i just read this page 80, and found most of you advise to settle the PL asap, but not to take another loan to repay the 1st loan.
how about if this apply to housing loan? is it practical to settle the housing loan asap may be cut the saving per month and pay more on loan?

also, what does it means by balance transfer?

read before....they said housing loan is the "cheapest" loan....
they advises use the available money to try to generate higher ROI than the housing loan rate.

read some where else too.. and not 1st time this questioned been asked.. but i am still not knowledgeable to catch the point.
Perhaps some one can enlighten me with an example / simple excel comparison?
Eg: housing loan 4.2% vs ASx 6% lyn forumer told me by putting in ASx i can even earn 1.8% interest (6%-4.2%). just simple calculation.
Always saw ppl mentioned about simple interest rate, effective interest rate, complicated formula, etc. i am not in finance field, i got confused.

Im 34 this year

i'm thinking,

RM100k of savings into FD that follows promo (4.4% best rate now)

RM10k of savings into FD tat dont follow promo (eFD can withdraw anytime)

Rest goes to EPF

So the 10k that dont follow promo is first emergency

2nd emergency is the RM100k

My retirement plan.

My main purpose is to park here 😅
