Mr Eyebags Financial Tips

It’s not just about what you do; it’s about why and how you do it.

Ray Dalio perfectly sums it up in his quote, ‘The most important thing is that you develop your own principles and ideally write them down, especially if you are working with others.’

Writing down our principles not only helps guide our decision-making but also makes our values clear to those around us. Whether we are leading a team or working independently, having a defined set of principles means less second-guessing and more consistency in how our approach challenges.

For me, this practice has been a game changer in both personal and professional life. It’s something I recommend to clients—when you know your core financial principles, it’s easier to make long-term decisions that align with your goals.

What principles are guiding you today?

We live in a melting pot of cultures and when moving to a foreign location like Singapore the first order of business is usually housing, schools, rent and good food :) (outside of our jobs)

Over many a conversation with my friends who work in Singapore this seems to be their primary focus.

There are 3 things that I’ve found which are crucial yet many of us are unaware of.

1. SRS (Supplementary Retirement Scheme)
It’s an acronym that gives you tax relief while helping you build retirement savings. Yet, so many people working in Singapore miss out on it, even though it’s designed to help everyone, regardless of whether you’re sticking around long-term.

2. Local Health Insurance
International health plan sounds great, however, if they’re not travelling back and forth or staying in other countries for extended periods, is it really worth?

3. Estate Planning
Already a topic everyone avoids like the plague, it’s complex, and if you’re from a different country, gets more complex, and if you’re not prepared, your assets can get tied up,more complicated.

I’m Max, I’ve got eye bags turning a midnight hustle into a financial muscle.

If you’re thinking about supporting your kids forever, Read more about my previous post: https://lnkd.in/g-iZJSk4

“I want to support her for as long as I can.”

It’s something many of us, as divorced parents, often feel. After going through the emotional and financial upheaval of a divorce, our desire to provide for our children doesn’t simply fade. But the real question becomes: When do we shift from providing support to helping them build financial independence?

Divorce changes the financial landscape for everyone involved. Studies show that children of divorced families are 64% more likely to experience financial challenges, especially as we manage split incomes and separate households. And with rising housing prices, competitive job markets, and lingering student loans, expecting financial independence by 25 isn’t always realistic.

The goal doesn’t have to be about when we stop supporting them financially. Instead, it’s about how we can guide them towards financial literacy and resilience. By planning carefully and having open conversations, we can help them navigate these challenges—whether it’s budgeting, saving, or making career choices that lead to independence.

So, rather than asking ourselves “When should we stop supporting?” perhaps we should be asking, “How can we best support their journey toward independence?”

How have we, as a community, approached this together?
