Don’t do these things during a recession

Lobang: https://www.moneydigest.sg/dont-do-these-things-during-a-recession/

According to a senior economist from DBS bank, Singapore is very likely out of a full-fledged recession. To be exact, a recent news report in April this year revealed that our economy grew by 0.2% in the first quarter.

While it’s good news, it might be too early to rejoice over the numbers. Economists noted that the trend does not necessarily mean that the economy is doing well. But it’s on its baby steps to pre-pandemic levels.

Since COVID-19 has been with us for 1.5 years and will eventually become endemic, it’s always wise to prepare for rainy weather. If you share the same sentiments, don’t do these things during a recession.

#1: Accept the request to be a cosigner

Maybe your long-time best friend or a family member has requested your help to be a cosigner for a loan they’re planning to take. But in uncertain times, it’s better not to accept the plea.

No matter how much you can vouch for the person’s personality to repay the loan, nothing is an absolute guarantee. Just think about the possible consequences should the borrower disappears or is simply unable to pay back the loan due to sudden unemployment or downward spiralling financial status.

#2: Taking out a personal loan

Speaking of debts, it’s advisable that you don’t pick up a personal loan when the economy is terrible.

That new car you’ve been dreaming of having or that private housing you would like to own with your future spouse can wait. During a recession, you may lose your job on short notice, which will significantly affect your ability to repay your monthly loans. The worse thing is to be faced with bankruptcy should the situation aggravates.

#3: Slack on your job

Unless you’re planning to force your superior to fire you, now’s not the time to slack on your job. 

Yes, working from home is still the default as Singapore slowly moves to Phase 3 (Heightened Alert). But that doesn’t mean you can take this opportunity to produce mediocre work. If you want to prove that you’re worthy of the salary or position you’re holding, be sure to demonstrate that you’re an indispensable team member.

#4: Make sudden investments

It may be tempting to put your money into investments right now, considering that you don’t want to be working your arse off and still possibly be on the company’s chopping board when there’s an economic slowdown.

However, don’t make sudden investments without prior extensive research. Be sure that you’re able to weather the storm if your money’s gone up in a cloud of smoke due to unforeseen circumstances. Remember that the stock market will always be volatile. Don’t play the game just because everyone else is doing so.

Perhaps now’s apt to relook into your monthly budget or consider running a side business to boost income?

Old Chang Kee’s New Super Drum Foodball Chicken Rice for Euro 2020 is Super IG-Worthy

Lobang: https://goodyfeed.com/old-chang-kee-euro-2020/

After being postponed by a year due to the pandemic, football fans around the world are now gearing up to enjoy the upcoming Euro 2020 in action.

I know right, it has been a long wait. But as they say, better late than never, right?

With much anticipation, the long-awaited Euro 2020 will commence with Turkey taking on Italy this Saturday (12 Jun) at 3am (Singapore time).

Feast on with Old Chang Kee’s new lineup of “foodball” thematic food

In celebration of the season, Old Chang Kee and its sister brands are launching a series of “foodball” thematic food. Now we can all feast on it as we watch our favourite matches.

Euro-Cup 4 Balls Special

You know how we all love Old Chang Kee for their easy to eat finger food? What if I tell you that you can now enjoy their classic favourites all in a cup?

Especially for this football season only, they created a new Euro-Cup 4 Balls Special. In it includes the Big Fish Ball, Sotong Ball, Cheezy Chicken Ball and Lobster Ball (which by the way, is also new).

For that extra oomph, each cup is also drizzled with a unique Fiery Chilli Sauce.

Retailing at S$3.90 each, it’s available at all Old Chang Kee stores and delivery platforms.

Euro Foodball Combo Set

If finger food isn’t your thing and you prefer something more filling, Curry Times is also releasing their special edition Euro Foodball Combo Set.

With Hainanese chicken rice, it’s paired together with a Super Drum, Hainanese Chap Chye, Achar and a homemade Hainanese chilli sauce.

With chicken rice as one of our national delicacies, you honestly can’t go wrong with it.

At S$10.90 per set, you can get it on GrabFood, FoodPanda, Deliveroo or at Curry Times Retail outlets. It’s only available at Novena Square, Northpoint City and Westgate though, so make sure not to go to the wrong outlet.

O’My Kampung

A great way to spend a few hours together as a family is by watching a soccer match. It’s even better when you have some good food in your tummy.

Old Chang Kee’s family bundle set comes with their signature Kampong Chicken with 8 chicken rice foodballs. To top it off, there’s even a free choice of any 4 drinks or desserts.

Best of it all? It’s only S$20.90 for 4 pax. That sounds like a great deal!

Other sets also include the buddy meal and individual meal.

You can get it at O’My Kampong Sengkang Riverside Park and delivery platforms.

EURO Cup Fiesta Sets

Ever craved food while watching a midnight game but you’re not willing to take your eyes off the match to go grab a snack cause a goal might be scored?

Well, with Old Chang Kee’s catering service, you can now enjoy free delivery from the comfort of your home.

Yup, you heard it right, it’s free if you pre-order 24 hours in advance.

There’s a wide variety of super IG-worthy meal sets and platter sets to choose from consisting of different signature snacks, puffs and more.

With every set ordered, you’ll also get 10 packs of potato chips and 1.5L soft drinks.

I know right, now you can be a true blue couch potato while binging through the entire Euro 2020 season.
