Here's how Benjamin Kheng converted his passion into a liveable wage 💪

One of the earliest pieces of advice Endowus chief executive Gregory Van gave to Kheng was to "learn to make his money work" for him. But in order to learn, Kheng shared that he had to place his ego and pride aside."I had to ask experts like Greg to break it down to the basics and explain it simply to me like ELI5 . I learnt that it is okay to not know. I had to ask silly questions, humble myself, and figure it out," Kheng recalled.

Case in point: though late to the savings and investment game, Kheng is now a co-founder of Charle King, a boutique video production company, which he started with creative director Ted Charles.

"While not every project is so blessed, this calculated risk would not have been possible to make when I was in my mid-20s and risk-averse," he said. When asked if being more well-known these days make being a freelancer easier, Kheng chuckled and said, "I think it's a misnomer. The market is so volatile, so it's important for us to remember to save up for a rainy day."One regret that Kheng has was not seeking financial literacy at the start of his career.
