💫 Focus on INCREASING your income instead of saving more!

ree

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.


 


🧠 What about you?


🧠 How do you focus on making more?


🧠 How do you increase your value?


🧠 How big do you think?
