It's amazing that your expenses reach RM800+ monthly.

For me my fixed expenses would be

Room rental = RM 400
Parents allowance = RM500
Food = RM 300
Transport = RM300

None of these expenses can be reduced no matter how hard I try. rclxub.gif

smile.gif U rent a room right? Ask landlord to add a bed. Twin sharing double decker - can reduce by 50% thus u paying RM200 only. My brother in KL is sharing room la that is why room rental can divide by 2.

Parent allowance RM500 - ok, being noble son/daughter to support parents. I no comment coz I nothing to give, coz they are a lot richer than me.

Food - RM100 coz only lunch eat outside. Lunch cannot help it need to eat outside coz working. Breakfast eat bread or biscuit at home + a 3 in 1 cofee, Night cook your own dinner - Making sandwich or cook bihun put some choi sum vegge or eat oat. Cheap cheap only.

a loaf of bread, eat 2 slices for breakfast n 2 slices for dinner, RM3.20 Bonaza can last u at least 5 days.
buy eggs cheap only 10 AAA for RM3.20. Boiled them hard 100% coz egg in boil form after eat can tahan lebih lama.
buy magerin Planta instead of butter cost less than RM10
3 in 1 drink those Aik Cheong or get those Spirulina type with a lot of oats cost less than RM15
bihun 1 big packet RM2, choi sam get the 1 bundle RM2 type, cook clear soup bihun put some choi sim add some salt. Salted fish also cheap/ telur masin also cheap can consider add a bit..ratio it ok to last longer
Cook oat also cheap la.

Gas 1 tong 1 month also cannot finish one la..coz not boiled soup...just simple cooking less than 5 minutes each meal...

Transport - RM300 . Try to reduce to RM50. Take commuter and free bus Go-KL, walk a bit lo...

But but.. if lazy.. (guys without taste buds & time):

Lazy Office lunch:
1. Carbo: Whole meal / full grain bread OR cook 5 days worth of brown rice & pack into 5 containers, freeze them.
2. Protein: Hard boiled eggs (5 days worth, chuck in fridge when boiled - nature's packed fast food tongue.gif) or cheese
3. Fibre & enzymes: 2 helpings of different fruits (another of nature's fast food)

Lazy Dinner:
1. Carbo: Brown rice pre-cooked as above & frozen OR spaghetti/noodles
2. Protein: Dory fish 1 slab or chicken fillet or eggs (switch around)
3. Fibre: Frozen veggie or veggie from garden (yes i have a huge garden of "Taiwan choy" but gotta pluck lar biggrin.gif)
Throw all into a pot, cook & eat out of pot. Only need to wash pot + fork  laugh.gif

Saves $, time & healthy enough.

Methods to reduce food expenses (involves $$) = FINANCIAL management

So, previous posts were not totally out of topic. They were suggesting on how to cut down food expenses.

Hi all, currently ptptn is offering 20% discount for settlement. I still have 18k balance. My company can offer personal loan 20k with 4% interest monthly rest.

settle ptptn : save 3.8k (pay14+k)
total max interest for 3 years for 15k : 1.2k

another 5k, dunno what to do yet.

Can work?

4% interest monthly?!? Yearly ma become 48% annually?? This looks like A-Long Sdn Bhd.

Looks like not a bad idea la.. Can use =)

RM1257.29 interest throughout 3 years. Every month pay RM590.48
Better than % rate provided by banks for personal loan.

Hope my calculation is correct la.. calculated by monthly rest.
