Synopsis: Every Monday, get a head start in your personal finance, career and life with The Straits Times.

Our friend circles shrink as we get older. Whose fault is it?

In this episode, therapist Cao Zhikai shares how we can deal with losing friends as we enter adulthood, and what we can do to combat that feeling of loss.

Going on a holiday can be a good break, but can also turn into a nightmare if friends do not get along. How do we square having fun with different friendship habits while travelling?

In this episode, we delve into full disclosures, pre-trip talks and balancing different travel agendas within the same group.

The US markets have been on a tear in recent years, but is it always a good place to invest?

In this episode, Endowus’ Sheryl Choong and OCBC’s Afdhal Rahman look at how to buy into the US’ growth, while avoiding common investor pitfalls.
