it will be seasonal for mass withdrawal
as long as there are no big big festive season then mass withdrawal will not happen
for example i am a chinese and i am in desparate need of cash during CNY... so i will go withdraw account 3 few weeks before CNY lo...
In around the CNY month I too will usually have to spend more than usual. The current rate is about 2 months my current monthly expenses for Feb n Mar.
Month Jan, school starts expenses
Month Feb, hv to spend on ang pow for parents and in laws, or on dinner expenses when outstation relatives visits etc etc.
Self Food and self clothings for CNY can reduce but ang pow cannot.
Month Mar, 80% of my annual family insurance allocation falls in Mar CC statement
For me, Feb, March is critical cashflow period.
Thus I budgetted my monthly expenses to includes those needs and accumulated that amount during my other 10 months.
Once, I had a major car repair bill in Jan too....luckily got emergency fund.
