Hello!

Welcome to the sunny and humid island!

There a few Singaporeans lurking on this forum.

Following thread in case meetups get planned, as we'll likely be in Singapore in early December.  :)
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

I'll probably pass through either at the end of September or sometime in October.

(I can't imagine being Mustachian in SG unless you can buy an HDB. Housing is out of control!)

Sounds awesome. Look forward to hearing more about this! :)

Being mustachian without a HDB flat is totally possible... housing isn't the only salient variable in the equation to building wealth.

You think housing is outrageous, wait till you find out about how much a car costs here!;)

Hey thanks for the welcome!

Oh and don't forget about  our "pesky" CPF on top of our housing "woes". I wonder if a good majority of Singaporeans are financially literate; our savings rate is pretty high compared with other OECD countries.

I've been hoping to organize a Singapore meetup, but have only had one or two replies so far. What's the critical number needed to try to organize a meetup? I also found there's a local ChooseFI group on facebook, but they've only met once IRL and I don't really tend to log into that platform very often. I hope to meet some local mustachians soon.

Hello! I’m keen for a meetup with fellow Mustachians! Following this thread for any updates that might come up.

I'm still interested. I was trying to put together a WhatsApp group to make it easier to coordinate, but only one person ever replied to be added to the group. I guess perhaps the best thing to do is keep this thread alive. What's a nice frugal place to host a meetup?

Should we have a local introductions thread?

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
