for 3 minutes, just ignore the blue tag

i'm currently nearing my thirties. what i do and how much i earn shouldn't be important, rigth?

currently,

1. i maxed out my ASB investment
2. HP repayment about RM 800, another 2 yrs left  <-- my only liability, currently
3. property loan repayment = RM 2k per month, 9.5 yrs left

i've been saving almost 60% of my salary. my ASB goes from zero to max within 5 years.

i don;t desire many things but i still do spend normally - a new phone every year, this and that, fine watches, bicycles, gadgets, etc etc

now my big problem: i just don't have any idea what else to do with the money. pls help.

atm, i just dump my extra money into ASM or ASW which earns me about 6% return annually.

and to quote from a popular pop song "i wanna be a billionaire, so freaking bad... bla bla bal bala bal"

and oh yeah. i'm single. w/o insurance (never believe in insurance)

Hi all, I am a fresh graduate starting work in pj. I am determined to save up and invest rather than spending it away.

So here is what I got.
-I have a 2.7k salary, with around RM400 allowance, which most of the time will be used up for transportation, since I travel alot.
-I got a car, and won't be changing it, just maintain it.

The question is, how and what should I invest in? Coz I dun believe in putting money in bank, coz the interest rate is way too low. I believe money can generate more money itself. Hope some sifu will gimme some advise! biggrin.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

there is a FD plus at 4.16%? I googled and can only find up to 3.15.
Could you post a link or something please  biggrin.gif

Ad in the papers a few days ago. 12 months, FINAL month 6+% so annual avergae about 4+%
So doing this would be better and safer than B Rakyat?

Comments on this also appreciated!

To Win44,

You are a perfect customer in the bank perspective, it will be hassle free for you to take up a loan with size of RM 600K to 800K.
Since you are aiming for investment, I'm suggesting rental income where you may invest in 2 flat/ apartment, OR, landed type for flipping.
Please refer to iProperty.com for loans comparison.

You are definitely in optimal financial status, very healthy and have high demand power.


I'm a Degree graduate of Finance major, much appreciate if we may bring this discussion further.

Gark,

It look like some folks trying to take advantage in this thread to sell their investment, which is risky. Just wandering, if the investment as mentioned really awesome, investment company will not hired freelance salesman with zero knowledge other than taking money, and will not waste time to train salesman to be an agents.

Hi forumers,

Anything better than a 3.65% FD rate for 55k? I tried the ASM, couldnt get it at all. I dont know stocks, I dont hold any UT. Had 2 accounts for HLA Cash Builder with yearly commitment about 5.5k.
Still have around 30k(FD 1m 3.0%) waiting for something better. Any idea what to do? Thanks.

Unit trust cannot be guaranteed, unit trust mainly invest on shares market if in economic crisis time how can we expect the shares market still holding strong? Meaning shares kaboom, the unit trusts cannot give a positive results and means there is lesser or even negative value so no GUARANTEED is given ......... Just for sharing

Haur,

These are the common people at last normally will lost everything because "Not knowing what to do", if you want to get something, learn from your mistake but not asking people what to do. It only make you a prey to other people eyes and wish to take your money away from you, your question just like ancient proverbs ; Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day, show him how to catch fish and you feed him for life;. Find your journey, not depend other guide for your journey, it is not a journey. At the end, money is gone.
