5 Money tips to follow this Ghost Month

Apart from impulsively spending huge sums of money, borrowing money during Ghost Month is probably not the best idea especially if it’s for an unnecessary purpose. Instead, prioritize your needs and hold-off any big spending until things start picking up. 

When budget is tight and things are slow, it’s best to give more focus on what you actually need. Prioritize the most important expenses instead of buying non-essential items. It can be as simple as cutting back on eating out or settling your monthly bills first before spending your income. 

Ghost Month happens every year and you may encounter many other slowdowns in the future. That’s why it’s important to be prepared. Start building your emergency fund by setting aside at least 10% of your take-home pay each time you receive your income. Do this consistently and before you know it, you’ve saved enough money to last a rainy day!

Apart from starting your emergency fund, make sure that you’re putting your savings where you can get more value for your money. With CIMB Bank, you can enjoy the best-in-market interest rate of 4% p.a!

You have three ways to enjoy higher interest. First, is to maintain minimum balance of PHP 100,000 in your UpSave and/or GSave account. Your second option is to grow your Average Daily Balance (ADB) by PHP 1,000 each month in your UpSave and/or GSave account to enjoy a higher rate on your savings. Plus, if you maintain a minimum of PHP 5,000 in your account, you are eligible for FREE Life Insurance coverage that’s worth your ADB up to PHP 250,000.

If you’re a student or a fresh grad aged 18-25 years old as of July 1, 2021, the CIMB Savings Starter Pack lets you enjoy a higher interest in your UpSave and/or fully verified GSave account.
