Tiq 1.62% 3-year endowment plan

It has been 10 months since I last talked about Tiq. Back then, they were advertising for a 1.68% 3-year endowment plan which I got for my mum.


This time, they are rolling out a 1.62% 3-year endowment plan with a minimum saving of $10k.
If you have extra cash lying around and wants a low risk avenue to park your $ (instead of dumping to crypto or REITS with volatility), you can consider this plan to diversify your money. I believe for those who jump into the crypto rabbit hole, these 1+% interests looks darn pathetic. I feel you. But crypto ultimately holds some risks as there's no strong regulation backing; even stablecoins. So I'm considering placing $10k of my cash here.

Also, this beats my DBS Multiplier interest of 1.60% and I had to jump through hoops ok. 

Registration

What I love about tiq is their fuss-free and simple sign-up. You can refer to my past posts where I blogged about my "investment" into them. I treat these as an alternative savings plan with additional protection benefits!
All you need is to visit this page, enter your details and the amount you'd like to save, and register your details with Singpass.

Do note that there's limited tranches, so I'm not sure when they will close the application. 

Referral


If you're keen on this 1.62% 3-year plan, you may wish to use my referral code - R104346. However, I must highlight that there's no perks/discounts on your end, so it's fine if you don't use it!

My intent of this post is to share another avenue for you to park your cash if you've run out of low-risk platforms.

Tiq Easy Save

There is also another plan called the Tiq Easy Save that offers "2% p.a. high guaranteed returns for first 6 years". The minimum savings is $10k. However, as I'm not comfortable to lock up my money for so long, I will not be getting this plan.


If you are keen to apply, you can refer to their cashback bundle here. 

As always, DYODD! :)

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

Starting 2023 with extra $9,979.20

Happy 2023~! I woke up feeling not very positive. It seems like I've brought forward my 2022 negative thoughts along. I ought to be more optimistic! Anyway, my best way of welcoming the new year is to count the new inflow of $ and here's my CPF interest for 2022: Have you check your CPF interest yet?

First CPF top up in Jan 2023 and tax relief concerns

Detailing my yearly CPF top-up and thoughts.  This is my 8th year of top-up. 1. Top-up $2.5k to Medisave via Paynow Did a $2,500 top up to my Medisave, bringing it to 2023 MA ceiling of $68,500. Done the same for my husband as well. 2. On hold - To top up $5.5k to SA or no? Contrary to the past where I top-up at the start of the year, I have decided to hold off the top-up. A) Running out of cash Firstly, I'm running out of cash. I'm berating myself for degrading to the past where I look forward to my monthly income for cashflow. So I can build up my $100k capital in savings account again, given the current high interest environment.  B) Hitting FRS soon = no tax relief Secondly, I'm concerned about reaching FRS too soon.  The FRS this year is $198,800. I'm now sitting on ~$157k SA which means $41,800 away from reaching this ceiling.  I know some people encouraged maxing this out ASAP. But, as I've crossed 6 digits annual income, maxing FRS soon meant lower tax relie
