The Financial Coconut Podcast

Ever dreamed of an early retirement with your dollar stretching way further? Or just living that landed property life on a budget? We take you across the Causeway to Johor Bahru, where Reggie and two semi-retired guests spill all the tea.

Hear more from Gary Teh, a Singaporean retiree, who called it quits on the corporate grind at 40, and how a fulfilled entrepreneur found a home for his media business over the border;

Hossan Leong, Creative Director of Double Confirm Productions is also an actor, comedian, director, television and radio host, motivational speaker and one of Singapore’s most loved entertainer. He is better affectionately known as ‘Singapore Boy.’

For them, it is more than just fleeing Singapore's high costs - they're taking us inside their visas, business setups, and the regulatory changes that could make this a hotspot for Sing'trepreneurs.

Plus, learn the surprising perks they enjoy for a fraction of Singapore prices. Safety fears and banking woes won't keep you away after you hear what they have to say.

From landed properties for condo prices to the buzzword you need to know (Iskandar Special Economic Zone), this is your candid glimpse into living large with a lower price tag. Is the grass really greener on the other side? Tune in to this juicy episode to find out!
