The Providend Conversation: Living the Good Life with Jonathan Teoh

Living a Good Life: From Architecture to Empowering Seniors Through Purposeful Innovation

“I have my wife who is my pillar and rock, and also my little baby who can’t say much but at least I can hug him after a long day from work, and I can then say: Okay, the day is good.”

As the leading fee-only wealth advisory firm in Asia, we’ve always advocated for making life decisions before money decisions—especially when it comes to your hard-earned money.

In this episode of “The Providend Conversation,” we’re delighted to feature Jonathan Teoh, an architect by training and practice who gave up a well-paying job to start a socially conscious enterprise called AN LIVING. The initiative focuses on helping seniors enhance their financial security, aligning with Singapore’s vision of becoming a “Nation for All Ages.” AN LIVING’s goal is similar to the HDB Lease Buyback Scheme—but designed for private property homeowners with fully paid-up freehold or 999-year leasehold homes.

In this interview, we learn more about Jonathan’s upbringing, and the support that shaped his strong conviction to help seniors in Singapore enhance their financial security.
