If you’re living overseas for a few weeks or months, what’s the smartest way to pay without carrying a wallet full of cards — or wiping out the value of your miles with foreign-currency fees? Michelle Martin speaks with Tim Phillips, Founder of TimTalksMoney, about building a simple two- or three-card strategy for spending abroad. They unpack when 4-miles-per-dollar cards really deliver, the spending caps to watch, and when a multi-currency card may actually leave you better off. From flights and accommodation to groceries, transport, rent and ATM withdrawals, find out which card to reach for — and why you should almost always choose local currency when a merchant offers to charge you in Singapore dollars.

Are consumers falling out of love with Lululemon’s famous leggings?

Shares plunged after disappointing earnings and a weaker outlook - but the bigger question is whether fashion itself has moved on.

Meanwhile, DBS analysts see a stronger yield opportunity in S-REITs than Singapore bank dividends. What has changed in the income equation?

Michelle Martin also looks at what falling US bond yields mean for tech stocks before playing Up or Down on Nvidia’s US$12.9 billion Hugging Face acquisition, SpaceX’s return to the US$2 trillion club and Volkswagen’s plan to cut 50,000 jobs.

Plus, why is the Dutch central bank moving part of its gold reserves away from the US - and does it tell us anything about changing perceptions of geopolitical risk?

What if we managed our health the way we manage our money - investing early, tracking risk and thinking about long-term returns?

Functional nutritionist Jieun Wrigley of Rapid Nutrition Therapy says preventive-minded individuals are moving beyond conventional annual health screenings towards more detailed biomarkers, biological-age profiling and inflammation tracking.

But which tests are genuinely useful, and which belong to the increasingly crowded world of wellness hype?

On Live Well with Michelle, Jieun joins Michelle Martin to explore the idea of health as “biological capital”: what newer health panels can reveal, where she believes conventional screening may fall short, and how nutrition fits into a proactive approach to longevity.

And for the busy, burnt-out professional who doesn't have hours a day to optimise their health, what actually moves the needle?
