“New Year New Me!”
At least that’s what we tell ourselves when we plan our new year’s resolutions.
But with only 16% of us succeeding in following our new year resolutions, it’s not that easy to put our plans into action.
This year, I’ve decided to get my personal finances in check for the year 2023.
And what better way to take actionable steps than signing up for events?
So here are some of the best personal finance events that you and I can attend to level up our personal finance knowledge for the year ahead and beyond!

At this year’s Seedly PFF, you’ll get to hear from speakers such as Minister Ong Ye Kung, Rachel Lim (Co-founder of Love, Bonito), Goh Wei Choon (Co-founder of TheWokeSalaryman), Alvin Chow (Founder of DrWealth) and many more!
The event also covers the widest range of personal finance topics such as investments, housing, wealth building, parenting, career, and even mental health!

Endowus Webinar: 2023 Market Outlook (17 Jan)
With a turbulent year for markets in 2022, many of us investors are worried about our portfolios and what is in store for the year ahead.

The webinar will be covering topics such as:
