I am a housewife. Whatever surplus I was able to save from my household budget, I started saving it as milligrams of Gold in my milliGOLD account. (It was very easy to open an account on my mobile, with just my email ID and Mobile No).
From Jan 2022 to April 2024, I saved an average of about Rs 1089 PM.
While I was aware of the eMandate feature (Auto debit of fixed amount every month), I preferred the UPI payment option as it allowed me to save different amounts every month, sometimes more, sometimes less, and some months, where I had unexpected expenses, it will be zero.
I had accumulated 5387 milligrams of 999 Gold. (Bought and stored at MCX Exchange by millIGOLD )
May 10th 2024, was Akshaya Trithi and I decided to use my Gold Balance to buy a Kasu Malai (Necklace) for my God Ambaal. I had informed the milliGOLD customer support team one day in advance, they coordinated with me, to ensure that the redemption and settlement process was done to buy it exactly on Akshaya Trithi day, in a Jewellery shop of my choice.
It was a miracle, when I found a Light weight, Kerala Style, Kasu Malai Necklace. As if Ambal was selecting it for herself.
I brought it home and felt proud and happy.
