How much time do you actually need to become a good investor? For most working adults, spending hours watching charts, tracking every headline and hunting for the next hot stock sounds exhausting. Thomas Chua thinks investing doesn’t have to work that way. He started learning about investing as a teenager, opened his first brokerage account at 18, and spent years trying different approaches. From dividends to technical analysis, before settling on a much simpler idea: understand good businesses, buy them at a sensible price, then give them time to compound. The hard part isn’t always finding the next stock. Sometimes, it’s having the patience to leave a good investment alone. On this episode of Chills with TFC, Reggie sits down with Thomas Chua, Founder of Steady Compounding and author of The Lunch Break Investor, to talk about building wealth, knowing when to sell, career risk, financial independence and why investing doesn’t need to become a second full-time job.

Everyone talks about India’s growth. But how much are you paying for that growth? That is where the conversation gets more interesting. India can have strong fundamentals, rising consumption and companies with long growth runways, while its stock market can still look expensive at certain points. Both things can be true. In this episode of Chills with TFC, Jermyn Wong of UTI Investment Singapore breaks down how investors can think about Nifty 50 valuations, what a “fair” P/E might look like and how India compares with markets such as the US. Because choosing a market is not only about asking which economy will grow fastest. Price still matters. Would you pay a premium for India’s growth story, or wait for a better valuation?

Kevin thought he had found someone he could trust. They met through a property-investing community. The other man spoke about family, long-term relationships and business. The first payments arrived without Kevin even needing to chase. Over time, that trust grew into multiple deals… and eventually into borrowed money. Then the rhythm changed. Payments needed reminders. A few days became longer delays. Excuses piled up. Kevin says the stress started showing at work and even clients could tell something was weighing on him. By then, this was no longer only an investment problem. His turning point was deciding to stop waiting quietly. Kevin documented what had happened, spoke publicly and engaged debt collectors. He recovered S$100,000, but the episode is less about getting money back than understanding how trust can blur risk. Today, he is sharing the mistakes publicly through Quest with Kev so other people can examine opportunities with less emotion than he did.

Jeremy Ko’s first gym died after about a year. No triumphant founder montage. He was fresh out of NS, knew fitness, but did not yet know how to run the business. That failure gave him the thing he could not buy from a franchise deck: context. More than a decade later, he says his group has 25+ gyms, alongside fitness equipment, sports supply and climbing businesses. The part worth stealing is not “work harder”. Jeremy’s model got stricter. He starts with demand and catchment, works backwards into rent and costs, and asks whether the concept can scale without the founder becoming the permanent receptionist, troubleshooter and cleaner. His sharpest line for anyone romanticising entrepreneurship: if you only create one outlet that needs you every day, you may have bought yourself a job. For TFC’s working-professional crowd, that is the real tension. Leaving a salary can create freedom… or swap one boss for rent, payroll and leaking roofs. --- 🎧 The Financial Coconut: Your weekly source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking possibilities.

Would you buy an ETF just because it is cheaper, more tax-efficient and easier to access from Singapore? With new UCITS ETFs coming to SGX, that choice is about to become much more relevant for local investors. But convenience is only one part of the equation. In this episode of Chills with TFC, Reggie, Dawn, Chuin Ting Weber and Kang Wei Chin unpack what investors should actually look at before choosing an ETF: the index underneath it, withholding tax, brokerage costs, bid-ask spreads, liquidity and whether “passive” really means passive. They also get into a surprisingly important question: when an ETF says “World”, how much of the world are investors actually getting? The ETF wrapper may look simple. What sits inside it can be very different. So if two ETFs track similar markets, what matters most to you: lower fees, tax efficiency, easier access or broader diversification?

Most of us plan for the hospital bill. But what happens if you cannot work for months… or even a year? Daniel was chasing FIRE. Then cancer forced him to stop working… but not in the way he had planned. At 34, Daniel found a lump after a 5km run. Nine days later, he was diagnosed with stage 2B Hodgkin lymphoma. Six months of chemotherapy followed: 12 sessions, 13kg lost and a treatment bill of over $300,000. His hospitalisation plan covered the treatment. His employer continued paying him for six months, while an early Critical Illness payout provided additional support. The bigger lesson? Preparing for illness is not only about paying the hospital. It is also about buying yourself enough time to recover. Prudential Singapore’s Health Gap Years poll found that 67% of respondents expected severe-stage critical illness recovery to take more than a year. Yet only 29% believed they had enough savings to get through it. Daniel and medical oncologist Dr Hsieh Wen-Son join us to discuss the money, treatment and the difficult reality of life after a cancer diagnosis. If you had to stop working tomorrow, how long could your finances last? Brought to you in partnership with Prudential Singapore.

