Hi guys would love to get your advice on my personal finance.

Age 26
Gross salary RM3380

Investments
Asb loan - RM150k (monthly RM813) - now dividend more than RM10k
Tabung haji - RM100 monthly (less RM2k)
Unit trust - RM500 (just started - will practise DCA)
Stashaway - RM100 (initial deposit)

Expenses roughly
Housing loan - RM1320 - house still under  construction, another 4 years to complete -- so i havent paid full installment yet
Food RM500
Transport RM200
Rental RM500
Misc RM200-300
Parent RM100

So now i was thinking of purchasing reit stocks which i want o allocate RM2k (taken from bonus) for that as a start. I feel like im rushing with my investment

What do you guys think?

Just my personal opinion - with your income you should probably pick only 2-3 instruments and focus on them.

Nothing wrong with funds and stashaway (I’m personally using them too), and you already start investing in properties already so thats a good start. You also have ASB loan (forced savings/investments). But before you start investing anywhere else, its probably a good idea to max out your ASB allocation (200k+200k)

My take on stocks is to dump 7k-8k one shot depending on which broker you using to minimize transaction fees. Also there are better ways to invest in S&P ETF other than stashaway, link here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4744515

Just my two cents overall. But bottom line is, its great to start investing earlier šŸ‘šŸ»
