10 Simple Ways To Save Money

CHANGE Your Account

No matter how much you earn, saving is tough and bank interest rates are often pretty poor. But some do offer better rates than others, so it’s worth shopping around. Some offer introductory bonus rates of up to 3 per cent for the first three months, while others offer extended bonus rates. Compare accounts at comparison sites like RinggitPlus and iMoney to find what’s best for you.

Get Paid To Be OPINIONATED

Earn a little extra by signing up to complete online surveys for cash. One of the most popular sites is www. mobrog.com/my, which is free to join and pays you via PayPal for every survey completed. Typically, each survey will earn you on RM2 and RM10 on average. You’ll also earn when you recommend friends – you get paid once they’ve completed three surveys. Money for jam!

Save On FLIGHTS

According to research conducted by skyscanner.com.au, the best time to book flights is 17 weeks before your departure date. This can save you as much as 5 per cent of your total cost – cash for cocktails when you get there!

Become a SHOPPER

If you love shopping and travel a lot, sign up with BuyTheWay (www. buytheway.com.my), a platform that connects you with buyers looking for products from a certain country. Look for buyer requests and if it coincides with your trip, offering to buy the product for them can help you earn some cash as well!
