Part 5 - Happy news on CRO and Crypto.com Ruby Card

Ever since WFH, I haven't been suffering from Monday blues as much.
I guess I only hate Mondays because I need to step into the office.

Anyway, happy news to share.


Firstly, congrats to those who signed up for crypto.com account when I posted about it (search my blog for crypto.com tags). Back then, I shared about their amazing sign-up promotion where you'd get SGD$100 CRO coins back with SGD$100 deposited. If you've signed up when I spoked about them in Part 1-Part 4 of my posts, you'd have seen good % increase on your CRO token!

Personally, my CRO coins have now > doubled! As of writing, the price has reached ATH. However, because these are staked, I can't cash any profits out, but it feels good to see the price appreciation!😬


Secondly, belated news but I've gotten my Crypto.com Ruby Metal Card!
This is actually my 2nd metal card, the first being SCB X card that I signed 2 years back.

As of now, I've only used my card for transport to get back 2% cashback in CRO coins. Very puny returns given my MRT costs less than $2 to and fro lol....

That said, I've been on a credit card spring cleaning spree/cancelling my cards. I only hold Amex cashback, DBS Taka and Crypto.com cards. That's a far cry from the past! In fact, I hold none of these 10 cards now! I'd aim to apply new cards only if they dangle good sign-up bonus :)

As I cut back on my cards, I'm also cutting back on my spendings. Actually I haven't been spending much, hence decided to cut back my cards as it gets difficult to track my bills - chicken and egg. For now, if crypto.com comes up with attractive grocery rebates like the past, I'd use it to maximise the returns.

US$25 referral bonus

If you are keen to sign up for crypto.com account and card as well and dont have friends' link, you may use my referral link or the code below :) Currently, their referral is at US$25. Pls refer to more details from their official site here.

Alternatively, you may wish to wait for upcoming referral promotion and hopefully, crypto.com will dangle new promos soon! I'll share if I come across those.

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
