Hai guys, here is a brief of my life throughout the past 6 years. My decision makings are related to lowyat forum feedbacks with the threads related intact.
I`ll be 27 this year.
the flow is as following

1. Making a decision after graduate from diploma (part time vs fulltime studies)
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1319356/all

Decision made: Took a fulltime-job + part time studies
result:
- Studies under full scholarship with study benefits (exp. study leave, exam leave)
- 5 years working experience
- Still working with the same company till date
- Will graduate with degree in 2016
- debt free
- Happily married for 3 years


2. Along the way dilemma
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3009040/all
Decision made: Stayed in the same company till date
result:
- Same as above
- No sent to training/certs
- a key player in the projects, even though i only have a diploma.
- overall happy with the decision made
- the industry i`m in seems bright so far (UAV, drones, aviation)


3. Upgrading myself
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2470748/all
Decision made: Stayed in the same company till date
result:
- Given the chance to do some programming project and succeeded (I`m electrical base fyi). therefore increase knowledge in programming
- I still dont have any proper/competent certification that makes me feel abit secure about myself in the future (my brother has 20+ certs in less than 2 years from his company)
- Still dont know where to search for trainings? anyone could help?


TODAY
Here is my current status as of date
- No debt
- Married + expected child
- 5 years working experience
- expected graduate 2017 under full scholarship
- No certs or training throughout working here
- key player in project
- I like my working environment


Right now I have a sense of nothingness or no motivation and I don`t know why.
Please advise

Sometimes I wonder, is this what I want in life

house?

No offence,
but just dont understand how can people get married before graduate some more expecting child.
unless staying outside KL or parent very rich

or else the burden is strong

how bout ur family? wife and kid.

I don`t own a house, I`m still renting

I`m the type of person who don`t spend much, and the type that DIY alot. it`s a passion of mine.
and I plan my expenses well, that`s what make me debt free till date. I live within my means.

i`m staying in KL, work in KL with my diploma and doing part time studies for my degree. my classes are on sat & sundays only, so it`s no problem at all

regarding burden, I don`t think I am burden at all since
- my studies are paid for
- No loan house/car etc
- I own a car & 2 motorbikes (fully paid cash. 2nd hand. with a jackpot price for it)


Currently happy with my family. Every lunch time I can go back home for a nap & lunch together since my home and workplace is very near.

Keep it up!! No debt = happy life bro!

I think your next achieve will be - graduate with flying colours + a very cute kids + Promoted to higher position with higher pay

Cheers!

get a house and treat it as invesment

get a hobby. follow your passion.

i think at this point, more money or material gratification won't bring much more happiness....

5 years of working , and RM 2.3k. You surely have different set of goals than me.

follow some role model that is inspiring and motivated.

work for them and find your purpose and interest of life.

cheers

I can see that you dont have any goals in your life. thats why you dont have any motivation at first place

wow, u got married at very early age.. all the marriage expenses are came from ur own money? (im not trying to offense you, i just curious)

I thought of hobbies to do, recently just registered a kayak event from Langkawi to Kuala Perlis.
I thought i`d give it a shot. now getting in shape for it



Yeah, I`d sometimes ask myself, what the hell am I doing here. As always, as a young guy before graduate, we`d always thought the world was all sunshine and rainbows.
As we progress in life, we`d accept the harsh reality working in malaysia.

I`d even considered to migrate, as did my brother. now earning handsome salary in the EU. Before I could consider that, I believe i`d just have to graduate my degree 1st.

Thanks for the feedback, Maybe passion is what i`m lacking. who knows.


I think so too, maybe in the 1st place, i just set a medium term goal, and that`s it. i`ve already reached it then now i`m blank on what next. could be so


I got married when I was 23. Yes, all the expenses came from me. Not a grand wedding. all in less than 12k in 2012. and only one majlis.
I started saving money since my univ days, it`s just a habit of mine, I also make some money here and there, like selling phones, motorbike, cars. for example i sold a 4x4 and made 5k. the owner said he wanted a certain amount of money and that`s it, anything more, I could take it. So i sold that 4x4 and made 5k. i`d also buy 2nd hand bikes for like 2k, then sell it for 3k, 1k profit there. i`d repair student computers, printing service at my room etc. Usually I just try things out.

Maybe you are just comfortable with what you have now. So that's why you feel so.

Be an inventor and invent something like GoPro for 1/3 the price.

Develop a website to help people compare prices in lazada, 11street, lelong, mudah, etc

Take up an investment tutorial, learn how to make profit from forex, stock market, commodities trading, etc

Take up music lesson and create your own mix and become the next DJ Tiesto

There are endless things you can do. Why settle for something less?

Hi 5tar5cr3am are you firmiliar with PHP and MYSQL?? How about wordpress??

hmm maybe you need to start reading a motivational book.. or watching any youtube video talking about motivation in life
get some idea to set up a goal in life
list it out. focus. make it happen.

but am sure, for current stage, you dont have any goals right?
if yes, that's a real problem
I can see, it's not abt making more money, it's abt to be happy in your life

how to make a 2nd hand bikes sell for 3k and 1k profit

U learned a lot of stuff man,

Set a goal for yourself, what do you want to achieve in life.
