Hi Ryan!

Assuming you only spend $200 on public transport (Bus + MRT), then the short answer is Concession Pass (Adult Monthly Travel Card).

With the Citi SMRT credit card, assuming you only use this card for public transport (at $200 a month), the rebate is only 1.7% for spending less than $200.

Total Savings: $3.40

Meanwhile, with an Adult Monthly Travel card, you only pay a flat $128 for Unlimited travel on both Bus and MRT rides.

Total Savings: $72 (+Bonus extra rides that you may not account for in the month with the Unlimited capacity)

Where's the best place for me to park my emergency funds? Should they be in the same account as my saving account, or separate? What's the best savings account for it?

I'm an undergrad who has no savings and would like to start saving by chucking a portion of my allowance into a new bank account every month. Which savings account would be the best?

I am a student waiting to enter NUS/SMU (4.5 years program). I have around $60k saved up. What is the best way to increase my savings? I most likely do not require any emergency funds at the moment.

I want to save about $370,000 in 10 years' time and stop work. I can start putting aside about $2400 towards savings and investments. But what's the best way to do this?

There's been a lot of discussion on the best bank accounts to use (for general savings). However, any advice for the best bank accounts for AUM >300k / >1mio respectively?
