The Gig Economy – Plan or Fail


On the back of strikes from Uber drivers and Uber’s lackluster IPO, I spoke to Robert Foo on the state of the gig economy.

We got into the importance of financial planning, especially since the lack of it here could land you in a lot of trouble, because you’ve got to do your own taxes and retirement planning since there’s no EPF or monthly tax deductions.

Income Tax 101 – Breaking It Down


A few week back I spoke to Dr Veerinderjeet about everyone’s favourite financial topic, income taxes.

Veerinder helped to clear up some of the complexity in the system, from what makes up chargeable income to what you need for an audit.
