The Art Of Being Cheap | Net Balance and Chill EP1 | Ceddy, Sylvia, Alex HKF, Aaron Tang

Is being a cheapskate a Malaysian thing....?

We bring you Net Balance and Chill, a brand new vodcast series that explores EVERYTHING about personal finance. Emotional spending, passive income, buying your first home, you name it lah. Join Ceddy & Sylvia in this first episode as they speak to Alex (Kpop Cover Dancer & TikTok Star) and Aaron Tang (Writer at Mr. Stingy) about the concept of being cheap, and how it may cost us more eventually.

So what is the difference between being cheap and frugal? What is the best way to be economical without affecting our relationship with others? Tune in as the four of them share their personal "cheapo" stories and experience. You can also watch the video version of this podcast with cool infocards on our YouTube channel.
