Their Instagram totally got rid of Singaporeans’ usual stereotype of government policies and organisations being dull and boring.
Dave Ramsey
“Who is Dave Ramsey?”
I knew you’d ask!
Dave Ramsey is a strong advocator of fiscal discipline towards personal finance.
He came up with the Debt Snowball method, which is one of the most effective methods when clearing a debt.
His Instagram account is great for Singaporeans in debt, looking for methods and motivation to clear their debts quickly and effectively.

The official Instagram account for Forbes.com, giving interesting insights into what is going on around the world, with professionally taken photos and description.
If you ever need some motivation, the #ForbesUnder30 list can be a form of encouragement to continue working hard!
Mint
Like Seedly, Mint has a personal finance management mobile app that started in the states.
Their WTF (What The Finance) posts are our favourite as they give definitions and explanation to finance terms, all in one graphic.
Money FM 89.3
The Instagram account of Singapore’s first business and personal finance radio station, Money FM 89.3 shares useful finance quotes and snippets from their interviews.
It’s not just that though, they also post useful health tips!

The Finance Bar’s Instagram forces one to look harder into their money habits and their posts will make you want to take action.
The Financial Diet
The Thought Catalog of personal finance, The Financial Debt offers a mix of career, financial and life advice for millennials.
One of the best-looking account on the list, good for Singaporeans looking for their daily motivation quote for personal finance.
The Simple Sum
The Simple Sum’s Instagram posts will likely grab your attention as you scroll through your feed since they ain’t shy about using colours!
With their beautiful visuals, The Simple Sum aims to improve your financial literacy one comic at a time.
The Woke Salaryman
