QUOTE(kparam77 @ Jan 15 2012, 02:57 PM) rm85k in FD at age 30, good. i think u already spending wisely too. how much ur monthly instalment will be? still got 1 yr to start the paymnt. My monthly instalment will be RM2,700.ur other commitmends? No other commitment.any plan to buy own car? Yes. saving acc shud hv ur monthly expenses X 6. can be increase to time to time if ur monthly expenses increase. any insurance? any plan for ur marriege?, i think no prblem for u since already hv sufficiant amnt in FD. No plan yet in the coming two years.at last how much u can safe montly. I spend only RM1,000 per month, so monthly, I save RM5,000. I stay in KL though. spilt it by 40% in FD and 60% in unit trust. or 30%/70% since u still young. or other saving/investment as u wish. Never invest in unit trust. I am think of investing in another property next year. Heard that next year property price drop, so I reserve cash now. make user u very well undrstand abt investment and also the involve riskk too. just my 2 cents.

It's a waste to have 6 mths worth of expenses sitting there earning nothing, I'd suggest put in FD or money market funds instead.  Actually, I have less than 5k in saving account. All money in about 5 FDs. Added on January 16, 2012, 12:35 pmQUOTE(bearbear @ Jan 15 2012, 04:31 PM) can split the 15k into 3 FD, 1 month tenure with maturity +-10 days apart from each other. You are sort of covered just in case you need the fund urgently with money earning some interest. this is what im doing  Yes, I have up to 5 FDs Added on January 16, 2012, 12:38 pmI am thinking of buying another property for renting and investment. What you think? This post has been edited by VictoryBlue: Jan 16 2012, 12:38 PM
