Finally opened a savings account with DBS Multiplier! Up till yesterday, i was still confused and couldn’t differentiate the difference between Savings and Emergency funds.

Poured all my savings into 1 account and treated it as an savings emergency fund which doesn’t make any sense. Upon realising and thinking hard, i decided to opened an account via the DBS Multiplier as it does not have any minimum requirement apart from the other accounts available. I hope what i did was right and please advise if I’m doing it correctly?😭

“Out of sight, out of mind” works best for me with regards to my emergency funds. 😝
