Chinese New Year Budgeting (2022) – How Much Does It Cost To Follow Tradition?

As one half of a young, married couple who’s just moved into our own place, I am only just starting to realise that Chinese New Year costs a truckload of money. Since we’re about 2 weeks away from Feb 1, 2022, I decided that I need to start budgeting for CNY. I compiled a list of CNY traditions and superstitions, and then I noted down the costs involved.

Alaiyah (Engineer)

Syamim is a very friendly and trustworthy financial advisor. He is always offering affordable and most sustainable policies that best suit his client’s needs. His suggestions/recommendations are comfortable and realistic which i believe many will appreciate. Thank you for planning my finances with me!

Fatima (Pharmacist) & Khai (Engineer)

I met Syamim through my husband as I wanted to engage the services of a financial consultant that can manage both my personal finances and shared finances with my husband. I was hesitant at first as I already had a financial consultant before meeting Syamim but after hearing about his excellent services, I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised during the first meeting with Syamim - he is a knowledgeable consultant yet breaks it down such that it is easier for me to understand the different insurance policies and financial tools that are available. He provides options and plans/ideas tailored specifically to my finances and lifestyle. He also always ensures that I have a holistic understanding of my financial landscape and goals in life. I highly recommend Syamim to anyone who is looking for a competent financial consultant who is dedicated and thorough in his work.

Iskandar (Civil Servant)

I chose to met Syamim as he was a very welcoming and friendly person. Overall, all the financial planning sessions were very insightful and Syamim explained everything clearly. He advised me accordingly according to my budget and goals. Throughout the sessions, he was very easy-going and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this meeting to my friends and family!

Sharon (Management Trainee)

I Met Syamim randomly because I signed up to get a personal finance booklet on IG. But best decision ever. “I wont advise you to invest until 6 months later, after we have tracked your cash flow” “There are more packages but I won’t sell those, cause they are really not worth. I can run through them but will refer you to someone else if you really want to buy.” “Me: I don’t really know how cpf and income tax works Syamim: *prepares an entire ppt and lecture to educate me” “Me: I have random insurance that my parents buy from different companies, but I don’t really know what they are. Syamim: *makes me send him screenshots from SingPass, pdfs from AXA and the GE app on my dad’s phone to find out what I have.” If those quotes weren’t enough, the final stroke for me was; “Syamim: *pulls out an excel sheet 10 mins into our first meeting to start calculating my cash flow and planning for things like holidays to marriage to dental appointments.” I have met more than 5 financial advisors, but all seemed to just want to “grow my wealth”. While that is important, I think understanding my wealth and giving me handles to manage it is much more important. At our age, really think financial literacy is the way to go. Syamim keeps up to date and is a really good teacher, even asked him if he considered being one. What he does is to give you the necessary knowledge to manage your own finances and make the most well informed decisions. Coming full circle, he is everything a financial advisor should be but usually isn’t - giving you good financial advise and lets you decide. What everyone else does is tell you how to grow your wealth, how to invest, how to beat inflation, another savings plan, another plan to diversify, or simply instilling some fear of the future to help you ‘invest’ early. So for all the lost souls and fresh graduates, Syamim is definitely the guy for you. I’ve actually never met anyone else who pulls out an excel sheet to plan my finances instead of drawing me some triangle, timeline or graph. He is open to teaching and advising those who already has insurance plans too, no strings attached!! So feel free to reach out. If you feel bad just get him a drink though he will probably tell you to wait till you gain enough income to buy him one :))

Firdaus (Civil Servant)

Syamim has been a trustworthy and reliable financial advisor to me and my family. The solutions he laid out for us has always been very easy to understand and caters to our needs and life stages. I recommend anyone who wants to have a fuss-free advisor to meet Syamim as I believe everyone will stand to benefit regardless of your current life stage.

Nasruddin (DevOps Engineer)

I've known Syamim during our NS days and he's a very kind and approachable person. I would definitely say one of the benefits of meeting him is the idea of retirement planning especially at our age right now. The saving structures and systems he comes up with is also beneficial. Not too hard, neither is it too insignificant. Easily said, Syamim doesn't hard sell you anything. Knowing him , all he ever wants to do is to help people out financially. Obviously he can't give you the fish. He'll teach you how to get them, especially on how to manage your finances. That's what I've been looking for after all these years of searching. I would most definitely recommend Syamim to my friends. In fact I have list of names to recommend him to. If he's not anywhere near my standards, I wouldn't even consider recommending. By far, he is the most understanding, professional and hard working adviser I've known. Thanks for helping me out a lot Syamim. Especially taking so much of your time to plan for me financially. Going out of your way just to schedule a time slot with me. Really appreciate all your kindness and may you succeed in in this life and the hereafter.
