## Resource

She's 26, single, and just bought a near $1 million condo on a freelance income. The internet refused to believe it. Meet Chris Chross, Producer & Sound Recordist, Continuum Creatives - the Singaporean millennial whose TikTok went viral when she filmed her parents' reaction to her solo condo purchase. But the headline misses the actual story. Behind the viral moment is a brutal practical playbook: why she went condo over HDB (singles can't BTO), how she saved and earned $20K in 10 weeks for the down payment, the mortgage haircut every non-9-to-5 worker needs to know about, and why she still doesn't feel rich. Reggie sits her down to unpack the strategy, the sacrifices, and the parts the algorithm doesn't show - from bank loan SOPs to family dynamics to what she'd actually do differently. If you're a single millennial wondering what your real options are, this is required watching. --- 🎧 The Financial Coconut: Your weekly source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking possibilities.
