Money and Me: How to Retire Several Times over a Lifetime

Money and Me: How to Retire Several Times over a Lifetime

Are more in Singapore rewriting the rules of work and retirement?

Hosted by Michelle Martin with guest Ashmita Acharya, Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking, HSBC Singapore, this episode explores how Singaporeans are trading the “work till 65” model for intentional career pauses.

We unpack HSBC findings that show 40% of Singaporeans planning mini-retirements aim to keep costs under $100K - signaling a shift from privilege to mainstream.

From burnout relief to pursuing passion projects, mini-retirements are reshaping financial and life planning.

How are they being funded - CPF, dividends, disciplined savings? And what are the non-financial hurdles that trip people up?

Discover practical tips for anyone inspired to design a career with breaks built in, without sacrificing long-term security.
