That's because they keep until few years already. If you can put in RM10 a month, that's RM12k/year which is = RM720/year free money.
Now, how to get more money?
- cut down on your wants. Eg. of wants
Movies, Spotify, Netflix, iFlix, Starbucks, mcd , pizza, beers, that brand new phone, that smart watch.
- cut back on expenses
Streamyx/unifi, - who needs that when both digi and umobile offering cheaper unlimited packages? aircon and astro is a luxury.
- get the cheapest car
You don't need a Honda or Toyota. Just choose Asia or bezza
- use credit card wisely
With the right cards and discipline, banks will be working for you instead of you working for the banks
- choose between FD or amanah saham
Unless you are loaded, you can only pick one to get the best rate. I choose amanah saham over FD. Hence I moved all my FD into amanah saham.
Keep that up for 5 years, already > RM60k
These are some of the examples I stretch my RM.
Well, I see. For now I think i can save MYR 1k per month to throw into ASBN. However, I plan to buy house, that's why my saving sort of split into 2
By the way, i currently got 10k stuck in FD also

what they mentioned are only guides. u cant compare one who earns 10k a month with another who earns 2.5k a month. also depends whether u have others dependent on u or no commitment. perhaps a better method is to compare percentage instead of total amount.
I truly understand about this. I just curious and wanted to know how they managed to do it. Or what sort of advice will all the sifu-sifu give

I went to asnb counter instead of bank. They have more free time to try to open. Just bring rm100 for each account u want to open. N tell them what account u want to open. Tell them try sampai dapat

it takes time depends on unit available so go during ur free time..
I see. No wonder. Thank you

Totally agree. One can earn 10k but save only 1k, and one can earn 3k but save 1k. So dont compare amount. There are alot ppl that is alot more wealthier than us, so we live and save what we can.
For me, after deducting my commitments, i save almost 60-70% of whatever i have left. Unless eating out with wifey, sometimes during working hours i always eat cheap food, etc. Go for mamak teh ais instead of starbucks n all..
Its the discipline we want to achieve, not so much bout comparing amount. Start small, slowly grow. If we dont start, we can NEVER reach. My humble 2 cents
This is what I am doing. Living frugally, no starbuck, no cinema etc. But I can achive this because I am currently single. If I have a gf, all these thing may be very hard to achieve. You also know lah.. all the girls around my age which is gen-y.. the temptation is too damn high.

Especially travelling...

Your road still long to go. I already old. Going to start by now. So that at least I have some money when i old. My salary not high but I don't know why I always not enough to use
You only 29 right? Few years ahead of me only... said until so old
You got keep track of your money or not? Every single cents I spent, i manually key-in into an app to keep track. Then every month I will throw the figures into my excel. So I know how much earn, how much I spent.. where I spent.
You need to start do this 1st
