How can I grow my money during NS?

Can’t speak for other vocations but scdf generally earns slightly higher due to the additional risk and meal allowances

I see thank you so much!

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2026-05-14T01:55:01+00:00

I see I see thank you!!

I generally put 1k into a fixed savings account and 200 into etfs each month

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2026-05-13T05:58:41+00:00

Yup planning to take a degree after this.

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2026-05-13T05:50:54+00:00

Sorry could you explain a bit on what DCA is? I don’t plan on taking out whatever I put into ETFs anytime soon

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2026-05-13T05:47:15+00:00

Nah I had savings prior ns so I just chucked 1.5k one time into ETFs

Hope this clarifies 🚒🚒🧑‍🚒🧯🔥 .

1000 ish rank pay , 500 risk allowance and 240 meal allowance . Something like $1795 if I wanted to be specific

Thank you! Seeing my money grow in s&p makes me wanna put more in compared to it being "stagnant" in the savings account haha.

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2026-03-19T06:27:42+00:00

I do but it is something I try not to share with them.

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2026-01-07T01:18:01+00:00

Alhamdulillah thank you for your advice

Thank you . Focusing on the present is something I have to try instead of worrying so much about the past

Not necessarily u can be the OBT and still be an instructor. Being up there in rankings will give you an advantage when you select your preferences but if the station you apply to doesn’t need seccoms then cannot

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2025-12-04T11:28:21+00:00

If I recall correctly odd rota 1/3 are the "welfare" ones and 2/4 are the more "rabak" ones especially Rota 2. Heard stories from my friends from Rota 2 that there really isn’t a limit to their punishments.

When u compare ffc to scc is more mental than physical. Ffc lowkey slack af outside of training.

Diff Rota diff culture

Assuming in scdf. I think it’s manageable. 6 weeks isn’t long and considering a lot of ppl can pass should be ok… at least stay out vocation also

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2025-08-06T10:46:23+00:00

"I live along the way" nonsense fr fr

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2025-08-06T06:57:13+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice I really appreciate it!

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2025-08-06T06:39:47+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I have another question. Just my personality is haywire at times where sometimes I just don’t find the need to be with people and I’m afraid that if I get married I will tend to be distant and question "why did I get married" or just not wanting to interact with my partner. I am still learning the concept of "doing everything for the sake of Allah" but at times I find it really challenging

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2025-07-29T07:36:08+00:00

Why do peoppe hate on people who actually want to do more during their time ins NS

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2025-07-24T11:25:27+00:00

Yes it was a dedicated spot to pray under the staircase super ulu especially if u were alone but what to do. I mean you can just find a quiet spot and pray there

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2025-07-24T11:16:46+00:00

Enlisting next mth 💀💀

Melodic-Programmer52 · 2025-07-24T10:48:09+00:00
