Hi

I'd like to see a resource section in this website where people can go to for information.

I have some personal finance, investment money saving books that I'd be happy to share / donate. Is this something that this organisation requires?

In terms of the internet, I found few online resources that had a Singapore focus so most of my personal online research was largely based on foreign websites.  Here's some on saving money:

a. moneycentral's personal finance / investment section -

http://moneycentral.msn.com/personal-finance/

there are scores of articles there on tips on saving money - some applicable to our Singapore context; some not

b. "Money Diet" written by a British guy Martin Lewis-i found useful tips to curb spending / impulse shopping / cutting bills etc - again all from the UK context  but ideas are useful.  In fact i found this book at a second hand bookshop.  He's even got an excel sheet where you can do your budgeting  etc.  Here is his website

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/

c. "Start late finish rich" - by david bach - was another book i read on how we can make every cent count - this writer calls it the "Latte factor" because if we cut back on one small item each day e.g. taking a cab to work - annualy this may add up to $2 k to $3k a year .... "small savings will add up" was the basic premise of his book

d. Locally - sadly- i have only found Mr Tan's website and the related links-hence - i hope others can share useful web based or book resources

regards, m
