Over the past few years, I have heard the following multiple times:
💬 Your chicken breast salad is expensive! It’s HK$58 (SGD 10) – why not eat something cheaper?
💬Your personal trainer is pricy – Why not gym on your own?
💬The economy is bad now – Cut your spending!
After I graduated, my first credit card was the Citi Cash Back card.
Like all cash rebate cards, it gives you 1-2% rebate, similar to buying things at a discount.
💳 I have been using this card for 9 years because I have been taught at a young age to keep SAVING.
Parents/Schools/Friends/Colleagues have always taught us to save more for the future.
💰 Granted – Savings are important – I usually save at least 50% of my paycheque monthly.
But how come no one ever teaches us to
✅ make more money?
✅ write a good CV/LinkedIn?
✅ climb the corporate ladder?
✅ negotiate for salary increase?
✅ promote our visibility?
✅ have a side hustle?
✅ invest for passive income to increase our total income?
Therefore, 2 weeks ago,
I decided to replace this Cash Back card with Premier Miles card.
WHY?
The reason is simple:
☀️ I want to change my mindset from scarce to creating MORE income☀️
Every month, I spend around HK$15,000 excluding rent/mortgage (SGD2,600).
Even if I use the cash rebate card, saving 2% of that HK$15,000, it only saves me $300 monthly (SGD 50).
✍🏻 I even sat down during one weekend to think of ways to reduce my expenses but I really could not.
Then I realised:
☀️ Why don’t I focus on making more instead of saving more?
☀️☀️There are only so much you can save, but there are much more potential to your earnings!
That’s the moment I replaced my credit card with the new Premier Miles Card because…
🔴 I start to accumulate more overseas clients
🔴 I want to attend overseas training to upskill myself
Swiping my Premier Miles Card reinforces the mentality of thinking big and creating more.
I start to spend more time and money to increase my value.
Always focus on making more than saving more.
