I'm in the same shoe as you but I only go back when there's a public holiday. Sometime, I car pool while other time, I'll skip the highway and use trunk roads for certain stretches.

As a safety engineer, I guess that your salary could be lucrative.

Difference between unit trust agent and licensed financial adviser

WHO is a representative of a licensed financial adviser? Short answer: Your financial planner.

He or she is not the life insurance agent or unit trust agent you know, even though you may have seen the title printed on his or her business card.

He or she is a person with certified financial planner (CFP) or registered financial planner (RFP) credentials.'

Hi guys...
I worked for one and half year, but until now I don't have any saving.
All my income go for car loan, house rent, credit car(petrol, phone),facilities.
I wish to invest such as UT... But first to first, do not have any saving, how to invest on these all?
Do you guys have any recommendation on earning some side income?

Do not say that you cannot invest if you have saving or money?

Do you contribute to EPF first? If yes, you can always start from there first.

Next will be to outline your cash flow (inward and outward) and from there, start to reduce or chop off unnecessary expenses for saving.

If nothing can be eliminated, then you should start to consider on how to increase income. Perhaps, additional part time job.

Hi, just now the guy asking,

viva 1.0 auto, but i think only 3 years warranty, that's why i hesitate. 5 years warranty can ma? And choice between EZ and Elite?

Back to topic.

For EPF, can I do something like this?

1) withdraw money from Account 2, invest in UT.
2) few months later, withdraw that portion from UT for cash use =D

For Viva question, I didn't purchase the EWP neither. Standard should be 4 years and EWP gives an extra of 2 years. To reduce big lump sum service/repair, I recommend you to periodically send your car to repair even though your car hasn't reach time mileage or date timeline. The EZ and elite difference are mainly differ in face lift and accessories.

Next on EPF thing:

1. You can do that provided you have excess.
2. You're not allowed to do that. Any proceed from repurchase must go back to EPF.

FYI, my company reimburses our auditors for their meals if they work OT at our place brows.gif

RM3 roti canai + teh tarik
RM6 nasi campur + cina teh ais
RM8 nasi campur + teh/kopi ais (ok la, dinner drink better a bit after a hard day at work)
Total: RM17

RM17 x 30 days = RM510 ONLY icon_idea.gif

But 99% of auditors I know do not eat nasi campur...they always take the excuse of "hard work, must reward ourselves..." to splash out $$$ on meals whistling.gif

Whose $$? Personal? Company? For the "luxurious" food?

Thanks for replying.

1. Although my average income I get from my partnership is average 4k, but I would like to prepare for the worst. Maybe I'm having a mid life crisis (getting old too) and everything paranoids me.

2. My minimum spending is 5.5K without any "disaster" hitting my family. Although all my family members are insured, but I personally see how medical bill can bite a chuck of your finance. Hence, I wish to increase or at least maintain my income to prepare for the worst. I know I set my expectation too high but I can't help to think of it. I also plan to have another child, but me losing my job is going to put this on hold.

3. Although my assets portfolio looks good, but I don't think its enough for me to grow with. I wish to grow this money so I can have enough for my retirement.

4. 90% cash on FD is just my current status as I sell a sizeable amount of shares before election. Still thinking carefully  where to invest it in so I just put it in FD temporary.  Thanks for the tip, I will have a look in it.

5. Does anyone tried any financial product in Hong Kong? I heard the returned is very good and consistent.

Thanks for the advice.

5. What kind of financial product? REIT?
