Tired and Exhausted

 Tired and Exhausted


To be honest, I am sick and tired of being the bigger person. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

But I guess, it's my fault for letting on and letting it brew.

It is definitely true with the adage that takers will always choose to take.

And this time, I'm choosing myself.

Even if it's family.

I'm choosing myself FIRST.

Maya's time deposit and personal goals

Maya's time deposit and personal goals


It has been some time now since I've opened an account with Maya/PayMaya.


I believe that it is one of the digital banks which yields high interest conservatively out of the options in the market.


As an experiment, I've put a time deposit for 6 months for at least a year now and it yielded approximately 4.7%. (Though it will say it is 6% per annum every 6 months). But still it is not bad.


According to Maya's website, you can add up to 5 active time deposits with a maximum of 1 million each. This is for the Time Deposit Plus. Any amount that exceeds 1 million will not earn any interest. So the maximum amount here would be 5 million if you have 5 accounts.


For the Personal Goals, you can add up to 5 accounts. Though I don't know how to get the 8% per annum in this account.
