Power Cut Off as a Kid, Financially Free at 31 | Thomas Chua, The Lunch Break Investor
#money When Thomas Chua was a boy in Singapore, the bills would go unpaid for months until the electricity and water were cut off. His father had stopped working when he was ten, lost to gambling and drink. So Thomas spent his evenings in the library ten minutes away, and at 16 he picked up the book that taught him why you should own productive assets. By 19 he'd saved about $30,000 from odd jobs — cashier, waiter, selling ice cream door to door. When he won a scholarship to NUS, his father told him to drop it and start earning for the family. He went anyway. At 31, he was financially independent. He still works every day, because to him freedom was never about stopping. He came up to KL by train, with his wife, to launch his book The Lunch Break Investor. Chuang sat down with him to get into how he invests, and to push back where they disagree — most of all on whether the AI boom has changed the rules for good.

RM1 Million on a Melbourne Degree. Two Years Later, Still No Job
#money A family Chuang knows spent about RM1 million putting their son through a marketing degree in Melbourne. Covid and a split year stretched it by an extra year and a half. Two years after graduating, he's still at home in his room, still without a job. Anabelle's daughter turns 17 this year and wants to study fashion business in France. Chuang was sent to a British boarding school at 13 on money his parents didn't really have — what he now calls overreaching. He ranks where you send your children as the second-biggest financial decision of your life, after your house. So the two of us sat down to work through it properly: the pros, the cons, and how you actually pay for it. We agree the grass isn't greener. We don't agree on how to pay for it.
