soulwinner SG

Try saving it in an offshore bank account… It will be so troublesome to withdrawal take will eventually retain all your savings…

thelesis SG

I see... currently my saving is in DBS... no bankbook, just monthly statement to my mailbox..

I heard that citibank is offering the same thing too.. it give you free cheque book and one debit card which look like very professional....

Yes indeed... most of my friends spend money like water... and they are happier than me.... I know money can earn back so happiness is the one we should focus more... right? So in the end, i dun have much saving too... LOL

selfobliged SG

I created a 2nd personal account and transfer $500 to there every month. But it's not a monthly saving plan. Just in case i want to draw money during emergencies.

ispyyy SG

lol... I m a simple guy and born in a cash control tight family...
I dont spend much or rather dont ask for much... So, I dont usually need to control my expenditure...
If I dont gamble, dont go out with friends to expensive outing and dont need to pay liabilities, I can save up to 80% ... It is not difficult for me lor...
