Beginner’s Guide to Saving Money in Singapore

Living in Singapore isn’t cheap. With rising costs and temptations everywhere, it can feel tough to set money aside. But whether you’re saving for a rainy day, your BTO, or a well-deserved holiday, getting into the habit now can make a big difference.

Read this simple guide to help you get started.

#1: SET A CLEAR GOAL

Don’t just say “I want to save more.” Be specific! Are you saving for an emergency fund, a new laptop, or a holiday?

Once you have a clear goal, break it into monthly targets. Open a separate savings account to track progress. Naming it something fun like Japan Trip Fund can keep you motivated.

#2: LET YOUR MONEY WORK

Put your savings in an account that earns interest. Local banks like DBS, OCBC, and UOB offer savings accounts that reward you for crediting your salary or paying bills.

Every little bit of interest adds up, and your money grows even while you sleep.

#3: EAT OUT LESS

Eating out often can burn a hole in your pocket quickly. Cooking at home a few times a week can save you serious cash and help you eat healthier.

Even simple home-cooked meals cost less than most hawker or café food. Plus, you’ll waste less and stretch your grocery dollar further.

#4: USE THE SAVINGS BUCKETS

Organize your savings into three buckets namely:

a. Emergency fund: For unexpected expenses like medical bills or home repairs

b. Short- to mid-term goals: For things like education, weddings or travel

c. Long-term goals: Retirement or financial independence

Having separate goals helps you stay focused and on track.

#5: BE CAREFUL WITH CREDIT CARDS

Credit cards can be useful for rewards, but only if you pay off the full amount every month. Otherwise, interest charges add up fast.

If you find yourself carrying a balance, switch to cash or debit to stay in control of your spending.

#6: PAY BILLS ON TIME

Late payments lead to extra fees and can hurt your credit score. Set reminders or automate payments to avoid unnecessary charges.

If you can’t pay on time, contact the provider early. They might offer an extension or payment plan.

IN A NUTSHELL

Saving money doesn’t mean you have to give up fun. Start small, stay consistent and track your progress. Even saving an extra S$50 a month puts you on the right path. Small habits today build a more secure future tomorrow.

Planning a trip to Melbourne?

A marvelous trip starts with marvelous accommodations, and that’s why we’ve handpicked a list of awesomely rated places, your starting point for your Australia adventures.

Let’s dive right in! 🇦🇺

Melbourne Lifestyle Apartments

Agoda Rating: 9.5 (2.1K+ reviews)

First up, we have Melbourne Lifestyle Apartments, nestled along Yarra River, between neighborhoods like Chinatown and Queen Victoria Market (within 4 km).

Various apartments are available for booking, ranging from one-bedroom hideaways to spacious sub-penthouses.

Cap off each day with a dip in the indoor pool if you’d like.

Sitting squarely in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, Treasury on Collins is a 4-star option.

You can wander to the Block Arcade and the SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium on foot, since they are just 600 m away.

With wonderful hospitality and a prime central location, The StandardX has won itself 3rd place on our list.

Bad Money Habits We Grew Up With (& Why We Must Unlearn Them)

Money talk isn’t exactly dinner table conversation in many Singaporean homes. You can bet we’ve all heard the usual: “Don’t spend unnecessarily”, “Save your angbao money”, or worse, just silence when it comes to CPF, loans, or budgeting.

Whether it was your mom, your dad, your loud uncle at Chinese New Year, or your office colleague who still pays minimum on their credit card, the financial “wisdom” we grew up with often came with good intentions but not always good outcomes.

So here’s a real talk list of bad financial lessons many of us were taught.

#1: NO CREDIT IS GOOD CREDIT

Some of us were raised with the fear of credit cards. “Ah girl, don’t take credit card ah. Later you kena debt!”

My friend’s parents had their struggles with borrowing, so they swung the other way and taught them to avoid debt completely. But here’s the thing. No credit history can actually work against you.

Without any credit activity, like responsibly using a card and paying it off, you might find it hard to get a loan or rent a flat. Credit isn’t the enemy. Misusing it is.

#2: DON’T WASTE = REPLACE EVERYTHING

You know the classic auntie logic: “Don’t waste money on repairing lah, just buy new one.”

Whether it was a microwave, a pair of shoes, or even a fan, if it broke, we just tossed it and replaced it. Never mind that a simple fix might cost less and last longer. Somewhere along the way, the “waste not, want not” principle got twisted.

#3: SWIPE FIRST, THINK LATER

Living beyond our means is something many of us saw growing up but didn’t realize was a problem until adulthood.

Some elders would say, “Just put on card first lah, pay later.” But later never really came. Buying branded goods on installment plans, splurging at Robinsons or TANGS sales, or upgrading gadgets every year became the norm, not the exception. Saving up first before spending? Almost unheard of.

#4: NO PLAN, NO PROBLEM (UNTIL IT’S A PROBLEM)

Planning for the future? Wah, so far one. Whether it was not having insurance, skipping CPF top-ups, or not saving for retirement, the mindset was very much “today first, tomorrow worry later.”

Problem is, later always comes and then we scramble.

#5: ONE-DAY MILLIONAIRE SYNDROME

You know this one. Payday comes, and suddenly it’s crab dinner, new clothes, kopi upgraded to Starbucks. Next thing you know, end of the month liao, and it’s instant noodles until the next pay comes in.

It wasn’t that our parents were reckless. Just that budgeting wasn’t something they were taught either. So what did we learn? That spending is reward and saving is optional. Oops!

#6: MONEY TALK = TABOO

In many households, money talk is more hush-hush than your cousin’s secret engagement.

We don’t discuss how much we earn, how much we owe, or whether we’re struggling. The result? Most of us grew up with a very murky idea of how money works. We weren’t taught about insurance, taxes, or loans. We were just expected to figure it out, somehow.

IN A NUTSHELL

Our parents did their best, but now it’s our turn to get smart.

Start small. Track your spending, ask questions, learn what you missed. There are loads of free financial literacy programs now. DBS, OCBC, and even CPF have online tools to help you budget, plan for retirement, or understand your savings options. Nonprofits like Credit Counselling Singapore (CCS) also offer workshops if you’re feeling a little lost about managing debt or building your credit.

There’s no shame in learning money skills as an adult. Better late than broke!
