Hi sifus,

Below are my outstanding loan :
Housing Loan - RM 133k (Interest 2.85%) --> Staff Loan.
Credit Card O/S - RM 14k (Interest 15%)
Credit Card O/S - RM 1.6k (Interest 12.90%) --> Convert CC into PL.
PTPTN - RM 9k (Interest 4%)
ASB Loan - RM 104k (Interest 4.85%) --> Staff Rate.

Below are my savings :
ASB - RM 30k (Total RM 130k include ASB Loan)
Extra savings per month around RM500 - RM800.
My plan is to pay off Credit Card O/S as soon as possible. Any technique how I can pay off quickly the CC?
I don't want to touch RM 30k cash in ASB because that is my emergency fund.

Hope you all can advice me.

U should really consider to pay your credit card outstanding..

The interest is so high, not worth for you to even drag it

Total of credit card outstanding is about RM15.6k so why not settle it.. Not worth to compensate the interest for the outstanding just to use ASB as your emergency fund.

Hello Navink,
So you're in the forum seeking advise again.  biggrin.gif

No need to wait the dividend la... just clear the 14k debt out of the 30k in ASB. Still got balance of 16k. Then re-built the savings again...

But to be careful, you got to know how you got into the cc debt in the first place. Among the top rules or advise in personal financial management is paying the credit cards in full. If not able to do so, this means living above the monthly paycheck.

If it was a one-time big purchase/expense, this is what the savings are for. No point having savings, but using credit card instead of the savings.

Yape.. that was what i am wondering.. a balance of RM16K should be sufficient to be noted as emergency fund.

Maybe you can try to uncover your special skills and use it for generating part time income.

For instance, if you are good in teaching, you might as well do some part-time tuition to rake some extra income..

How are you sure that rental will give guarantee return as compare to dividend? What if your rentee defaulted rental payment? What if rentee was a troublemaker and refused to move out so you got to hire lawyer to get rid off him? What if your rentee spoiled your property so you have to fork out extra to maintain your property? What if you were unable to look for new rentee within weeks if not months to fill your dwelling units? What if your net rental decrease due to increase of loan repayment (assuming you were taking loan and the loan interest rate increased)?

Given that the holding period of stocks to be as long as the holding period properties, the volatility of stock price would be the same as the property price.

I agreed with this. i also have one property rented out and I always have problem in collecting the rental because the tenant does not have the intention to pay the rental timely.

In future, even you have a trouble maker and you hire a lawyer to get rid off him, it cause tonnes of money..

And also the poor condition of the property could be expected once the tenant is treated harshly..

At the end, the landlord makes a big loss..

For me, after going through all those experience, dividend is still considered easy money comparing to the rental income..
