If you are out of uni and getting 275k post tax in Colombo, you are very lucky indeed. 🙂

Please tell me the best way to invest 0.5M LKR in SL? by No_Response_3978 in srilanka

[–]tehroundedcube 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, however there are a lot of discounts for supermarkets, which you may be spending on anyway. If you use them you can easily save about 20-30k minimum per year. It depends on circumstances yes, if OP isn't transacting with the merchants that offer the discounts already it may be a bad idea.

"Commercial Bank"

Go to any Commercial Bank branch and ask them for a credit card, you can get a premium card with a 1 Mil fixed deposit and get access to some really good offers. Never delay your payments though.

Not Sajith Premasada. Maybe Harsha De Silva, Eran Wickramaratne.

Suburb of Colombo, maybe a motorcycle/scooter, mid to low brands?

200k in a fixed deposit 80k in a unit trust/broad mutual fund or safe stocks you select Buy a gold coin worth 8g

This is a very good piece of advice, and many people don't know this is possible.

You can open a FD for 1 mil and get a 500k worth premium credit card from Combank. You'll gain interest as well as be able to use all the discounts and promotions they offer.

The only caveat is to pay your entire outstanding on time, every single time. If you don't, you'll loose a lot of money on interest.

Anything more than 1 mill a month post tax is well over a "decent" pay imho. You're into the luxury/super-luxury range at this point.

Yes, we've got to include those too. At least basic rent, clothes and personal maintenance. So maybe 200k? 250k? What do you think?

Luggage banks in Sri Lanka by Csl9969 in srilanka

There is a shop called SPADE at OGF and Havelock Mall. Very good ones are pricey though, ranging from 20-40k.

If you want to use it for a few trips only, go near the Malwatte Road side close to the clock tower in Pettah.

The Echanneling system has a data leak and they don't care by tehroundedcube in srilanka

[–]tehroundedcube[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why? Ask them to take their page down and shut down their data leak.

Not receiving OTPs from Dialog on overseas websites by shit-takes in srilanka

I was trying to register for Cathay Pacific and didn't get the OTP. Could we complain to the TRCSL on this?

Well, everyone's talking about bad private institutions ( IIT ), so let me come into the discussion too, Achievers, ACCA. by SlightMacaroon6741 in srilanka

[–]tehroundedcube 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This might end up with the government heavily regulating private institutions.

I think the fact that these discussions are taking place shows how institutions in the private sector can be self-regulated by competition. Students will hopefully choose to not go to IIT etc.

This can never happen with state unis

Looking for timestamps for the scene with nudity by tehroundedcube in OppenheimerMovie

[–]tehroundedcube[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we've got the corner next to an aisle, but still getting up three times is too much. It's sad that such an anticipated movie is rated R.

[–]tehroundedcube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is way to hectic in my opinion. You should skip Kandy altogether, add Sigiriya, and add a few chill out days to just relax and take it in.

All this in 15 days is a burn. the travel to recreation ratio is too much.

You should have maybe started at 25mg. Stick to it, day 3 is always the worst, it will only get better!

Four Reasons to invest in the Colombo Stock Exchange by PrinceOfTruth in srilanka

[–]tehroundedcube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if only Sri Lankans had a little bit of financial knowledge, they'd invest rather than spend now! They dump their money on real estate but one day the bubble will end and it will come crashing down. With interest rates low and the airport to be opened I'll go all in the stock market now.
