    Alex Lim

    I graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) degree specialising in Finance and Marketing from the National University of Singapore. I enjoy reading about budgeting, investing and personal effectiveness. I started a blog called Cents for Good Sense to give my two cents’ worth (hence, the word “cents” in “Cents for Good Sense”) on personal finance and self-improvement.
