Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2018, The Straits Times and The Business Times offer tips for the newcomer to the financial and investment scene.
Is buying just one bundled policy for the rest of your life enough? Mr Walter de Oude, founder and chief executive of Singapore Life - a next generation life insurance company licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore - explains four simple steps to take after listening to this episode.
He explains the difference between life insurance and term life insurance and how you can consider a modular buying approach with an increasing trend towards term insurance for example, with specific plans and purposes.
Step 1: Decide your needs. Lump savings plan and insurance together? Or keep them separate? It's best these days to build as you go along as newer, better and more flexible products come to the market.
Step 2: Do a comparison across the market, especially for products like term insurance.
Step 3: Make the commitment to buy your insurance after you do your homework.
Step 4: Look at the building blocks of your long-term insurance needs. Ensure a shield plan first, critical event coverage and life insurance cover, and then, a disability income plan as the final step.

7:35 mins
Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2018, The Straits Times and The Business Times offer tips for the newcomer to the financial and investment scene.
Ms Natalia Goh - head of credit cards and personal loans for Standard Chartered Bank Singapore - explains why practical Singaporeans love cashback cards like Standard Chartered's Unlimited Cashback Card.
It offers 1.5 per cent cashback on spending with no cap, and is among the best in the market, as The Straits Times had previously reported.
To make your credit card work harder, keep three pointers in mind:
1. Know your lifestyle needs and spending habits
2. Read and compare terms, conditions and benefits of credit cards online first, before applying
3. Look out for seasonal promotions, ahead of the approaching Christmas period for example
She gives us tips on how to look for different credit cards for different needs - ranging from petrol to dining, and online shopping.

Our main feature this week is Creed II and we're shocked at the amount of praise we're giving Sylvester Stallone. However, the praise fest comes to a shrieking halt thanks to a disagreement over Dumbledore.
Elsewhere, other recommendations come via the work of the Coen Brothers in The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs and The Man Who Wasn't There
