Debt doesn\u2019t just limit spending power \u2014 it holds you back from opportunities and long-term planning. With more individuals seeking help to manage unsecured debt<\/a>, initiatives like the Financial Capability Building Support Programme<\/a> (FCBS) have been launched to help low-income Singaporeans improve their financial well-being.<\/p>

Whether you\u2019re tackling debt or looking to grow your nest egg, a financial reset offers a new start to build better money habits and take steps towards your financial goals. HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok Executive Committee member WO2 (NS) Lim June Liang, whose job involves providing business support and trend analysis, shares his tips for making smarter money moves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Instead of turning to self-declared investment \u201cgurus\u201d on platforms like TikTok, look to reliable sources like MoneySense<\/a> by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Ministry of Manpower, or the Institute of Financial Literacy<\/a>, a collaboration between MAS and Singapore Polytechnic International.<\/p>

Start with the basics \u2014 understanding budgets, investments and financial products \u2014 and gradually progress to more advanced strategies. \u201cBeing able to understand and make informed choices give us the confidence to navigate the financial landscape,\u201d says June Liang. \u201cIt empowers us to grow our wealth, avoid common pitfalls like overspending or accumulating unnecessary debt, and prepare for unexpected expenses.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Not all budgets are created equal, but the right one can make a big difference. June Liang breaks down popular options: \u201cThe zero-based budget<\/a> is ideal for tracking income and expenses, while the pay-yourself-first budget<\/a> prioritises savings and debt repayment. The envelope system<\/a> helps control spending, the 50\/30\/20 budget<\/a> allocates funds to needs, wants and savings, and the no-budget budget<\/a> focuses on lowering spending and avoiding debt.\u201d<\/p>

Choosing the right budget depends on your goals, financial situation, lifestyle preference and income stability. Start by assessing your interest level: If financial planning feels overwhelming, opt for a simpler method that\u2019s easier to stick to. Next, evaluate your debt situation and upcoming expenses. Managing credit card debt or planning for major costs like a wedding? Let these priorities guide your approach.<\/p>

Lastly, consider your income stability. Fixed-income earners might benefit from structured methods like the 50\/30\/20 rule, while freelancers and gig workers may prioritise covering essentials, notes June Liang. Long-term goals, like saving for retirement or buying a home, should also shape your choice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Before choosing between a high-interest savings account or a fixed deposit, ask yourself: How quickly will I need access to this money? When weighing your options, consider how each product aligns with your financial goals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cHigh-interest savings accounts are ideal for short-term goals, like saving for a specific purchase, because they allow easy access to your funds,\u201d notes June Liang. \u201cFor long-term needs such as retirement, fixed deposits \u2014 which lock in funds for a specified term \u2014 may be a better option due to their typically higher and more predictable interest rates.\u201d<\/p>

It\u2019s also essential to evaluate the fees and penalties associated with these banking products. \u201cYearly fees or penalties for early withdrawals can significantly erode your savings,\u201d June Liang advises. Be sure to review these details before committing your funds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

If you\u2019re struggling to keep up with debt repayments, June Liang advises starting with a clear assessment of your financial situation. \u201cPrioritise paying off high-interest loans, like credit card debt, and avoid borrowing from other sources to cover existing debt,\u201d he recommends.<\/p>

Next, pair your budgeting method with a savings plan, and don\u2019t hesitate to seek expert help. Credit Counselling Singapore<\/a>, which runs the FCBS, provides personalised debt advice and assistance with restructuring your debt. Additionally, enrolling in financial literacy programmes can help you avoid future debt and improve your financial planning skills.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For beginner investors, especially, setting clear goals is essential. June Liang recommends starting with the SMART criteria: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-based goals. \u201cClear goals guide your decisions and set realistic expectations based on the type of investments and their historical performance,\u201d he explains.<\/p>

First, assess your risk tolerance, which is influenced by factors like age, financial situation and investment objectives. June Liang advises diversifying portfolios to reduce risk and align your investments with both short- and long-term goals, as well as staying informed. \u201cRead up on market trends and economic indicators, such as geopolitical events that create volatility and affect investor sentiment,\u201d he adds, cautioning against impulsive decisions based on market hype.<\/p>

For a disciplined approach, he suggests implementing dollar-cost averaging, where a fixed amount is invested regularly. \u201cThis strategy reduces the impact of market volatility and lowers the average cost per share over time,\u201d he says.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In addition to avoiding impulse buys, comparing prices, joining loyalty programmes and waiting for sales like Black Friday, June Liang has a few other tips on being a savvy shopper. \u201cI use cashback apps like ShopBack and combine them with promo codes or other deals to maximise savings,\u201d he shares. \u201cFor purchases with instalment financing, I always calculate the total cost, including interest, to ensure it fits within my monthly budget.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Short-term goals, typically defined as those achievable within five years, can include repaying credit card debt or saving for a vacation. Long-term goals, on the other hand, might involve funding a child\u2019s university education or preparing for retirement. \u201cSetting clear short- and long-term goals provides clarity in financial planning,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt allows you to balance immediate satisfaction with progress towards longer-term aspirations.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The earlier you start saving and investing, the more time your money has to grow. Beginning early also allows you to spread out your savings efforts, making it easier to manage smaller, consistent contributions \u2014 rather than scrambling to save large sums later in life. It provides flexibility in your lifestyle choices and reduces future financial stress.<\/p>

In your 20s, June Liang suggests exploring low-cost investments and contributing to a retirement account to take advantage of compounding interest. Use this time to learn about different investment options and how they work. By your 30s, as your income grows, increase your retirement contributions, while accounting for significant life changes like starting a family or buying a home. You should also ensure that you have adequate health and life insurance if you have dependents.<\/p>

When your 40s roll around, reassess your retirement savings and adjust as needed. Reduce debt as much as possible to avoid hindering your ability to save. If you\u2019re behind on savings, consider higher-yield retirement accounts to catch up before reaching 50.<\/p>

As the saying goes, the best time to start saving was yesterday \u2014 and the next best time is now. \u201cStarting early not only helps your money grow, but also eases anxieties about the future, leaving you free to focus on other life goals,\u201d says June Liang.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
