Try being an expatriate worker for a MNC.

Usually income tax and EPF equivalent are paid by employers. Also the accommodation rental, utilities, car & maintenance, hp & calls, food (lunch & dinner) and also ticket back to MY is all borne by employers. With all these 'perks' you can save >100% of your salary. But there is a price... they work you to the bones and you need to adapt to new environment.

Why not..? A LOT of people have investment income such as rental, dividends, interest from PASSIVE income. If these PASSIVE income is enough for daily expenses, you can even save >100% of your SALARY.

Example rental income is around 2.5k-3k/month from a condo in klang valley, if you are frugal, who says you cannot save all your salary? 2.5k-3k is enough for daily expenses if you have no loans to pay up.

If you have no PASSIVE income but resorting to exhausting your primary salary, then perhaps you might want to consider to build your PASSIVE income portfolio...
