Greetings folks, just looking for your prospect and insights.

Here's a few details :

I'm aged 28 currently and working in retail.

Gross salary RM 4,000- RM 8,000
Its pretty random as its basics with commission and allowance.

Monthly expenses (Food, groceries, work related etc) RM 800
Parent RM 300
Rental RM 250
Car loan (Share with siblings) RM250
Insurance RM 210
Phone RM 50
Internet RM 100
Electric RM 100
PTPTN Loan RM 230 monthly (Left RM 17,000 more)
ASNB I max up to RM 200,000 (RM1,000 per month I paid) roughly. Been paying for 2 years already

Above are my total expenses.

As for my saving, I managed to save up to RM 184,000 in a saving account

also cash on hand RM 25,000

as for EPF : RM 70,000- RM 80,000

Just wondering should I park all my saving maybe RM 150,000 into my sibling ASB? with the dividend I receive per year, I can use it to pay for property if I'm looking for one within this 1-2 years? I personally think I can save RM 50,000 or more so that I can pay for 10% for property. What are your thoughts or move? Your advice highly appreciated.

Don't know whether you're still following this thread haha. You can actually park your cash in ASB2 even with 200k loan in ASB1. That's what i'm doing. 200k loan in ASB 1 and filling up ASB2 with cash. If i'm not mistaken there's limited units for ASB2 coz they only have like 10bil units in total. They might have added more. But so far I have filled up 60% in ASB2. In my opinion, you shouldn't cancel your ASB loan. You can still use your cash to invest in ASB2 and elsewhere. Just my 2 cents.

ASB1 & ASB2 max 200K capital. Dividen no problem. ASW2020, ASDidik, ASM, ASM2, ASM3 for bumi quota still have plenty. No limits... Average dividens around 5-6%.

Yes, 200k for ASB1 and 200k for ASB2. Btw I read your post with your assets etc, very impressive sir. It is true that makan gaji pun boleh jadi millionaire. Especially when you start investing early.

But the part that you said 'kerak kena kecil..Keep liability to low such as cars, rumah juta-juta please avoid', I have a slightly different mindset. I spend on things that I want/like (not only needs) but within my means. I like expensive cars so I bought a 600k car. If I list down my monthly expenses I'm pretty sure a lot of people here will cringe and think that I am stupid hahaha. But to me it is up to the individual and the most important thing is you are happy. I do have a target for retirement and I do save. I also have an emergency fund. I try to live a balance life. I save and I also spend.

If I didn't buy an expensive car and just buy clothes at kamdar, sure i'll probably have an extra 2-3million 20years down the line, but i don't know whether i'm gonna even reach that age haha. So I save for retirement and I also spend on things that I like and I'm happy. And if driving a myvi(which is not a bad car tbh) and saving as much as you can, makes you happy, I respect that. To each his own biggrin.gif

One need to be careful of their ways/habits of spending
Unless of course when you retired, the saving/passive income able to cope with your lifestyle
Otherwise, the later half of your life will be painful

One should also read a post in its entirety.
That's why i said 'I do have a target for retirement and I do save'.

I agreed with you. Different people have different lifestyle and enjoyment. As for me, I know my capability (Tak pandai belajat, kerja seaman) and the opportunity to earn and save money only come once. Some people they spend on what they like because they know how to make money, they know their capabilities well. Many youngsters now jutawan senyap. Online business. youtubers, gamings income, etc.

As for me, I am a 44y old borned well before the I.T era. Only know word star program, c prompt and disket was big during my time as a child.

My enjoyment is when i wake up in the morning, I don't have any debts and I can work at any place that i like. And hopefully later can retired comfortably.

I'm 32 years old and not tech savvy either haha. Nice to hear of your achievement sir.

Going through this thread, I can't help but feel there are so many ppl humblebragging here. Those earning >10k have no business sharing or pretend to ask for advice here, you are only bragging and trolling trying to make ppl here feel bad.

Earning > 10k, you are totally not in a pinch needing help managing money, you only need to not fuck up your business and income source, and don't waste money on lambo or mont kiara condo.

They are trying to make themselves feel good lol . Fishing
