Alliance Saveplus acc dun got lock-in peroid, but you need to put big amount of money then can get higher interest rate.. |
Well if you dont have that much money on hand you can just put in at least 20k then can get 1.8% of interest already, well surely you can get more with FD but the problem is you cant take out the money for at least a year, think about when you suddenly need to use it...

Well putting your money in bank is one way of investment also, one that has 0 risk. Whenever I have some leftover from my monthly salary I would just put inside my Alliance bank acc, after awhile the money did increase by quite a bit even without me doing anything about it, so I would say putting your money in bank is good if you don't have any knowledge about investing in stock market.

I agree that Investment is not encouraging as in your situation, you shall not risk your money. What if you lose all the money? There will be a big financial problem then. Plus your salary is not high , secure your finance future first.

Perhaps you can ask for baby things from your siblings/cousins??? Mayb they will have some extra/used baby things but still in good condition. My aunt always give out some new baby things to others. You can save some money here :)

Same with my thought too. An online business or extra part-time job will surely earn you some income. Try find out some job during your free time. Make use of the social media ,there are lots of part time job for you to choose.

Why don't you start with a simple financial plan? List down your compulsory budgeting first e.g your household, bill, rent, loans, etc. Minimize your spending and keep the remaining for saving. Suggesting you to create one other bank account just for saving and do not take that money from that account unless you have to.
