He lives in Singapore so there are some slight deviations from a standard US based PP like his using VT instead of VTI. He's also a bit tighter on rebalancing than some us. But in general I think he's got it.

Singapore used to be a British colony. In the Queen's English the term "purse" is sometimes used interchangeably with wallet, bank account or net worth though I think it's a bit old fashioned in Britain today. It can also be a large monetary prize.
