Answer – Eat 8-10 almonds a day to improve your memory. smile

Almonds are one of the finest nuts with huge benefits, including rebuilding of neurons and improving brain functions. To make them more effective, leave them in water for a few hours and take 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 in the morning (remove skin).

I used to eat almost 100 soaked, peeled, grinded almonds per day in past due to eBay offers,I used to purchase almonds, figs, pistachio and khubani in bulk using flat off eBay coupons, and still remember my password and credit debit card numbers expiry dates cvv due date bill generation dates etc
Now again I am thinking to resume almond intake

Maintain note pad on mobile, note all of them login ID and passwords.
Use hint password instead of actual password on notepad.

Samsung has integrated features as MS SMS Organizer in their default messaging app with recent update. Although it’s not fully functional as MS, just copy pasted some features from them!

If anyone who does not want to give Personal email access to Cred

Create a new email ID and set a forward in your personal mailbox to that email ID

Give new email access to Cred which will only have statements and nothing else

Damn it !!! This is some next level stuff… I have done a similar thing previously for another purpose, never thought of it again for Cred.
I tip of my hat, from one legend to another !!!

For accounting, I use good old Tally. Have the details since 2013 in one place.
For card payments, as soon as bill is generated, I create a future dated payment in net banking. Bill gets auto paid 3 days before due date, no need to remember due dates.
For managing passwords, I keep 1st 8 characters same, followed by a specific numerical for each card – 01,02 and so on, and change the whole set every 2 months.

I used to do the same earlier..
but later when I came to know that we can earn cashback by paying CC bill…I started following the same… wink
which is not possible by adding standing instruction for neft payment of the bill..
at the end of the day it boils down to one thing.. what you want more .. savings or peace of mind grinning

This is what I do
All my CC have billing cycle date as 1st of Month or 15th of Month.
So I clear all my bills including utilities/etc around 5th and 20th ..
PIN for all my cards are same…easy to remember.
Only carry 3 cards with me (2 CC and 1 Debit). all other cards sits at home

all my banks allows personalized user ID for netbanking..makes easy to remember the logins
