I love reading Dr. Money's works.They are simple and he does not mince his words when it comes to tearing apart the insurance agents to expose their inside.
I advise those who wish to know more about insurance and investment, this is a must read so you don't get ripped off by insurance salesmen and women.

Mr Tan Kin Lian and Dr Money really can connect well with common folks on such matters. Most of the time I totally agreed with what they said and also reinforce what I think and provide good insight into things I am not aware of. They are unique because few writers or journalists are like them.

Hi Mr Tan,

I tried clicking on the links to access Dr Money's articles. However, the website was Starhub's.

Please advise on where I can access the abovementioned articles.

Thanks
