Seedly Personal Finance Festival 2022
Ask me for advice on how to take care of your personal finances and all I can tell you is to spend within your means. As someone who considers not reaching $0 by the end of the month an achievement, I wouldn’t necessarily say that I have all the money management skills.

3. Understanding web3.0 can help you prepare for cryptocurrency investments
It’s 2022, so common cryptocurrency terms like memecoin and NFT are likely already part of your everyday vernacular. Behind all that is blockchain technology, the building blocks of web3.0. It is considered the third generation of the Internet and its applications extend far beyond cryptocurrencies.
As more Internet users embrace web3.0, you’ll want to pay attention to what this could mean for the future of personal finance. Web3.0 enables things like more secure transactions and the ability for widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. Knowing this can help you understand which area of crypto would be more suitable for your investment portfolio.
Hear from Crypto.com’s own COO Eric Anziani on the implications this has for future investing. In addition to sharing on web3.0, he will also talk about how the cryptocurrency market will evolve in the coming years.

4. Investing in properties does not mean just remodeling a house
Whenever there is news of an HDB condo selling at an astronomical price, like this $1 million jumbo condo in Yishun, it’s tempting to think that you can easily make a profit just by selling a house.
Buying and selling property, or even making money renting out rooms and houses, is just one small aspect of real estate investing. There are also real estate investment trusts (REITs) to deal with. It’s when you invest money in real estate developers who do exactly the same thing, without you needing to get involved in the nitty-gritty.
To get a piece of the pie in the booming real estate market, first do your research on the industry with Property investment in Singapore. In addition to covering the basics of property investing, you’ll also get additional tips on how the new measures will affect your portfolio in the near future.

5. Having an investment style helps set expectations about risk and loss
You have researched what to invest in, now comes the difficult part of choosing how to invest. Do you go with a robo advisor, trade heavily in the stock market, or passively invest a portion of your income through a broker? With so many options available, it can be overwhelming for the amateur investor to know which route to take.
That is why experienced investors recommend having an investment style. It’s not as simple as taking a quiz from a magazine that will tell you what style you are based on the number of A’s you’ve checked. It’s an assessment of your commitment to invest in areas like time and effort, risk appetite, and even psychology.
But once you’ve mastered his style, you’ll be able to set expectations about risk and loss when making investment decisions. Dawn Fiona, founder of SG Budget Babe, goes through the process of discovering her style in her PFF keynote. She will even share how a single investor can have multiple styles and how to use that to her portfolio’s advantage.
