What if everything you’ve been told about success in Singapore is… optional? We sat with one of Singapore’s most talked-about new voices in personal finance and intentional living: 🐢 ContraTurtle

Who is ContraTurtle?

He’s not a trader. He’s not into get-rich-quick schemes. And no, that turtle mask he shows up in isn’t a gimmick – it’s a philosophy. Inspired by Charlie Munger and powered by AI (yes, really), ContraTurtle is on a mission to challenge the script: graduate, get a job, buy a condo, repeat. Tune in as he shares:

• Why the "condo-and-car" script might not be your path to happiness.
• How a shocking family loss led to a radical rethink of money and purpose.
• The surprising connection between Charlie Munger, a scarecrow village, and finding your Ikigai.
• ContraTurtle’s nine criteria for picking stocks—and why "lazy investing" could be your best strategy.
• A glimpse into the future of tech investing (hint: it involves AI glasses and WhatsApp).

This isn’t just about money. It’s about designing a life that’s truly yours — not one borrowed from your parents, your peers, or societal pressure.
