Doppel Turbocharged January 29, 2018 Share January 29, 2018 I keep a few hundred dollars on hand most of the time, because I need the cash to do "Pai Dai Chee" (bad things in Hokkien). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratovarius Turbocharged January 29, 2018 Share January 29, 2018 Have a few k at home for emergency use. For this case, does fire insurance cover the 10k that got burnt to dust? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic January 29, 2018 Share January 29, 2018 First person I thought about when I saw the topic was my sifu. @enye , people want to know why you would rather keep the 700k under your bed than in the bank. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this case, does fire insurance cover the 10k that got burnt to dust? if they do cover, then SCDF is going to get very busy soon .... Singapore so backward how to go cashless true also ... sometimes got to ask shopping service desk where is the nearest ATM when need to pay for something more than $20 ... but this can help me not to overspend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence, but it's a dead silly reason at our age and above. Maybe if u like to go casino and only bring 200 dollars there, then that's a valid reason. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first bought my flat, the fire insurance cover furniture, valuables and maybe reno (not too sure). what I meant is more fires will be happening if ppl can just claim they are like hoseyboh or enye ... who keep more than 700k under their beds or biscuit tins. huh. lol u in JC or secondary school ar, need this to help control spending?! No offence, but it's a dead silly reason at our age and above. Maybe if u like to go casino and only bring 200 dollars there, then that's a valid reason. temptation has no boundaries ... but luckily I don't go casinos ... well, actually I dunno how to play there ... and don't want to either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
