Monthly Expense: 2021 February

Another month, another tracking.. 1/6 there to annual budget report. Exciting to fill up my tracker up tbh.. hope I'm not the only weird one.  

Expense 2021 ~Feb

This month was marginally higher than Jan 2021 despite a shorter month.

While food/groceries fell lower; main contribution was due to Birthday month, so I am paying less for food this month and also shorter month. However, I can see my groceries fee coming up much higher compared to Jan.. mainly due to the fact that I've used up my groceries voucher (was diligently portioning them out). We can expect this category to rise sharply next month due to higher food and groceries costs.. reckon close to SGD1,000. 

The rest under Basic remains relatively stable for now, and I also don't foresee any bump coming up for the coming months. 

The excess also maintains relatively stable less the entertainment as I had some nights out drinking which explains the higher cost here. 

On another note, I've paid to get premium features on my tracking app using money I earned from Google Rewards. I just want to pay back to the service that I've used for more than 4 years. Support what you like before they go under. 

Cheers

As I always say; every cent saved, is every cent that can be compounded.

Google has been rolling out with amazing apps that enable you to earn some money, as I’ve covered in my expense post, I bought a new android phone to replace my 3 year old iPhone 7.

Today, I’d love to share a good app that help you earn a little money that can be used on Google play-store. To be honest, I am not sure if iPhone can use this but if iPhone users can use GooglePay, they should also be able to install this as well.

This app will allow you to take some very short survey (less than 1 minute) to earn a few cents which you can use in Google play-store or as money.

I’ve used this to buy “Battle Pass” in Genshin Impact as well as paid for premium for some of my Apps. In actual fact, these are money that I won’t use if not for this but this enable me to indulge in a bit of more fun without spending money.

Hack

If you really plan to capitalize on this; highest return, is from selecting that you’ve dropped by any location in the survey, and mentioned that you paid via credit card (doesn’t matter if you purchase in store or ordered online).

Wrap-up

While I’ve used my android phone since I bought it on 9/9, monthly bonuses I’ve gotten from the app is around $8 which is still good for free money.
