the great potential of women in our lives. In this issue, I'd like to share insights on how we can be enablers of women's progress while staying aware of the realities and struggles they may face. I hope this helps us in empowering the women and girls in our midst.

When was the last time you received kindness from somebody? When was the last time you extended an act of kindness to someone else, and to what end? As it turns out, there can be tremendous merits and outcomes in paying forward a kindness received with a good deed to somebody else, especially when done out of gratitude. The concept of "Paying It Forward" is nothing new, but in our world, I believe we could do with more compassion and selflessness as it brings out the best in us.

As we begin a fresh year, it is a good idea to not just evaluate ourselves based on the previous year on how we have been managing our lives, but also to find out ways to become more productive as we move along. In this issue, I'd like to share with you some powerful ideas on productivity and how we can make the best of our resources, time, energy and capabilities. Let's do this!

In the words of Poet Ali in his TED Talk, "Every language we learn is a portal by which we can access another language"; the more we know, the more we can speak. To round off the year, I'd like us to take a moment to learn new concepts, stories and ways of seeking and connecting, which will empower us to adapt to the needs of others & ourselves in the way we relate, love, heal, and see possibilities. I hope this inspires you.

In a year where many of us are affected and perhaps feel powerless over our incomes amidst a pandemic, it is a good time to take stock of our financial health and confront our feelings about them & the way with deal with them. Whether we are young, middle-aged or senior, here are some important principles & practical tips on money management that we can fall back on which can go a long way into helping us optimise our finances and become financially wiser.

All of us would have people around us that we learn from in our lives. And people whom we in turn teach and need to be accountable to at some point - as students, working adults or parents. The better we are at relating and leading others into growth, the better we become as individuals. In this issue, I hope we can draw some lessons and wisdom from these materials that can help us cultivate values and cultures that we want in our lives and lift us up.

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

The world as we know it has changed for good on pretty much every level - from our lifestyles, to habits, to incomes and economy. As we navigate our way and find our place in trying times, it is important to stay grounded and keep the faith as we focus on seeing and creating opportunities, solutions & meaning. While there are no quick fixes in times like these, there's still a space for us to find ways to improve and cope better in our lives. I'd like to share them with you in this issue. Let's keep our heads up in choosing to persist in hope & good thoughts, and I believe we will emerge stronger than before.

As they dedicate their love and lives to their households and make constant sacrifices for their family’s & children’s well-being, mothers never retire. For all these, moms deserve more thoughts besides during Mother’s Day. But should mothers also think about planning their own retirement — financially speaking? In this issue, as we give tributes to all mothers, we would also like to give thoughts to a mother’s financial freedom. Mothers deserve a worry-free retirement as well.

Albert Einstein said, "Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it earns it. He who doesn't, pays it."

Today's phone in our pocket has 100,000 times the power of the computer that landed man on the moon 50 years ago. Our world is evolving at breakneck speed today. The World Economic Forum projected that more new jobs will be created compared to the ones lost. Uncertainty remains about what these new jobs would be. But the time to change our approach to learning new skills has come. The time is now. The 4th Industrial Revolution has begun.

There are many new things to deal with at this time while we are being isolated from life-as-usual. A new lifestyle, a new future and something that can be quite subtle - a new kind of burnout. It should do us well to be aware about this so we can learn to disengage when we need to. I wish you and your loved ones good health and may you continue to stay safe!

Amidst a pandemic, the profound impact & discomfort of loss or the prospect of loss is felt almost universally. We may find ourselves and even those we care about feeling anxious & restless, which makes it challenging as we find ways to adjust not just physically, but also mentally & emotionally. At this time, emotional support for one another becomes ever more essential. Here, I'd love to share with you insights that can help us have a deeper understanding on the complex emotions that we may be dealing with, & the ways in which we can provide meaningful social support in our daily interactions through being present & holding space for others.

What the eyes cannot see is bringing countries to their knees as we write. The full impact of Covid19 is still unknown. It has ushered in a new reality for the World.

Here are some good reads that I believe can help us rethink this new future and its possibilities.

When the going gets rough, it can at times be easy to lose sight of what we set out to attain in our lives, be it in our personal endeavours, work or finances. The process of going & pushing through such situations may not be most comfortable, but persevering and talking about how to handle them is necessary. These are perspectives I found useful and inspiring. I hope this gives you hope.

