It will be near impossible for a common worker in their 20's to earn so high in Bolehland. Our salary are kept low for some reason.

Totally agree. No many salaried worker can earn high in Malaysia. The only way to earn high is to be creative and do your own business. However, high income = high risk.

Oversea is always the best. Learn more and earn more.

(Note to self: Why did I come back to M'sia?)

I don't know what is the commodities 2m. Ignoring that, you have 5m. Even if deduct 2m for education, you have 3m. 8 years left to 56 yr old. If save 200k per year, will get another 2m. Minimum 5m by 56 yr old. Even if earn 5% on it also got 250k. Yes, you can retire by 56 yo. But I am sure you already know that. tongue.gif

the commodities is the investment in unit trust investing in Amprecious Metal mainly on gold and other metals... so he has 7m in total... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

hi all,

can you comment on my situation? please provide some opinion as i wish to learn from some of you.

Properties

1. Link House-0 out of KL. RM250k (Outstanding Loan RM50k)
2. Condo-KL RM250k (Outstanding Loan RM200k)

Cars
1. Japanese car old RM 45k (outstanding loan RM24k)
2. Japanese car RM150k (outstanding loan RM90k) for my gf use

FD + Loose cash RM210k

My concern is my salary is used empty every month to service the loan for the above 4 items and my lifestyle..
I left only saving of few hundred RM every month...

I know u will suggest that pay off some loan but I will get penalty for the Link House (RM6k)
*
If your property loan is flexible with adjoining account, it is better for your to park your "FD + Loose cash RM210k" to reduce the amount of interest to only the 'outstanding' 40K... you will safe much more than parking your money in FD.

And wat car you let your gf use?? honda crv???

Hi!

Equity = Asset - Liability

Asset
======
Total in all checking and savings account --> RM2k
Current value of life insurance (cash value) --> unsure (this figure should be the amount you get if you surrender the policy today)

Current value of home ---> RM100k (RM300k divide 3 person)
Current value of any personal property and cash on hand (handphone, laptop, guitar etc) --> RM2000

Total Assets --> RM104k
Liabilities
======
None

Net worth---> RM104k
*
life insurance will only become an asset after your die. Now it is just liabilities.

Too little cash savings for emergency and too high expenditure especially you are not married yet. And try to pay off your credit card debts which interest rates mirror that of the loan sharks...

BTW do you know that your expenses is more than your incomes???

My house fully paid. Bought RM400+k landed 5 years back.


What is the best way for me to invest now?

My passive income is nil. As I exclude sgd 20k of profiting share with dividend annually 4-6%

My tax is killing me, since I can't do much tax relief.

What is the best way for me to generate passive income now?

You can invest in property in m'sia to generate passive income.. I'm sure you can afford a few investment property with ur sg5k...


By the way, the tax rate in sg is much lower than m'sia... And get urself a pr in sg n u can qualify for cpf (if not mistaken), another form of retirement savings...

Best quote. The malls around the Bukit Bintang area also project crony. If you buy from them means you support the crony.

sorry, i do not shop in bukit bintang since im not from west malaysia.

Btw, if we live in malaysia, we are enriching the cronies directly or indirectly. petrol, sugar, electricity, water, cooking oil, cars and etc...... they have cover everything

This is the most idiot one, just simply point finger to others.... my business nothing to do with kronies or politician, I supply to Hong Kong, Singapore, China & Middle East.. Not even once I got chance supply to Petronas cause they got Vendor Development Program (VDP) holder. Even though I have VDP contract for Pump & Valve but still in R&D (since Sept' 08, spend USD2.5m). My self not even think 2nd stage for API & Lloyd boards testing at this moment... Mechanical seal size 3" price USD62,500 each... USD62,500 x <1200 unit p.a (max) = USD75m @ RM3.00 = RM225m (profit 40%)
