Subscriber Picks: Will property and car prices stabilise in 2023? | What are you most and least grateful for?

Subscriber picks is a weekly curation of the best from The Straits Times - where we bring you exclusive reports, in-depth analyses, and the latest happenings in Singapore and beyond.


As 2022 draws to a close, what's on your mind?

If you are reflecting on the year's ups and downs - and looking to start 2023 afresh - try asking yourself: What are you most grateful for? And what are you least grateful for? Writer Lydia Lim shares how asking these two simple questions can help people figure out what are the things that give them life, and those that don’t.

In this last edition of the year, we also look at key trends for the new year. Will property and COE prices stabilise? What can you consider if you want to learn something new? How can you take better care of yourself?

I wish you a happy 2023, and may you find lots to be grateful for.
