QUOTE(GymBoi @ Jul 28 2013, 05:40 PM) Thanks edit: oh ya ... are the interest rates for housing "flat" like this too ? Actually it's all common sense - FD is an almost risk-free deposit for us, do u think the bankers will let us have a risk-free return that is higher than interest rate of their loan products? Cheers!  Add: Housing I dunno, I never study things that doesn't concern me at the moment, never interested in property This post has been edited by Pink Spider: Jul 28 2013, 05:44 PM

QUOTE(chelsea2013 @ Jul 29 2013, 11:19 AM) actually still underconstruction. the house will b ready end of nez year. if i sell, then vy difficult to buy a house nowadays Think along the lines of NEED. Like my case, I'm the only child, living with my dad (mum passed away). I don't NEED a house, thus I won't buy. Yes, houses will be getting more and more expensive, but why buy something that I don't NEED?

QUOTE(navink @ Jul 29 2013, 11:47 AM) True what? Why are property prices shooting up? It's the kiasu mentality of ppl, "aiya if dun buy now, later very hard to buy!!!" But u don't NEED it. And then u also complain of property bubble/speculators, when YOU yourself is part of the herd pushing it up This post has been edited by Pink Spider: Jul 29 2013, 12:08 PM

May I add, if struggle with finances til have to count every single ringgit, how to date a girl, how to marry, how to have children, how to send children to school (and I'm not even talking about private school)?  And it's the herd mentality, NEVER say "aiya it's only me alone, how much can I change?". Tell your friends, educate your colleagues, enlighten your relatives, sooner or later ppl WILL change their mentality to break the bubble vicious cycle.

QUOTE(Gary1981 @ Aug 1 2013, 04:45 PM) Is the investment return that initiate ppl BBB. Perhaps is not "need", it is "wants". Then, may the investment bubble burst soon, it's causing so much hardship for ppl who really NEED a house.

QUOTE(lozenges @ Aug 3 2013, 01:09 AM) Bro, seriously u feel that I'm boosting? We are now 27+ d, with total income of 5k we won't be able to save 150k? But our expenses are considered extremely low. How much saving u expect from two person with total 5k of salary? 1. No need give parents money? 2. After u work, I don't think RM130 petrol is enough, expect at least double of that UNLESS your office is just across the street 3. Think about car maintenance 4. U mean 5K + 5K or 5K only? I don't think pay house and children expenses can cover with 5K. After u have family, u gotta think about insurance too

QUOTE(ak101ss @ Aug 14 2013, 10:41 AM) Not enough liquid asset for rainy day.. that investment i consider as commitment/debt as I was forced into it and I have no access for its capital/dividends for 20 years. Public Mutual = no access for 20 years??? who forced u??? rule of thumb, BEFORE U INVEST, u must have a reserve of some liquid assets for emergencies, 3-12 months of ur expenses depending on ur job security

QUOTE(felixmask @ Aug 14 2013, 11:23 AM) not bad has parent influnce to have saving habits. Not many have it. There is bad and good lah. Bad thing, you didnt over come to manage yourself what suitbale for yourself. Good thing, no need to tink juz follow onli. SHow your respect and obey to parent wish. My advise, not every money/side income you get must report/follow to your parent. Must learn some dirty accounting and hide somewher for own purpose. I NEVER tell my parents how much I earn yes got good and bad, some kids really don't have any financial responsibility, for those, parents control is a good
