Reduction in yield

You can use this approach to calculate the reduction in yield on your life insurance policy and see if it exceeds the acceptable benchmark of 1.5% per annum. See Ask Mr. Tan

Term insurance to age 99 years

Some insurance companies are marketing a term insurance policy to age 99 years. It looks attractive, but consumers should be aware about the risks involved in this type of policy. Find out from  Ask Mr. Tan

Family Life 1.1 - More winners

Hi Mr. Tan,
Thank you for making such a great simulation game filled with many life twisting events, which could influence the success in the outcome. I learnt a lot from the game such as balancing out resources in improving all areas, especially work and social in early stages. This leads to higher probability in promotions and early marriage! With some luck, I manage to get 3rd in one of the game in the screenshot.




Dear Mr Tan,
It is my first time playing and I managed to come in 5 in the final year! I found the game interesting but perhaps some modifications can be made to the game to make it more realistic and meaningful, however i am certain you would already have thought of it.

Hi
Just out of curiosity and wanted to try how different it would be if i had fine-tuned my approach and am surprized by the results. Would you consider signing your autograph on the book for the top 10 highest score for the month? That would be much appreciated although i am assuming the score i have received is high enough.

Family Life 1.1 - Two winners

There are 24 games each day, one starting every hour. Each game comprises of 40 avatar years and can completed in 2 hours (3 mins per year). You can play the game at www.easysearch.sg (Family Life).

If you are new to the game, you can read the Guide at the home page of Family Life. There is also a guide on how to win the 120 prizes that can be won each day. Each person is entitled to win only one prize for the entire contest, but you can teach a family member or friend to win the prize also.

A new version of the game, with better artificial intelligence, will be introduced later this month. So, if you know the technique of this game, you should try to win the prize before the new version is introduced !!!

Here are the comments of the two winners:
1) I would like to say this web game is pretty interesting and I believe has a lot of possibilities to expand into. Perhaps the players can have a selection of various areas of career paths/education. Looking forward for an update. 
2) Thanks for the great game!

Family Life 1.1

About 10 to 15 people play Family Life each day. It is getting popular. A few have played the game several times. They will surely reach the top 5 positions (and win the Tangram book prize) soon. They should be able to catch the technique of making the right "family life" decisions.

Try now at www.easysearch.sg (Family Life). A new version with better artificial intelligence will be introduced later this month. Over the next two games, the game can be played on the mobile devices with better graphics, animation and sound. This will be more interesting at that time.
