QUOTE(ericlks91 @ Feb 23 2019, 03:29 PM) Since when people should be judged based on what they dressed or how they looked? I know a few millionaire uncle and aunty they dress so casual and u won't know they are rich AF. Some people just wanna be low key. Nothing wrong with that. If banker wanna judge then it is their lost for losing big chunks of money. They just trying to protect themselves, why so sensitive?

QUOTE(Afterburner1.0 @ Mar 5 2019, 10:06 AM) yeah u were right ..theres when ppl back then who holds cash grew their pot of gold! i heard highest was 10%...anyone got more than 10%??? Wise investor during those years would have made a lot more than 10%. Some came out of it with multiple properties and/or tracts of land, some owning significant shares in growing businesses.

QUOTE(Afterburner1.0 @ Mar 5 2019, 10:22 AM) teachers back then who save alot... made their money doubled.... i always wonder how they can save up so much... Basics of saving - income > expenses Educated guess:- sometimes additional cash term income can make a big difference (e.g. tuition, since you're discussing teachers). Including 'savings' w.r.t LHDN reporting. Compared to hotshot manager with nice car and paying back bungalow loan, sure die when interest rate jump because of high debt.

QUOTE(MakcikLum @ Apr 28 2019, 01:39 AM) Thanks Guy3288 for the reply, anyone else who is existing joining the Go 7 campaign, can share the experience? I have no offend to BI, just wondering whether I should place my FD with BI or other bank Hai-ya auntie mah ... "kia-si" a bit ... but the interest is high ... hard to let go ... so ...  I've got a placement there since May 2018. Already 3 times deposited interest to the linked savings account (which you have to open, as mentioned by previous poster). What other 'experience' you want to know? No one has completed 2 years yet, and even if they have, what sort of guarantee would that give you for the next two years? Not a single person has complained on receiving lower interest or lost capital la. Beyond that you gauge what risk you're comfortable with. If you're not comfortable, go with public bank, until die also won't have problem.

QUOTE(chwphin @ Apr 30 2019, 12:55 PM) Hi there guys ! B Islam Description Tenure Profit Rate (% p.a) Rollover TDT-i GO 7% 3 Months Start 3.80% 950 Interest Quarterly(Simplified) 1st 3.90% 975 2nd 4.20% 1050 3rd 4.50% 1250 4th 4.55% 1375 5th 4.60% 1500 6th 4.65% 1625 7th 7.00% 1750 Effective rate of 24 months: 4.65% Total 10475 Amount of interest annually 5237.50 Principal amount = 100000 According to the calculation by BI : (3.80+3.90+4.20+4.20+4.50+4.55+4.60+4.65+7.00) / 8 = 4.65 % ( Simplified ) With the workout of the total interest received ( Simplified as above ) ,the interest annually : (5237.50/100000)x100% = 5.2375% Can anyone please points out what's the catch here ? Your maths is wrong. Everything from 4.5 to 4.65% is wrongly calculated, should be 950, 975, 1050, 1125, 1137.5, 1150, 1750. Total of 8137.5, divide by 2 is 4068.75. Rounding error due to the rough way you're doing calculation.

QUOTE(David_Yang @ May 20 2019, 12:38 AM) It is not a minor change! Everybody has to think about what is an attractive interest rate for FD in MYR. If you get 3.5% for MYR and 2.0% for SGD what will you choose? Wait where to find 2.0% for SGD? Even compared to 4.0% for MYR is still more worth it.

QUOTE(Aghi @ Sep 5 2019, 11:52 PM) Just deposited in BR fd for 4.28% 11 month today. Luckily they could activate my dead saving account. But I learned something here..for 11 month its actually 3.92% because (4.28/12 * 11), So at the end its only 3.92%, for rm10000 u will get 10392 at the end of your tenure period. I choose for interest to be credited after my fd matured. I guess affin has better offer and easier (efd) unless BR can renew with the same offer next year. All FD rates are per annum. If you place a 6 month FD at 3.9% you don't expect to get full 3.9% after 6 months right? If that were the case no one would put long deposit...

QUOTE(superduperodua @ Oct 18 2019, 02:48 PM) Brader , now is even more dangerous , if i dunno IBG , i hav to stand at the atm for 15mins just to press my cash , if the guard not around and some rempit bang in GGWP my $$$. Why ??? I cannot take out the cash means theorethically the money isn't with me physically ??? Right ??? Yup, 100% agree with you , now i having 2nd thoughts about banking with UOB , even with their so high lucky prosperity 3.88% promo till this 31sst. I got bad news for you, even at ATM there's a limit how much you may withdraw.... Years back there were rumours going around that certain banks/branches had 'moles' inside that would inform some outside parties if large amounts of cash being withdrawn. Once you walk out with 5 or more digit cash, it's very very dangerous, all can be gone just like that. And nowadays to say 'money isn't with me physically' means its not yours is nonsense. If you still have this mentality better hide money under a tree.

QUOTE(superduperodua @ Oct 18 2019, 03:09 PM) Hello , to press rm10k at atm need how many minutes ??? Compare that to withdrawing from the counter. I dun care if the bank got moles or tigers or dragons. I wan my money !!! Edit : ok maybe what you say makes sense , the mole part. Cash is dangerous in large amounts. May not be worth it to bang your car and grab your bag for RM200 or RM500. But if you're carrying RM50k? RM100k? Even more? There will be people who are willing to do anything to get that. QUOTE(superduperodua @ Oct 18 2019, 03:09 PM) Finally , you understand. If i pass away , all that $$$ inside my savings account wont be given to my parents without a fight or a lawyer. Am i right ? This is a good point, but even if you have cash... they must know where it is right? Which pillow you hide it under. Instead of telling them that, just tell them where you store your money and how to access it (or use joint accounts). Write a will.

QUOTE(myotgo @ Apr 13 2020, 01:06 PM) PBB offer 3.18% for 4months letsay u put rm10k after matured only get rm100 not worth i think Let's say you put 10k for 4 months under your pillow. After "matured" only get RM0. Let's say you put 10k for 4 months in equity which crashes. After "matured" only get -RM5k. Worth or not is not just about amount, you need to compare with alternatives.

QUOTE(David_Yang @ Jul 3 2020, 08:52 PM) Don“t forget, 3.0 is 50% (!!!) higher than the base rate. Never in my life I managed to get FD 50% over base rate. .... like that if base rate is 0% then as long as got 0.1% (infinity%!) is considered very good ah? That's why we use basis points rather than percentage higher....
