You wouldn’t bet your life savings on a football team. So why do it with a single stock? In this DollarsAndSense podcast episode, we explore why investing in the STI ETF is a lot like following the English Premier League.

Whether you're a Manchester United die-hard or just ETF-curious, we break down how index investing works, why teams (and stocks) get “relegated,” and how not to be a fair-weather investor.

The NCMP role gives opposition candidates who narrowly lost a second chance to enter Parliament. But with a $2,063 monthly allowance and limited voting rights, is it fair to expect them to accept it? In this episode of the DollarsAndSense Podcast, we unpack the origins of the NCMP scheme, how it's evolved, and why taking on the role is not just a political decision but a deeply personal one. We also explore how NCMPs can shape future elections, and why the choice to accept or reject the role isn't as straightforward as it seems.