In many ways, relationships are key to our well-being, as trusting, fulfilling relationships lay the foundation for our emotional health and security. But to work through relationships and trust matters aren't always linear or clean - they can be messy and raw. Here are some articles that I found incredibly valuable that enrich us in our personal and professional lives.

Change is hard. To force change is harder. They usually don't last. Perspectives however, are easier to accept. They change our minds and maybe that's what we need more than change itself. I hope you enjoy these articles.

There's a man in Singapore, that every time he concludes a business deal, he would go buy a plant and plant it somewhere. It's a simple way of giving back. He was also able to disengage and be with himself while doing something meaningful, albeit how simple it was. In this issue are some more examples of such life's lesson that we can benefit from. All we need, is to just take some time, slow down and breathe in the fresh air.

There are just too many things that we know to be good for us, but have not yet become a part of us. Applying wise financial habits may be one of them.

I hope some of these thoughts will begin to be a blessing in your life. Cheers.

In case you missed the news, besides the big 3 - US, Russia & China, tiny Singapore would be the next to send a human into Space using a helium Stratospheric balloon capable of lifting an SUV. This is a 5 years arduous journey filled with many inspiring stories. A Visionary who saw the possibilities, followed by 150 applicants to be Singapore's first Astronaut, and finally an extraordinary individual to make the trip, laying his life on the line. Yet his project isn't about Space. It's about creating a better mental model for Singaporeans - that with the heart, mind and grit, we can do great things. Enjoy this historic moment.

Or rather, this issue is about learning the secrets of being interesting. Even calling it a secret is a little too much.

Research seems to point to the fact that those who engages in deeper conversations with others are happier people. This is what I call a happy finding. It levels with what makes us human. We speak, we listen, we feel, we learn, we take and we give. And deeper conversations allow us to lift each other up.

In the last issue, we discussed how robots will change our lives in the future. It has become increasingly important for us to keep our minds on the ball, stay sharp and stay progressive. If half the jobs in 2020 are yet to be known to us, how can we prepare ourselves and our children today? To face a fast changing future, we need to first understand it. We need to try and take a peek into this future and start to embrace change.

We have come to a very unique juncture in time, where we are transitioning into the 4th industrial revolution.

From a parent to a child, between friends and professionally in the workplace - there's something special about the role of story telling.

I hope the following articles will help you get started in this interesting journey of learning and exploration.

It's been a while since the subject of Retirement was discussed. In this issue's video, it's quite interesting to see how children have different ideas about Retirement. I'm sure all of us have our ideas as well. Yet life can mercilessly erode these dreams. But not if we are really serious about them. So how serious is your retirement dream?

The future seems to come at us at a faster pace than before. It brings along with it many questions. Will automation take over our jobs? What new jobs will be created? And which existing ones will be obsolete? How can we survive? Yet some things don't change. Understanding the things that will change and those that won't can help us carve out a better future.

Most of us find it hard to change even when we know we need to. If only it's as easy as a walk in the park. But once in a while, a certain change of perspective is all it takes. Hopefully, today can be one of those time for you. We can gain some insights and wisdom from these articles that are worth sharing.

Do we need to get better at time management? Or do we need to instead think about Time itself? More specifically, what it means to us - with the very limited time that we have. The answer would be different for each of us. But I'm rather certain that taking time to ponder about Time itself can be a fruitful thing to do.

Testimonials & Referral Notes

Genuine financial advisor n Understand my needs

I met Rachel during one of my breaks just outside Buona Vista, where she was conducting a roadshow. Her cheerful and bubbly personality captivated me, making me want to learn more about what she had to offer. Normally, I would walk away when approached, but not this time.

Rachel enlightened me about Prudential's offerings, schemes, and plans. She explained how to plan for my insurance and what to do in case of an emergency. Her outgoing personality made it very easy to interact with her, and her explanations were very patient. You can genuinely tell she is trying to help rather than just sell.

Rachel piqued my interest in discovering what I can do to invest in yourself for the future. I highly recommend her; you definitely won't be disappointed. She is informative, warm, and genuine. With my new knowledge, I hope to return to Prudential when I am older. It's a 10/10 experience with her!

Shen Wei, IT Engineer

She painstakingly takes time to clarify to me clearly whenever I have question to her. She is helpful and resourceful, willing to find out all the information and get back to me as promised.

She earned my trust after my claim!

