Can you tell us about the stage of life you’re currently navigating?
I’d say I’m part of the so-called sandwich generation. I’m responsible for my elderly parents, who’ve retired, while also supporting a wife and teenage child.
What’s your current living situation? Do you rent, live with family, or own your home?
I own a four-room HDB flat where I live with my wife and child.
