1.68% Tiq 3-year endowment

It's the new year, and I've been hoping for good news. Instead, the first financial related stuff I saw was the interest cut on OCBC 360 savings account w.e.f 1 Feb ðŸ˜’

In view of the current low interest environment, I chanced upon the new plan by Etiqa.

I've been a Etiqa customer since 2019. 

Back then, I posted about the 2.02% ELASTIQ guaranteed plan which I bought. Unfortunately, this plan is now fully subscribed.

In 2020, I shared that this was one of the way I earned $600-$1,500 passive income (see point 3). During then, they had rolled out the 2.1% Tiq 3-year endowment but I didn't take the chance to enter since I had the ELASTIQ plan. On hindsight, should have parked some money there since the saving accounts interest are so pathetic....



As of today, 4 Jan 2021, Etiqa released a new 3-year endowment that provides a guaranteed 1.68% if you hold it for 3 years; with a minimum saving of $10,000. There is no medical underwriting involved. For more details, you may refer to the link here



Honestly, 1.68% is nothing to shout about BUT given today's low interest environment, I will be applying for my mum and park $10k here. 

If you are interested in the new 1.68% Tiq 3-year endowment, pls key in R104346 under referral code.

Experience as an existing customer

Registration is a breeze since info are generated from Singpass and top up is simple with straightforward instructions.

In terms of transaction records, I'd say it functions similar to ibanking. All I need is to login via Singpass, key in otp sent to your phone...and you'll get to see the transaction history. I've talked about my experiences back in 2019 too.

For reference, the below shows the interest given every month for my $15k 2.02% ELASTIQ account. Not bad hor?



Hope this sharing is useful for those who do not know where to park your spare cash! 

I'm always on a look-out for attractive plans that generate good interest. If you have any, pls share with me!

I finally cross $700k networth, after 1 year 4 months

I wondered how I should kickstart this post - should I be positive or negative about this? After 1 year 4 months, I finally crossed $700k in networth - returning back to where I've been at, back in Dec 2021.  I am disappointed.  For the past many years, I've always been growing my networth, at around $100-$150k/year. I had big plans to hit a net worth of $850k by December 2022, but the universe had other plans for me. Instead, I only managed to reach $646k, leaving me with a $204k gap to my target.  Ever since I became more aggressive in my "investment" portfolio in 2021, being sucked by greed to deploy most of my cash into stocks and crypto, I fell heavily, along with the crashes. Crypto wiped out 5 digits savings, so did the stock market.  To be honest, ever since the crashes and a bad hit to my net worth, I actually didn't do anything special to improve. I didn't make drastic spending cuts, I didn't stop my holidays, I didn't continue investing (no

What the luck? DBS and OCBC banking tokens died!

What luck. My ibanking tokens went dead one after another. OCBC Token First was my OCBC token. It said "low battery", but I ignored it. And when I finally need to use it, it was dead. Granted that I could use SMS OTP, I had to make a big transfer to other banks and it was over the withdrawal limits. And to do that, I needed the ibanking token. And serve me right for not activating the onetoken. In the end, I had to call in to OCBC call centre for a replacement. 7 working days, they said. What a long wait. In the midst of it, I needed to make my interbank transfers. I even went down to OCBC bank and explored a stupid manual way i.e to withdraw cash and deposit into the other bank. But the moment they told me they ran out of big notes, I got scared. While waiting for the token to arrive, I figured I could actually do transfers in smaller amounts, but had to bear with a daily cap. Sigh. And, one week later, my OCBC token arrived. How efficient.

Extremely bad start with UOB One

With the influx of posts on social media re UOB One (psst on grabpay) and the receipt of my house keys, I decided it was the time to sign up for a UOB One account plus credit card. It was gonna be the best tool for household joint expenses and joint savings. However, I've faced multiple hiccups that made me VERY frustrated....WHY ME?! 1. Delayed approving process led to losing out of sign up bonus First, I signed up for the UOB One card and Account in early Oct through Singsaver's promotion. The promotion said that I'd get to enjoy cash incentive for registration + UOB's promotion of $80 cash credit with min $1k spent within 30 days of card approval. Mind you, t hese terms were stated to end on 31 Oct , extracted below: S$80 Cash Credit for  UOB  One Account:  Limited to the first 500 new to  UOB  Deposits customers who either (i) deposit and maintain $5,000 or (ii) credit their salary, into their new  UOB  account for 6 consecutive months.
