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

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.
