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 😅

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can help us to further save more and maybe earn more

Husband and i both 32 years old, SPM and working in Private Sector.
I work in finance sector, non bank
Husband work in property sector.

Breakdown

My Salary - 3968.1 (after deduction)
Husband salary - 2472.25 (after deduction)

Monthly deduction
Car - 471 (Axia, 7 year loan, ending March 2023)
Phone bills - 250.16‬ (combined)
Internet -147.34 (no choice, only Time in the place im renting,and i signup before they changed the package pricing  dry.gif)
PTPTN -101.07
PL loan -382.53‬ (4 more years left, ending May 2024)
Rent  -1100
Insurance -221.7
NETFLIX -51
Spotify -22.9
Allowance -1300
Groceries -300
Wahed - 200 (total invest atm 600)
SAMY  - 300 (total invest atm 760)
Variable - 300 (for others such as, shopping, leisure etc)
Bal : 1,292.66‬

Cash in hand currently 7,662.85‬ (6k will put in ASB soon, the rest for emergency cash..currently only RM100 there, no loan)
My KWSP = 95,269.77‬
Hubs KWSP = 40,577.37

Long story short, we had a business before and didnt go well.
We just paid all the mess in Feb except for that 1 PL loan left flex.gif
Also, we never knew how to save anyway due to no proper guidance.
We learn the hard way and now want to start from 0

Currently, both husband and I took the 7% EPF. I figure to put in ASB so our salary is + 442.3
I request to withdrew from KWSP I-lestari RM500 too, again this is to set aside cause both of us in high risk industry. So this will increase us to+500
(If all goes well, i pump it back in KWSP in Jan 2021)

I want to build the 6 months emergency funds in ASB and thought we could achieve this by end of year, but Covid happens and we are uncertain in the next few months if we still have job

I was thinking to do side job but husband dont quite agree. He asked to focus on full time work and dont want things to happen again in the past.
Also we quite comfy with current lifestyle

We dont have kids yet. Planning to buy house in 3 years down the road, as we want to build wealth first.
both parents well, dont need help from us.
Occasionally go out and belanja them dinner, normal place nandos or somewhere similar level, nothing fancy

I know we started late, but we are looking forward for any advice or comments on how we can build our wealth
TY

Is anyone keeping money abroad since our RM value is dropping day by day?

I know investing in foreign stocks are one, what other options do we have?

Go dump your money into s&p500. No need to think so much. Clearly you didn't do your homework yet despite me giving all the links for you to read.

I read through it

I really did

I am thinking of bluechips through ireland

You should not open Ibkr if you are not ready to invest. Remember even TSG have inactivity fees if you have less than I think USD1-2k. Of course if you don't mind losing money then just give free money to IBKR.

You are just asking for trouble then. It's ok to follow for ideas but you need to do your own research. I get ideas from YouTube see their bull base and dig deeper into their financials.

If I am satisfied, I buy.

I dont know if i will be interested or have the time to do technical analysis/ research.

Even if i have the time, i dont know if i absorb correctly what i hear/ research haha
