Hi sifus here..
Need your opinion..
I have savings about 100k..(spread between ASB, ASB2 and Tabung Haji)
My house will be completed by oct 15 and I thought of allocating about 40k for the necessities…
So, I left with 60k…
I have this car, another 7 years to go (loan for 9 years)..the balance at the bank is 32k, when I check the settlement the bank said can pay 27k..(disc/rebate around 5k), the interest is 2.98%
The question is, should I proceed to settle the loan…or should I left it at my investment house??
So you have rm100k of savings.
Your monthly income?
For me, regardless of house loan or car loan, it is still bad debt. So settle all of them will be a good option.
House loan another 5 months to go, I'll consider cash settlement now then follow by car loan.
You need to know when is you car loan's starting date. If your starting date is 1st March 2 years back, you shall cash settlement it by Feb next year, since bank charge the interest upfront on 13th month each year.
All the funds you mentioned are sure make money funds with rm0 admin fees, so you shall not listen to any of trust fund or insurance agent's bullshit and let them make money from you.
Once you are at rm0 debt, fill up back the hole created by cash settling your loans and not looking for other holes.