I met Rachel while walking around in Jurong point. She approached me in a friendly manner cause she was doing roadshow there. At first i was hesitant but after hearing what she had to share i learnt more about how to plan for my finances.
This allowed me to learn more about how to plan for my finance and even what to do if something were to happen to me.
I rate her 10/10 as when explaining she is very patient and you can really tell that she is really trying to help, instead of just trying to sell.
When trying to claim back the money i spent going to A&E and the follow-ups, she made sure to guide me step-by-step as I have never done this before. Making sure all my claims add up to not shortchange me.
I really appreciated it. I would love to recommend to friends and family because after this incident i feel like i can trust what she is capable of.

I feel much secure after her explanation.

Maziah, Operator

10/10 Best Agent!

I met Rachel in Sengkang way back to September 2023.
She treats you well and important not only as a client but as friend that care so much for your well being. She always speaks professionally and happy. I am foreigner and holding E Pass so she share with me what’s the protection I can do in Singapore. During our discussion, I learned that investing in Pru life is not expenses but it is a need, hospitalization and medication now is expensive and life is so fragile and should not taken for granted. I would say she is the best agent 10/10 rate and I highly recommend.

Jordan Mercado, IT Manager

大力推荐Rachel!

Rachel是一个专业、有耐心又有爱心的财务顾问。我最行赏她的地方除了她办事效率高以外，就是她非常有同理心。前一阵，我经济上遇到难题，她不但介绍我做好的保单，她更是安慰我，鼓励我坚强，这让我很感动。
她拥有一颗同理心和爱心，相信她所有客户的财务规划在她引导下，一定没问题。我真的很感谢她教我财务规划的重要性，也教会了我助人为快乐之本的道理。对我而言，她是财务顾问，更是一个很贴心的大姐姐。
我很庆幸在Roadshow遇到她。我相信，接下来，除了我以外，所有在她细心帮助的客户下，她就是我们唯一一个财务顾问。我强力推荐大家，如若要找财务顾问，二话不说，Rachel是你们的首选哦（我不是在打广告，而是说真的）

I would definitely recommend to my friends and family as i trust Rachel knowledge and ability to help those who in needs.

Bernad Goh, Cabin Crew

很细心又聪明体贴的女生！5星好评！

我在一个牛车水roadshow 认识慧婷小姐的，当下我刚刚放工去买买东西。她就过来问我关于住院保险的，因为市场上的改变政府也鼓励买这个佳院保险。
她也跟我说了很多东西和详细的资料，我觉得真的不错哦对我也很好，而且有政府津贴medisave,帮我减轻了负担，因为我也还有妈妈和其他负担，她的帮忙就免了我以后的担忧,医药住院那些．
买了这份住院保险后，也让我觉得很安心，放心地工作。我以为我那么大年纪还买不到的。
她跟我很详细地讲解后，我一有不明白，她也会耐心再次地解释给我听。谢谢她，因为之前都没有人告诉我关于这方面的事情。
由于年纪关系，所以我必须去做身体检查，她还会带我去做身体检查和一直更新我我的保单状态。
偶尔她也会一直联络关心我，问我近况如何叫我不要太操劳要take care. 我觉得很好啊，你这个 agent
很好啦。继续加油!

Mdm Tan, Housekeeping Executive

Rachel understands my need!

I know Rachel because of my housemate and I witnessed her since day 1 she joined this industry. Before this, I have never really spent my own time looking into financial planning. However, after meeting with Rachel, I have come to learn that a good financial planning is crucial to translate into long term income with protection, instead of focus on money I earn now.
She helps me to have policy review and provide objective advice on my financial portfolio to make my portfolio more comprehensive.
Rachel has become my absolute "go to" person for anything regarding financial planning. There are many other "hard sell' agent out there, but I have never found anyone as complete a professional as Rachel. She is very patient and accommodating, even simplified all my financial plans into a table form for me to understand better. Moreover, she is always well-prepared and up to date, often share new financial plans which can benefited me.
For those who are looking to start financial planning, you should contact Rachel without any pressure. There should absolutely be an extra cookie in her stocking at Christmas time.

