2014..slow down...not making much money.. vmad.gif
i)inflation up...(food/elec/groc/etc)

ii) property sky high (still some ppl still paranoid buying senselessly.. doh.gif ), but govt measure slow down speculation. but company who does buying in bulk, maybe not curb..
iii) crazy developer selling inflated 700 to 1000/ft  vmad.gif , not yet included maintenance fees..(akin like buying mercedes, but cant pay for cost repair/eat maggi mee..)
iv) FD rates % are falling, bank tighten their loans..
v) GST taxes  vmad.gif
vi) jobless getting higher for certain industry..
vii) bank strict CC & spending..
viii)
ix)

To counter this ...

i) Nego kawkaw your hard earn money thru FD..and getting gifts
ii) refunds of income tax rebates
iii) BT your CC without incur % from bank A to bank B
iv) work part time..if required.  cry.gif
v) thrifty and sensible spending
vi) cut unnecessary things/spending
vii)
To gain... financial freedom..

i) own house, if possible another house for rental all paid up
ii) 2 million and above, to get interests/dividen/etc to meet your monthly spending/consumption
iii) vehicle all paid up

Too bad most people these days want the 'lifestyle' and rather go in debt to live the 'lifestyle'.

Do be reminded is the outlet at menara glomac damansara kim, which is off jalan damansara
Well, will keep that in mind as almost everyone who frequences the airport lounges have those cards.
Anyway, like Gen-X has been reviewing, use a credit card for its specific purposes.  thumbup.gif

I was told by someone that soon we will be charged a higher tax or something if we have more than 1 credit card? Don't know how true is this.

There is already a surcharge for people with more than one credit card smile.gif

What is the surcharge ah? I'm only paying government tax of RM50 per card, is that the surcharge?

QUOTE(gchowyh @ Mar 17 2014, 10:48 AM)
Endless possibilities tongue.gif
Whatever it is, would be best to limit the number of credit cards.

Better to have more FDs..  icon_idea.gif

Have more FDs in bank no one will know except the bank brows.gif

QUOTE(herc @ Mar 17 2014, 11:23 AM)

*
I also not very sure. Hopefully someone can explain on the surcharge as I currently have more than 1 CC also sweat.gif

How u guys move the money from one bank to another bank, for FD. I mean approx RM 50k? Using cheque?

IBG or cheques are the easiest.

Any idea if walk into PERWIRA AFFIN bank to open the FD ac, need introducer? If have no existing ac with them.
*
I didn't know we need an introducer to open FD account with any banks. When I open account with Affin Bank, I just walk in and say want to place FD and they just ask for my IC.

QUOTE(sonicbull @ Mar 23 2014, 10:23 PM)
Guys, need your help here about mach hl fd.

I put in 1k into fd promo@3.7% for 6 months. I realised that the fd interest credited into my account is different.

1st time: 3.14
2nd month: 2.84

I use compound interest calculator and I just can't get these two figures. Anyone can help?
Thanks.
*
FD interest is counted by the days. Different months have different days.

QUOTE(Kaka23 @ Mar 24 2014, 05:09 PM)
OCBC 12month FD at 3.6%... just info as just now I walk by the bank. If somebody has already inform this in this thread, dont shoot me ya as I didnt read and follow this thread
*
Is this pure FD or combo with something else?

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Mar 24 2014, 05:41 PM)
is this promo rate only? if mature, revert to what rate? just curious  sweat.gif
*
Usually upon maturity will autorenew at very low board rate for the same term. Unless instructed otherwise.

Guys, what is the best way to take out money from maybank to put FD in bank rakyat? Carrying cash would not be convenient right ..
*
Banker's cheque.

QUOTE(WaCKy-Angel @ Mar 25 2014, 06:37 PM)
Hi all,

Is the 1st post rate list updated?
I'm looking for short term FD highest rate anyone knows?
Maybe Monthly or Quartely maturity, and if possible daily interest calculation if take out before maturity.

Currently im just using maybank FD coz its convenient no need go bank and can take out just with few clicks.

SUM around RM30K
*
Monthly or Quarterly, not much options if want convenient. Most short term FDs comes with the stupid CASA thingy.

Hey brothers, just a quick question. I have a bad habit of over spending on a monthly basis and touching any savings I got so I was thinking of setting up a fix deposit account.

My only question is i know i wont touch the money once i open it so can i do a monthly bank in? Can this be done?

EG

Initial account is opening is 1k.
I always have a surplus from my pay between 500-1k on a montly basis so can i put this inside the account.
*
Nope, FD doesn't work that way. Unless you place separate FD amounts on a monthly basis. But it'll get complicated.

Try searching for a good saving account.

Since i have talk to Affin BM, for deposit up to 500k, they can give 3.65%

Anything from 500k to 1m, probably will get 3.70% at most.. whistling.gif

Which branch is that? They didn't increase for me last time, say dunno how many m only can sad.gif

Hi bro, definitely UOB will increase our FD rates but as I know from now not "so soon". Lol, most probably at MAY or June. However, car loan interest rates increased I'm not sure since UOB doesn't not provide car loan for customers. Well, I will keep you all for latest news for FD in UOB. thumbup.gif

Looking forward to what UOB can offer. smile.gif
