I've been a self-employed person for the past decade.
On paper, it seems like I've 'made it' but in reality, I have zero savings to account for. On average, i earn 200k a year.
Anyone has any tips on how I can manage my finances better and also how do we save as a commission-based personnel because we don't know when is the next paycheck coming in unless we close deals everyday.

As the saying goes, it is not much you earn but how much you can save. Indeed. Discipline is key but only you know how best to instil. Best of luck. 🙏

Probably can leverage on OCBC Savings Goals and divert some money into "Savings Goals" to artificially lock the sum away
"Money Lock" is another way to ensure that your money is not being used unnecessarily (plus protection from scammers), and it can only be unlocked at physical ATMs (a bit of inconvenience if want to spend that money)

Other than being aware of where your money is going and using all the relevant tools - sometimes it helps to work with a financial consultant as your accountability partner.
