i think every investment got its risk... if i'm like you i'll put the money in the bank and take the interest, that's more save.. u can put it as FD or at Alliance Saveplus acc..their interest rate is high which is up to 3.5% per year.. |

| Investment is not encouraging because it's quite risky for us except you are financial expert. I think the most effective way to save money is try to use washable diapers and secondhand clothes. Because baby grow up fast, you dont need to buy too much clothes to ur baby. Milk powder cannot be save because this is compulsory but did you feed ur baby breast milk? It can save a lot and good for baby. |

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.

| Did ur wife working? I think 2 ppl's salary can cover the expenses...If not u also can try investment but you must do some research before u invest or u can go to bank to seek advice from the financial consultant. |

| 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. |

Guess that the alliance saveplus is a new acc that alliance launch? Just do a research on websites, their interest rates is barely same with FD which is 3.5%, but without lockin period, I think put savings on there will be a more stable investment

if they dont have for baby stuff, u also can buy it at thrift shop.... I also save more money when I spend baby's clothes there.... then after years, just throw it away or give to someone else who have a baby |

I do saving my money at alliance bank and i got dividend from the interest... and yeah im also do an online business and alliance also help me a lot when i want to create an account their staff also friendly and helpful.... besides that, there's no transactions fee! like if u withdraw money at MEPS , still dont have any charge

Dont think that's a better choice, maybe she can consider to do a small online business first so that she can work & take care for her baby ... and if want to save & earn then alliance saveplus should be ok, cause no transaction fee and annual fees its' suit to business use.

Only do investment if you have extra money that you can afford to lose. Most of the time you will be at the risk of losing money rather than earning so I wouldn't count much on that. Prefer you could save your money at bank instead such as Alliance bank which offered up to 3.5% of interest for at least 100k saved.

Yeah online sales nowadays are very easy to start with, just make a Facebook page and you can start to promote all your stuff there, unlike last time where the only possible way to do business is to rent a shop. And if you plan to do online business do consider to register an Alliance bank account as they do not charge you for transaction fees, helps in saving a lot in the long run.

Investment also need to depend on luck one, too hard to predict what would happen even if you have all the knowledge about the stock market. I prefer to save my money at bank although earn a bit lesser but at least it is confirm earn.

I dont think you should judge other people like that, doesn't mean everything had to be branded only can wear...

Saveplus account provides an interest up to 3.5%, not bad. Your money is secured by PIDM too. I'm surprised that this account is not charging any transaction fees ,for other banks there are many charges imposed according to the transaction made. |

This will surely save alot ! No fees for every transaction. Besides, you are earning interest too. If you already have an existing Alliance Bank account,u can direct open Alliance SavePlus Account online. |

How about OCBC Business Banking ? The business banking only requires a low amount of deposit.  And their investment period can be as low as 1 month to 5 years.

Good suggestion. List out all the expenses first , then decide where to cut cost.
The money saved can keep for online business or put into bank. |

that's right, you are not suitable to do any investment now because you can't 100% get back your money in a short period. How abt do some part time job? like my friend, she do part time job as a piano teacher on weekends, I think you can go and do grab driver, the salary not bad

| Investment is too risk! Hope you can think properly, why don't you discuss w/ your wife? Did she work? If she work also then your financial problems can be overcome. |

| Yea, in this generation of us the inflation of the material price have effect us heavily. Especially those who have children and family that need twice income only can effort it. |

| Investment may be a small part and getting some part time income is the more stable like grab that can do with flexible time and the income is still quite high for a part time job. The extra income can help to reduce the financial stress of the family. |
