About Derek Lim

I’m an IT engineer based in Singapore with a passion for anything to do with finance and investing. My financial journey started when I picked up a book by Rich Dad Poor Dad. As I was reading up on the subject I learnt about financial concepts such as cash flow, good debt, bad debt, (actually saving money and not spending it all on beer) – and other important lessons. There are plenty of corporate/news reports and articles but I wanted articles with a personal touch and written in a local context. This prove to be quite difficult as there wasn't many local financial blogs around.
