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

Cashing partial BTC out at 50%+ profit

My first foray into crypto was during the hype. Back in Feb 2021 During Feb 2021 to Jun 2022, I added in bit by bit - DCA as what they say. BTC, ETH, MATIC, SOL and even the horror LUNA. Thereafter, as crypto crashed, I stopped, praying one day it will rise back. And today, as I found that BTC is now at ATH, I decided to cash out 1/4 of my BTC for some profits. It's still a far cry from the amount I've lost, but I'm glad I could recoup some losses. Just to detail for my future reference, I transferred my BTC from ledger to coinbase. And sold my BTC on coinbase to SGD, incurring an atrocious fee of $130 and GST of $12. Gone are the days of cheap transaction fees.  Please let me know if there are wiser/cost effective options. In total, what I took back was a profit of 50%.  May BTC rise up more so I can cash out at 100% profit next. -dated 9 Mar 2024-

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.
