    To sew, if you want buttery coffee buns, go to a bakeinc shop and get one. Its also cheaper $1.50 for one (I live in cck and the bakeinc at Sunshine Place sells very buttery coffee buns yum)

    Quite a fun video. But not logical as a challenge if can arbitrarily get free food and services. Also $50 probably not really enough for one week. Nevertheless, getting free food and things is legitimate in real life, as the money stays in OUR pockets. So, always good to have generous parents, grandmas, fiancés and frenz. Best!

    Prolly, you can start a new series (or podcast) on financial awareness. I am a subscriber of such topic in an another channel, and it really benefits alot. It teaches things like emergency funds, credit cards, housing & car loans, investments and thereabouts.
    One such advise, if I can remember correctly is that, the emergency fund is able to cover ourselves for 12 months, instead of 6. Covid period has taught that we can lose our steady income and we may need a longer time to be gainfully employed again.
    I used to always buy slightly pricier beverages. Now, if it is just 1sh dollar bottled drink from NTUC and able to quench my thiirst, to me, it is good enough already. Lol.

    not taking private hires and saving so much more is like common sense LOL

    passing the bill on to someone else kinda defeats the purpose and the spirit of the challenge IMO...

    I think people enjoy if the punishment is more extreme. If the stakes are high, its more thrilling.
    Like if they exceed their budget, they pay x10 the amount they exceed back to TSL 😂

    As long you don’t take private hires should save a lot alre. Can buy drink everyday. 😊

    How to beat any of TSL challenge.
    Step 1: Pass the bill to someone else.
    Step 2: Repeat Step 1.

    If every expense is sponsored, definitely can meet budget. Maybe can do a challenge for $80 or $100 with real dollar cost of free treats counted in budget spent?

    • @josivetang7323

      $50 seems too low for normal meals & transport rides & have a social night out.

    why do all of TSL talents drink bubble tea like it's water... lol everyone at my workplace drinks coffee, no bubble tea...

  • @bensumw
    @bensumw 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I'm concerned how it seems like some people can't control their urge for bubble tea ? It's basically addiction if you think about it. Bubble tea is expensive and is also high in sugar. Unless you go for no sugar or 20% sugar, but it defeats the purpose of drinking bubble tea as the sugar is a key component in making it taste good.
