Property
Most people chase capital gain. I chase a home I actually want to live in, and assets that work while I hold them. Six properties and over a million dollars in realised and unrealised gains back that up.
Don't buy to rent out and wait for the market. Buy what makes sense for your life, live in it, and time does the heavy lifting.
Each one with the price paid, what happened, and what it taught me.

My own account of what I did with my own money. Not financial or property advice, and I don't take commission on anyone's purchase. HDB rules change: check the current ones with HDB before you decide anything.
