Wah Chan Gold & Jewellery: 4 Meaningful Ways to Use Your Ang Pow Money

The festival of giving and collecting ang pows will be over soon. Some of you (us included!) might be grinning with the bountiful harvest of ang pow money, but here’s the tricky question: How do you spend them?

We can’t wait to spend too, but this year, why don’t we make the extra cash more meaningful? So here are 4 ideas we gladly come up for you.

1. Plan for next trip

Already missing the Chinese New Year’s holiday? You can start planning for next one within your ang pow money budget. The earlier you book, the more you are likely to save and leave some as your travelling cash. Or, you can use the money to secure your ticket for the next Chinese New Year.

A short getaway is already a good unwind plan

2. Pay off credit cards

The sooner you start paying off your card, the sooner you can be free of debt in this Year of Monkey. It’s alright if you can’t settle the full amounts, you can still avoid it from snowballing and ease yourself with smaller debt.

Make getting out of card debts one of your new year resolutions

3. Go for self-improvement

It doesn’t have to be a degree course or some sorts, there are many short term programmes that you can do part time to develop new skills, for e.g. photography or make up. Go for self-improvement courses (or even books!) that are relevant to your career or interests and you’ll be happy to see how your ang pow money has benefited you.

4. Invest in gold bars

If you really don’t intend to use the money now, you can save it, in a more tangible way – gold bar. Gold bar is a long time investment that needs no deep investing knowledge, and best of all, mostly appreciates over the time.

And you can find them all at Wah Chan. We have a great collection theme of 999 Pure Gold Bars that you might be interested to pick one for yourself...
