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

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. DBS token

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.
