Hi all,

I have questions to people who is earning 5 figure salary or close to 5 fig. I may have type my sentence abit too short but i m expecting to read your experience on the point pertaining below. I appreciate your time for this.

1) As we are all experiencing throughout our career, started off from 2-3k freshie to 5 figure salary, what makes you push to this far?
i did it by setting goals to achieve every year, if this company cant offer what i want, jump ship. Luck is an important aspect too, if nobody appreciates what u do it's kinda useless

2) Does money makes you happier? more fulfilling in your daily life? what do you aim to achieve?
yes and yes, comfortable lifestyle

3) What is the difference of your life earning RM8k that time and now maybe RM15K? what changes before and after?
nothing much actually, take for example, gross 10k can only give u net of barely 8k, that's not a big difference due to higher tax rate, just that i can afford bigger house and more luxury lifestyle. my view is that earning 5 figure doesnt mean ure rich, just slightly more cash to spend

4) What do you get from earning RM8k [before] than RM15k [now]? chasing salary is limitless. What is your point or goal in your life?
starting own business is the only way to get rich imo.

Thank you.
