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?

2) Does money makes you happier? more fulfilling in your daily life? what do you aim to achieve?

3) What is the difference of your life earning RM8k that time and now maybe RM15K? what changes before and after?

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?

Thank you.

1. Burden is the main cause, when you grow older, the responsibility become greater, such as family, loan, etc. which push you to have the desire to get higher pay

2. Not really, the only positive thing that I get is confidence, for example, when you at 2-3k salary, you will avoid mid- high end restaurant, but it become different when you are at 10k range

3. More money = less time, trying to protect your own personal time and family time, but the chances of failure become higher and higher

4. Maintain the living quality, not going for higher level, the extra you get every month goes to investment, to make sure you can have a better retirement life compare to others. For example, I afford to buy a 300k car, but i go for 30k car, save the extra and invest into other place

i have problem enjoying my daily life even with acceptable salary. So i presume getting 5 fig will not make me any happier other than getting confidence, able to afford material, roof for family, etc. Future planning, i m still lack of it. I think i need positivity in life.
Not really. you will get stray away from life even you have massive passive income that you no longer need to work. You will be lost.

The very 1st step to get the desire or so-called positive way - get a girlfriend \ boyfriend, then you will know what to do next and rest of your life
