“Young people are so carefree!”, but is it true? In this series 'Snack for Thought', we dive into real conversations on the money and life issues young adults face, while keeping it light-hearted with a mukbang style, sharing the food gems around our office at Duxton Hill, giving listeners plenty to chew on.

As trusted advisers to our affluent clients for over two decades, journeying with different generations, this series also gives parents and guardians insight into what their children or grandchildren (early 20s to 30s) may be experiencing. We explore the topics young adults care about, the challenges they face, and the concerns they discuss with peers. We hope these conversations help you understand them better and connect more meaningfully.

In this first episode, Kate and Helen nibble on the idea of reaching $100k by 30 while enjoying treats from Equate Coffee at Tanjong Pagar Plaza. They explore the savings and choices needed to hit this milestone, while considering how to balance it with living life and spending on what matters. Kate shares her personal journey, and Helen reflects on her own milestones, sparking a discussion on whether 100k by 30 should be viewed as a realistic benchmark?
