Hello Grasshoppa, Most of our parents and schools teach us about saving from a young age. How many of us manage to build these habits from childhood into our adult lives?

Hello Grasshoppa, As I examine my recent shopping patterns, I’ve noticed a gradual shift from in-store shopping to online shopping over the years.

Hello Grasshoppa, With the discontinuation of the AirAsia credit card, I was struggling to find a replacement credit card that is able to suit my lifestyle. While the Sutera credit card is an option, I find it to be rather a mediocre card for my needs. Perhaps for some users, this is the best credit card […]

The cost of imported goods will increase as a result of weaker Ringgit & if you are buying imported goods, you will be paying more than what you used to pay in the past. Exporters that are […]
Hello Grasshoppa, Recently, my cousin introduced us to an insurance package she bought for my uncle for his old age as he has no savings or insurance in his 60s. Despite him being in his 60s, he is still working a day job with no retirement plans as retirement means he will not be having […]
