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?
Started at 2.2k. career is my passion. You can say I love my job. So even in early stage, I did part time in related to my career as well. The money just came along with it when the bosses noticed that you're performing well.

2) Does money makes you happier? more fulfilling in your daily life? what do you aim to achieve?
Actually more money doesn't makes me any happier. Sure, I can afford to buy a big house. But it brings with it added responsibility. I used to enjoy doing things, but now I'm planning for people to do those things. I do not enjoy the planning as much as I enjoyed doing it. In fact, I'm slowly losing passion in my career.

3) What is the difference of your life earning RM8k that time and now maybe RM15K? what changes before and after?
Small house to super Big house. Saga to used Japanese car. Sure, I've a lot of dream cars which I can afford. But I'm not willing to spend money on it. Maybe because my mindset is still the same. There's heartache in overspending for things of my own. I've no qualms on spending on other people though. In fact, I've given a GTi to my ex (behind my wife's back). I'm not sure why I did that. We did not have an affair. Maybe I'm just guilty for dumping her

4) What do you get from earning RM8k [before] than RM15k [now]? eg: new BMW or Mercedes. What is your point or goal in your life?
I actually feel more depressed. Playing with my kids take my mind off things. I still don't know what I want.


Thank you.
