Ryan002 You should probably save it. Once you get up to 5k, invest it. If you don't know how to invest, I suggest a 3 or 5 year fixed deposit. While the interest still won't beat the inflation rate, you will at least get 0.4% instead of the standard 0.125%.

Good luck!

Basics Investment Knowledge

Hmm... something for your reading pleasure.

Investment FAQ | HSBC Singapore

Nope. I am not from HSBC. I am not even in the financial industry and is probably not the best person to ask if you need more detailed information.

I see. Alright, I see your point.

Actually I still have a few years before I enter the working world. NS then Uni for 4 years. Just thinking how I can attempt to do something with my cash rather than leaving it stagnant.

Although saving it for rainy days is a viable option too..

Any other suggestions? Don't mind just hearing them out.
