What is the Difference Between Monthly Savings Plans and Regular Savings Plans?

Deciding which investment plan is right for you can be exhausting, and let’s face it, financial planning terminology can be confusing. So what exactly is the difference between monthly savings plans and regular savings plans? Turns out they’re the same thing. Regular savings plans are a regimented way of saving through routine contributions to an investment fund. Monthly contributions can be minimal, which allows for investments without large capital. These small regular investments can grow steadily over a long period of time due to their flexibility to capitalize on market opportunities. A variety of plans are available to meet your investment goals.

What is Expat Savings Plans?

Expats and families who stay long-term abroad will often find themselves in unique financial situations. Low cost and living and higher than average wages are financial boons to some, but extra savings are often balanced out by exchange rate fluctuations and expensive overseas travel costs, amongst other expenses. Expat Savings Plans are broad strategies that help you plan for your future and secure your finances while living and working abroad. This can be in the form of investment accounts, personal bank and pension accounts, emergency funds, and more. Your location or country of temporary residency can also impact how you approach financial savings as an expat.

Here we go with many compliments for Yen. Using her services in long time for our company insurance with a big applause of her supportive, responsive, patience, etc. 10/10 recommend Yen to everyone if you need someone guidance you in the right way and save your time.

I can't say enough good things about Yen, insurance superhero! She didn't just help me choose the right insurance, advise clinic, etc. When I had to actually use my insurance today, she had my back like a trusted friend. If you're in need of an amazing insurance guru, you've gotta meet Yen – she's the real deal!

I am an expat living in Vietnam. I was struggling to find the right health insurance but was so lucky to get support from Ms Y at Tenzing! The process of making the right choice was made very easy through her detailed explanations and support.

Definitely worth using a broker to navigate private health insurance. Samuel, and particularly Tâm, have been very helpful in choosing the right insurance and then assisting in following through with my first claim. Much appreciated!

I used Tenzing to get health insurance and I can say it was a good idea. Ha, who is my contact there, did an amazing job to assist me, especially when I need help for some cases. She is really professional, efficient and she was the main reason I renewed my contract for one more year. Thank you Ha!

Thu has been absolutely outstanding in helping me with my health insurance needs. She’s professional, patient, and always willing to explain things clearly. What really stood out was her responsiveness and genuine care — she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It's rare to come across someone so dedicated and helpful. Thank you, Thu, for your excellent service!
