What does it really mean to be middle class in Singapore today? It's a question on so many minds as costs rise and definitions blur.

Join us this week as we pull back the curtain on this complex issue. We've assembled an all-star panel ranging from number-crunching academics to seasoned hustlers living the middle class dream.

We've got Khai, MD of RICE Media; Tan En Ser, an appointed Justice of the Peace in 2013, author, and Associate Professor with IPS; and Ainul, a tech influencer with insider knowledge on thriving careers in the tech industry.

They'll spill insights into the role of social circles in success, or how to balance family with self-care on a budget. We'll also tackle tough questions people are afraid to ask: Is the middle truly shrinking or expanding in new ways?

But that's not all! We'll delve into the intriguing concept of the Gini Coefficient, a measure of inequality that will leave you questioning the status quo. Find out how government transfers play a vital role in reshaping societal dynamics and creating a fairer playing field.

And brace yourself for an eye-opening discussion on progressive tax systems and the redistribution of wealth. How can we create a more balanced society that supports working parents and offers assistance to those in need?

Tune in to thought-provoking exploration of the middle-class good life in 2024 that you won't want to miss it.
