Buy back time

Buy back time. Know your numbers.

Honest FIRE calculators for burnt-out Singapore professionals. Surface hidden drag, define what freedom actually costs, and run the numbers before you buy Toto.

Not a lottery site. The Toto wrapper is the joke; the calculators are the point.

Not financial advice. Engineer-built, low-pressure, maybe funny.

How I think about it

Practical, not ideological.

Money clarity and workflow drag are two sides of the same coin — both buy you time. These tools help you pick the right lever.

01

Use the right lever

AI, delegation, a household tool, or just paying for help — whichever is cheapest.

02

Know what your time costs

Spending, savings rate, and retirement target — concrete numbers, not vibes.

03

Build for a lighter life

Fewer dropped balls. Less background stress. More energy left for the people who matter.

“I care about efficiency because reclaimed time is the point. Sometimes that means AI. Sometimes it means delegation, a better system, hired help, or the boring tool that quietly gets your evenings back.”