Yeong Kang, Project Manager

原来我61岁了还可以买保险！

感恩！谢谢你！
缘分很奇妙！那天我在小食中心一个人吃着饭让我我遇见绘婷姐妹。那时我在拿了号码等着看医生顺便吃个饭，她看到我就问候一下我等等的。
经过了解一轮后，原来我没有住院保险，她就帮我申请了还告诉我现在市场上的情况变化。原来改变了那么多。。
之后她也有一直更进我的身体状况和保单进度，让我有安全感！
她很有耐心尤其是和我这些老人家谈天，跟她说话很舒服！她不像之前的agent那样,只是卖我之后就不见了。她这样有同理心可以做到更好的！加油！
我一直都跟身边朋友推荐她，大力支持！
加油💪🏻

Matthew Tan, Part time Cleaner

热于助人的小妹，加油！

我认识绘婷是在NorthPoint 的roadshow,当时我就要找为保诚的人帮我更改电话号码和邮件地址。当时看到她就走了过去问她了。
她也很热心地帮我更改等等的，她也很有跟我分享新加坡最新的保险更改。都解释道非常清楚，人也很友善，谈到都非常开心的！
我觉得坐保险经纪不容易，虽然我们刚刚认识，但是她会热于助人，这个非常重要。他也帮我整理了我手上有的保单，确保每样东西都好好的。
我绝对推荐她给身边的家人朋友，我也马上介绍我的干妹妹给她，她也解释道非常好👍🏻加油！非常感谢

Besides that, overall I have excellent experience & better understanding on my financial condition. Definitely will recommended Rachel to my friends who need financial planning.

Keat Wai, Senior Sales Associate

She is different with others!

I met Rachel at a roadshow in early September 2022. At first, when she approached me I just thought that its another financial consultant trying to sell me another insurance plan when I have everything covered.
However, she is someone different with other roadshow agents I ever met. After she spoke and check through the insurance plan I currently have, she have help me to optimize my coverage and reduce my premium by restructuring my coverage.
Definitely I would recommend my friends or anyone to Rachel as she is professional in her work.

Sean Yip, Food & Beverage Manager

Meet someone interesting & friendly

I met Rachel during a roadshow at Eastpoint. She is there to promote one of the savings account for young people.
She is a nice and friendly person who explained the plan in a way I could understand.
We met up for a tea break during my off day. She is knowledgeable and could help me understand ways to save enough to be able to at least live comfortably. I understand from her how to SAVE SMART instead of SAVE HARD. Also, she shared with me the importance of protection especially for those foreigners and we can have our protection even working in SG.
I would rate the whole meeting is satisfied and I have better understanding on my financial planning. Definitely i will recommended her for people who do not know how to start their own financial planning like save money more effectively.

Alvin Tan, Tearista

My ONLY financial consultant I trusted!

She is my sister in crime and glad to become her sister as she is a considerate and straightforward person. She always provide me with the advices no matter on my education or career.

Im impressed on the way she explained the financial plans to me after analysed my financial status and realise that i have to plan for future instead of currently. Everyone must have holistic planning and she will ensure all the plans and policies to suit my individual needs and requirement.

I was quite confused about my previous policies in Malaysia until she explain to me in detail after measuring all the risks. She is a patient, professional and good listener as she able to alert me with the potential issues or events and provide the solution by offer few financial options to me.

In short, highly recommended to everyone and don't hesitate to contact her for her to tailor your own financial plans. :) She will definitely help you out and no obligation!! No worries😉

Charlotte, Recruitment Consultant

Rachel跟我以前遇过的完全不一样！5星🌟

我很幸运因为我的大姐成为理财顾问，因为我不是很会这些理财这方面的概念。
首先她会替我分析了解我在大马买的保障和储蓄，我也完全不了解我有什么保障之类的。

与她的的面谈让我了解自己的财务，健康的重要性，也让我知道自己以后的goal和规划。她帮我分析我的财务状况然后根据我的预算客制化了适合我的投资理财配套，能有一个安稳的未来。

我也知道了我在新加坡可以享有基本的医药保障等等，让我可以安心在新加坡工作。需知道我们外国人在新加坡的医药费也很贵。

她也会很有耐心和简单地解释道清清楚楚，还一直问我明白吗？当我有什么问题时，他可以第一时间很有效率的帮我解决。我也对我的以后的理财规划有了更好的了解。只要有了保障和稳定的未来规划，我们都可以少了后顾之忧，安心的出门打拼！

感激能有这次的机会，让我可以更拥有自己的财务规划。
所以我激励推荐Rachel，让她能成为我们人生规划中的好伙伴！

Wynn Sing, Interior Designer
