CLEO AUGUST

I was looking around inside MRT train, when I saw a guy very engrossed looking into a magazine. It certainly looks interesting to me too... I was trying not to spend any more $ but then, ended up buying the CLEO magazine too!!!!

The most intesting article which I scanned from Pg 68 of August Edition.... I decided to do a quick calculation based on S$2,000 gross income.


10% (S$200)- Unexpected expenses like wedding and birthday gifts
10% (S$200) - Dream Vacation or a new car
10% (S$200) - Treats and Splurges
10% (S$200) - Retirement
60% (S$1200) - Everyday expenses but NO shopping...

Using the gross account, it looks pretty logical way... However if we take the 20% CPF into consideration... left only S$1600.
10% (S$160)- Unexpected expenses like wedding and birthday gifts
10% (S$160) - Dream Vacation or a new car
10% (S$160) - Treats and Splurges
10% (S$160) - Retirement
60% (S$960) - Everyday expenses but NO shopping...

Does it looks okay now? seems okay hor..

but then....

I dunno how to save :(

The rich get richer because they have extra money for investments and roll more money.

The poor get poorer because any increase in daily necessities eat into their savings.
