EPF dividend and other stuff
So the good news is that EPF announced a dividend of 6.35% - which is the highest for many years.. or even a decade plus. The not-so-good news was that over the weekend, I decided to do a bit of special cooking and since I rarely do grocery shopping, the price of food really has gone up! Though of doing lamb shanks but the price, oh my... 2 frozen pieces came up to RM54 at Cold Storage. Yes, granted I was shopping at the posh places but STILL?! Then a bunch of celery (organic it seems) - the smallest bunch was RM6?! For double the quantity at AEON Big, the price was RM1.90! faint. Not blowing my own horn but yes, my pay is pretty decent. Even so, these prices are an eye opener for me. Either that or I have to disabuse myself of the notion of my supposed socio-economic class and start having lower tastes, then not so 'heart-pain' to have to pay through my nose for something I want to eat. Sigh....
