\nMany of us work hard to save up enough money for that dream home or flashy car that we\u2019ve been wanting\u00a0for so long. However, spending too much on material possessions may affect our retirement plans.\u00a0\u00a0
\nWe may not want to admit it, but growing older means spending more on\u00a0healthcare which is expensive in Singapore. Having medical insurance and sufficient savings can defray some of the costs.\u00a0
\nIn this issue, we look at some ways to help you plan for retirement. For instance, investing in property can help create passive income so you don\u2019t have to continue working well into old age. Turn to page 20 for the full story.\u00a0\u00a0
\nFrom a\u00a0Feng Shui\u00a0perspective, we look at what your element says about your financial habits, health and relationships, which will help you\u00a0plan for the future.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\nIf you\u2019re looking to\u00a0retire abroad, why not consider Thailand. It\u2019s a cheaper place to live\u00a0in\u00a0and\u00a0the culture is more laid-back. Our writer explores\u00a0investment opportunities in the Land of Smiles that won\u2019t burn a hole in your pocket.\u00a0\u00a0
\nMeanwhile, potential buyers of local projects can\u00a0turn to page 16 to read our\u00a0top\u00a0tips on what you should know when visiting a condo showflat. Don\u2019t\u00a0be hit by an unwanted surprise!\u00a0
