I wouldn't suggest FD  , should invest in mutual fund or something similiar .

Else the inflation will kill your money.

Here there I hear people say that "don't put in FD, inflation will kill your money".

Heck are we another Zimbabwe or what? Does the value of our money losses exponentially?

Then everything inflation then no need save money loh. Got what spend what. Wah, baguslah ekonomi baik! Ada duit rolling in the economy!

Doesn't forking make sense!

Be reminded that banks pay an amount of interests rate to you as a counter to inflation.

what they mean is, yeah, they do give interest rate, but the interest rate is lower than inflation rate, or just equal at best.
in which case, you only use FD as a parking lot for your money, not as "investment"

Better than nothing loh. Everybody wants investment but with no proper research or study.

Ended up burned out or rugi then start from scratch again. Better save than sorry in these hard times.

Almost the end of the year.

Was actually targeting to save RM10,000.00 this year but I end up with RM20,000.00 cash.

I spent on what I need but heck, I have additional funds!

Have only 1 loan which is PTPTN.

Am I in good shape?

Please advise me.

I got bad news that the company that I am working is not providing any increment and bonus. My colleague and I felt devastated.

More awful is that I am bonded with the company for another year which means I could not switch jobs or I need to pay a compensation for leaving.

There are no OT and as a result, I have fixed income every month.

I am no entrepreneur and selling stuff would only generate negative income to me.

I have a professional job but salary wise, it is still below RM3,000.00 despite being in KL/Selangor area. Professional job is shift basis. 4days on 4 days off.

It is okay if I apply work part time at a cafe or restaurant? I have past experience.

Will I be looked down upon?

For bumi there is always ASB.
But for a pendatang like me, where can I park my money?
So far, I put into FD only. sad.gif

There are many other investment options which are have good performance if you are willing to learn. But if you expect to be spoon fed, then stick to FD. The world is your oyster, never limit yourself to what you can't get. For me I never bother with any of ASN's products.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks mang..
Actually, I also do not bother. But begin to take note after hearing how my bumi colleague is benefiting from it. A low risk steady return investment?
Just that feel it is unfair. Anyways, this is Malaysia. Nothing is fair to pendatang. tongue.gif

True. I don't have a car and so I have no girl friend also. Nowadays hard to get date without a car sweat.gif  .

I wonder how to foreigners who came to Malasysia for work can still score a chick despite riding only bicycles. If a girl truly loves you, I guess no matter you bicycle or whatever car, they still will follow you. Those wanting your car money etc I suspect are gold digger.

Everybody doesn't seem to understand the term investment where there is a 50% 50% chance of losing it if you f'up. Majority will loose it.

The property investors are assuming that their properties will get rented out and/or will get sold at handsome profits. The moment the rental income stops, the bank loan repayment stops, and it all falls apart.

Everything looks good on paper but it does not reflect the true nature where ceteris paribus might not apply.
