Same here 5 years odd I paid up my loan. Feels good isn’t it?
Old and long debate here about debt is a math problem or a psychological. No end to debate. Google it.

My house loan is 5 year but i settle all by 3 1/2 years.
it indeed feels good to be debt free.

And now with EPF dividend 5.5%, Unit Trust agent will showcase their story like "Low EPF Dividend and how UT can achieve at least 8%"
*
UT Agent knows blow water only.
it takes how long to get that 8%?
after u sign up, they deduct comm, admin fees, this fee that fee first.
then first year u can't even earn back that f**king the principle u invested coz of that - comm n fees.
then second year also same as first year nowmally. u rugi one.
need wait 3 years + then maybe u earn back your principle only. no untung. if untung also not as much as EPF dividend.
this i talk from experience. 5 years also tak untung a shit. this is before MCO lockdown.

then also before MCO went PBB bank, this girl keep asking us invest in their bond.
Keep say they will never touch your principle. rugi also they will return u back your principle.
exaple u invest RM10k. end of the day if rugi, they also return u RM10k, guarantee.
so i give it a try. after 3 years i go check my account, mother f**ker not only i can't get back my RM10k.
It give me back RM9.5k.
I ask that girl who promote me this shit, she also can't answer me.
u say can get back that RM10k??? why now RM9.5k?
she only reply me "i also dunno".

story of the day, don't say EPF, FD also better return than UT.

IF you have recorded that statement from the UT agent, she will be in trouble... can sue her and UT company for misrepresentation.

I wish i did record.
then last week i went to the bank, while waiting I saw her hard sell this same shit to another customer.
"Guarantee return one" etc. .......
In my mind, this lady "scam people" again.

So far i never lost of confidence to EPF.

Am i not happy with the increment from 1mil to 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3? Yes, not happy.

But it won't affect me much because i don't plan to take out the money for a very long time.

Was growing up in a restaurant environment and listening to all the "EPF is bankrupt ALREADY" rumours since 30+ years ago, i am kinda confidence on EPF. For me, the current worries by many,  have no difference from 30+ years ago.

I will only lose confidence to EPF if i forsee Malaysia is going into bankruptcy or into a very messy political situation.

If you are worried about EPF "no money", then your only choice probably is to exchange your currency to USD/SGD/ETC, because if you take out your EPF and still keep it as Ringgit, if EPF really having issue, your Ringgit will most likely become rubbish too.
*
many years even my mom believe in EPF going bankrupt that's why withdraw everything and put in FD instead.
coz her circle of friends also said EPF bankrupt, Najib used all that money soon, faster withdraw out from EPF.
EPF no more money. faster.

i told my mom, i never believe in rumors. i only believe facts and figure.

My era it was Mahathir/Umno stolen all the money in EPF  biggrin.gif

And these rumour spreaders all talked like they got such info from trusted sources  laugh.gif

My parent was victim, instead of able to get 5-6% yearly dividend, the past 25+ years they only gotten 1-3% from FD.

until today my mom said she has no regret. earning 3% is better than losing all to government.
and in September 2024, EPF was the 13th largest pension fund globally and the fifth largest in Asia.
