All the best tips to save yourself serious cash this year!
CHANGE Your Account
No matter how much you earn, saving is tough and bank interest rates are often pretty poor. But some do offer better rates than others, so it’s worth shopping around. Some offer introductory bonus rates of up to 3 per cent for the first three months, while others offer extended bonus rates. Compare accounts at comparison sites like SingSaver, MoneySmart and ValuePenguin to find what’s best for you.
Get Paid To Be OPINIONATED
Earn a little extra by signing up to complete online surveys for cash. One of the most popular sites is www. mysurvey.com.sg, which is free to join and gives you points you can redeem for products, vouchers or gift cards. Typically each survey will earn 10 to 500 points, and 1,200 points roughly translates to $10 into your PayPal account or a $10 gift voucher. Money for jam!
Save On FLIGHTS
According to research conducted by skyscanner.com.au, the best time to book flights is 17 weeks before your departure date. This can save you as much as 5 per cent of your total cost – cash for cocktails when you get there!
Become a SHOPPER
If you love shopping and travel a lot, sign up with AirFrov (www.airfrov. com), a platform that connects you with buyers looking for products from a certain country. Look for buyer requests and if it coincides with your trip, offering to buy the product for them can help you earn some cash as well!
