Instead of facing a S$6,000 wedding contribution or renovation deposit all at once, you save towards it in smaller amounts, for example S$500 a month for 12 months. By the time the bill arrives, the money is already there.<\/p><p>Common sinking fund examples in Singapore include:<\/p><ul><li>BTO or resale flat renovations.<\/li><li>Wedding banquets and related costs.<\/li><li>Annual car insurance and road tax.<\/li><li>Festive spending around Chinese New Year or Christmas.<\/li><li>Annual holidays or family trips.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In each case, you already know roughly how much you need and roughly when you need it.
