Do you think it would be a good idea if I do daily saving into smartly and then withdraw when I have to pay for my premium for my insurance?

As I'm a student trying to do a forced saving. I was thinking of using the small return earn by smartly to earn a bit of extra cash while doing a daily forced saving and then withdraw the amount need for the premium while keeping the extra return still in smartly account. Should I do a 10/10 profile or a lower profile if I'm doing this?

Regular investing into smartly/roboadvisor is good. But your idea of withdrawing it to pay insurance premium is not.

Investments will fluctuate and by withdrawing the investments at its downturn point would actually hurt the portfolio returns in the long term.

If you need the daily savings to pay off insurance premiums, you should put it into a bank deposit or Singapore savings bonds. Just withdraw the singapore savings bonds 1 month before the premium due date.
