At Money Mind, we want to give you the information you need to help you grow, save and spend your money wisely, wherever you are in the region.
So we conducted a survey asking Gen Z in five ASEAN countries about their personal finance habits. What they told us about their hopes, their challenges, and their pain points led to stories about making the financial choices that could open the door to a better life.
Such as, a gig worker who grapples with the question: How do you save for your dream house when you don’t have a regular income?
Why do big money moves need to involve all members of your family – including, for one SIngaporean couple, the ones with four legs?
And what does one single meal a day of chicken rice say about tough budgeting choices when you’re a 19-year-old living in a city like Bangkok?
These may be #adulting stories, but the dilemmas strike a common chord across all ages. You’ll hear more of them in the coming weeks (every Saturday at 8.30pm Singapore time on CNA, and online anytime).
We’d love to hear your stories about how you save, grow, use (or mis-use) your money. Get in touch with us via email at moneymind@mediacorp.com.sg
