5 Things I would not do if i win the 12 million TOTO - forex trading yields

5 Things I would not do if i win the 12 million TOTO ~ forex trading yields

Inspired by my favourite blogger who blogged about 10 things he wouldnt do if he won the USD 900 million powerball draw on 19th January 2016 in US, i decided to do up a list of 5 things i would not do should i win Singapores yearly Chinese New Year grand TOTO draw. This year,
the amount up for grab is SGD 12 million! 

Here are 5 things i would NOT do if i win the TOTO!

1. Not hire a fund or financial manager to manage my money for investments and savings. (I have never handled so much money and too many reports showing how people blow up their winnings within months.)
2. Tell everyone and announce to the whole world. Its good to share the joy but i would also be inviting trouble if kidnappers come along or strangers making friends with me. In time to come, people might know but thats about it. If you know, you know. 
3. Spend it on luxury cars or property. Maybe just a normal car for transport and pay up the mortgage plus some small gifts for parents, family and close friends.  
4. Spend any money until after say 6 months or so. Impulsive buying is always wrong and waiting lets the hype die down on me. 
5. Forget less fortunate people in the society. Deeply touched by what Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook did upon delivery of his child. Giving away most of his facebook shares worth over USD 900 million to charity. Thats unbelievable!   

As i was thinking about all that money, i decided to look around the internet and see what are the most expensive or most common things that Singaporean do or buy with money on their hands.


What you could buy or do with S$12 million in Singapore!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
162,162 1 Day Trips to Universal Studios Singapore

@ S$74 per Adult
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
153,846 cycles on The Singapore Flyer

@ S$78 for family of 3 (2 adults 1 child)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12 Ferraris with COE

@ S$900,000 each

800,000 sets of extra value meal with Hello Kitty
plush toy at McDonalds

@ S$15 each
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12,257 nights at Marina Bay Sands Singapore

@ S$979 per night (the most expensive one)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

UPDATE 18 Feb 2016 - Prize winnings have been increased to S$13.9 million! It could go higher depending on the total number of people buying.

Should I Open An OCBC 360 Account - forex trading.co.za

Should I Open An OCBC 360 Account ~ forex trading.co.za

The interest rates for the money we put in our banks here have always been low. And they are consistently in the region of 0.01 to 0.05 percent per annum. 

An interest rate war recently started between DBS and OCBC offering higher rates than the rest. 

DBS offered the Multiplier scheme which enable you to earn a maximum of 2.08% more on your savings. However, to fully benefit from this scheme, you would require to credit a salary of SGD15k which is a tall order for many people.

The OCBC 360 account is probably a better option looking at the following criterias;

3 criterias to be met in order to earn that 3.05% interest. 

1) Credit your salary into this account every month. (min SGD 2,000)

2) Spend $400 every month on your OCBC credit card

3) Pay 3 bills from this account every month 

The first and third condition is fairly simple as crediting of salary just requires a one-off arrangement and bill payments, oh i have lots of bills, therefore 3 bills is no problem.  However, to spend $400 using of credit card might require some carefully planning as not every one my purchases are feasible to use credit card. But the best part of this is that by simply fulfilling any of the criteria, i would already earn 1.05% which is higher than most banks and as interest earned are credited every month, i can earn the interest next month if i do not fulfill its criteria this month. 

 OCBC 360 is definitely the way to go!

Update 2016
The interest rates and requirements have changed. Click to their page to find out more. It still offers the highest rates in town.
