Every solid financial plan begins with having sufficient savings. That’s why saving is the bedrock of good Money Habits.
It provides a cushion for emergencies (like home repairs, medical bills, or even a new fridge). It also lets you seize opportunities without relying on credit, and without disrupting your long-term savings and investment goals.
Saving is in POSB’s DNA — we have helped Singapore save since 1877. You might even have saved alongside our savings mascot, Smiley the Squirrel!
The key to saving regularly is learning to manage your expenses. Here’s a look at some ways to juggle needs and wants — and hit your savings goals.
Set up a standing instruction to transfer your targeted amount into a non-spending account.
With savings done, you have the rest available for monthly expenses.
The Money In / Money Out feature in digibank lets you see where your money is going. This helps you decide the expenses to limit, and budget better.
Look for inflation-fighting deals such as those on POSB and DBS Credit Cards. You can also set a spending limit to curb your spending!
Experts recommend at least 10% a month. But you can aim for what’s comfortable for you and review regularly.
To check if you have enough emergency cash, just use Plan on digibank.