For years, the credit card debate had two camps: Team Miles or Team Cashback. Now, Trust Bank is adding a third contender, which is Stockback. This week on Chills with TFC, Reggie sits down with Dawn from SG Budget Babe, personal finance YouTuber Demi Zhuang and Johnathan Chua from The Daily Ketchup Podcast to compare how they reward their spending. Dawn reveals why becoming a mum pushed her from cashback to miles. Demi shares the surprisingly elaborate card strategy she uses while furnishing her new home. Johnathan knows firsthand how even a small oversight, like a forgotten S$17 Uber charge, can affect a credit score. Now he's gotten way past that and on track to shaping his financial health and freedom. Then comes the big question: could everyday spending help more Singaporeans take their first step into investing? With the Trust Freedom Card, you can now turn everyday spending into investing. Earn 3% Stockback on eligible purchases, and once your Stockback reaches S$10, it will be automatically invested into your chosen stock or ETF. Would you choose cashback, miles or stocks?

His first salary in Jakarta was S$150 a month. He saved 40% of it. Eleven years on in Singapore, he sits seven or eight years out from a S$2.5 million FIRE number, with two kids and a helper. Meet Deka, the Indonesian professional who built 630,000 subscribers in eighteen months teaching the thing his banker friends in Jakarta had never heard of: index investing. No gurus, no hot tips, no McLaren on the feed. Just a fixed split of every payday, half of every bonus into IBKR the day it lands, and a household that runs on one salary. Deka breaks down how he outsaves his childless Singaporean friends, why he moved his largest position out of CSPX and into VWRA, and what S$2.5 million looks like once you take CPF out of it. If you assumed FIRE in Singapore belongs to couples without kids, this is the counter-example. --- 🎧 The Financial Coconut: Your weekly source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking possibilities.

Singapore's National Day Rally 2026 changed how family support works. In the past, families got a bigger payout for each additional child, more money for the second child, even more for the third. That system is gone. Every child now receives the same flat support each year, no matter their birth order. Our guests explained why this matters more than the dollar amount itself: incentive-based payouts push people toward having more kids, while flat, universal support signals something different, that the government backs parenting itself, not a specific birth count. The change does not fix everything. Singles are still left out of the conversation, and policy moves faster than culture does. Removing the incentive for "just one more child" may make the support feel more honest, but it also resets what people expect family policy to do. Does support built on consistency actually change how Singaporeans plan families, or does the amount still matter most? --- 🎧 The Financial Coconut: Your weekly source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking possibilities.

Everyone says Singapore stocks are going cheap. So one guest pulled the Bloomberg numbers before walking into the studio: small caps here trade at 13 times earnings on average. Hong Kong? About four. Malaysia, 11. Her verdict: not undervalued. "Fairly priced." Meet Lawrence Loh, the NUS professor who has scored SGX-listed companies on governance for over a decade, and Hwee Li Ong, the SAC Capital CEO who takes companies to market. No sell-side spin, no vague optimism, no box-ticking. Just data, hard questions, and the odd coconut analogy. In this Chills with TFC, they break down why large companies outscore small ones on governance every year without fail, why REITs top the governance scores year after year, and whether family-run firms deserve a place in your portfolio. So which is it for you: are Singapore small caps cheap, or just bad at explaining themselves? --- 🎧 The Financial Coconut: Your weekly source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking possibilities.

Most investors love talking about equities. But in a world of higher interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, tariff risks, AI disruption, and shaky market narratives, fixed income may be more interesting than many people realise. Natalie Tan, Head of Wholesale for Southeast Asia, and Nathaniel Wilson, Fixed Income Investment Specialist at Aberdeen Investments, break down how bonds, credit strategies, investment grade, high yield, emerging market debt, frontier bonds, and short-duration fixed income actually fit into a portfolio. Not as “boring stuff for retirees”, but as tools that can help investors manage volatility, generate income, and think more clearly about risk. The big shift? Yields have reset higher. That means fixed income may no longer be just the defensive sidekick in your portfolio. Depending on your objective, it could play a bigger role than expected. For Singapore professionals who usually think “CPF is my bond” or go all-in on equities, this may be worth rethinking. Are bonds finally interesting again?

Burnout stories are common. What is rare is someone who actually steps off the “helicopter track” and rebuilds life from scratch. Dr Faith Nadine Choo, The Side Quest Doctor, did exactly that. After clocking 70 to 80 hours weekly and surviving 30‑hour hospital calls, she realised she was running on empty. Her turning point came during a palliative posting, watching a patient her age face terminal illness. That moment forced her to confront what she was truly chasing. Dr Faith eventually broke her medical bond, paid a six‑figure penalty, and redesigned her life around freedom, health and meaningful work. Today she works 20 to 25 hours weekly, earns 8 to 10K, writes, podcasts and builds a life that fits her values. This conversation is for anyone questioning the grind, exploring FIRE or wondering what “success” should look like in Singapore’s high‑pressure system. Save this if you’re navigating burnout, career pivots or planning your own version of financial independence.

He failed his startup. Lay awake at night convinced he'd ruined his financial future. Ten years later, he's sitting on a $4 million portfolio. Meet FIREPath Lion, the pseudonymous Singaporean blogger who shares everything most personal finance creators won't: his exact salary, every bonus, every investment, every number on the way to FIRE.
