Decision Comparisons

Choose the right model first. Then run the numbers. Last updated: February 2026

Most people lose money because they compare the wrong thing: instalments instead of total exposure, or “monthly cost” without liquidity risk. These comparisons are built to get you to a decision quickly.


Transport comparisons

Car vs Ride-Hailing
Break-even logic + what you’re really paying for.
Own a Car vs Public Transport
The “time vs money vs fragility” decision.
Leasing vs Buying
Holding period + risk transfer (not monthly price).
Renew COE vs Replace Car
When renewal is rational, and when it’s denial.
Used vs New
What “cheaper” actually means over 5 years.
Motorcycle vs Car
Full exposure comparison, not vibes.

Property comparisons

Rent vs Buy
5-year cost + liquidity framework (Singapore).
BTO vs Resale
The full cost comparison (not just sticker price).
HDB vs Condo
Cost, lifestyle, and regret tradeoffs.
Rent Out vs Sell
How to decide without hindsight bias.
Fixed vs Floating Home Loan
Choose structure by buffer + fragility (not rate forecasts).
Refinance vs Reprice
Break-even framework: rate gap, costs, lock-in, speed.

Run the numbers (fast)

If a comparison feels close, run the stress test — fragility is where regret comes from.
