"kwai mm chi a ma hai lui yan meh"

Yaman.. if i were to go overseas and work and just to get that 5K.. i think its beter to try ur luck in kl man.. y do u wana go so far to look for that 5K

ppl go overseas is to look for that 10 - 20K la.. Halo...

wake up bro... wake up...

"or hai jong yi chi dou kong ah"

people who're earning $22k per month.. it's amazing the amount of income tax you pay as well.. $6k+/mth..

that leaves your take home pay being reduced to about ~$15k/mth.. still a hansome chunk of income.. but it's definitely not $22k anymore.

so you rather earn lower pay than getting into the higher tax bracket?

nope.. earning it tax free.

Any one from medical line? can share some tips?

The more you earn, the more you spent. Bottom line is that how much do we save at the end of the day. You can earn 22K a mth but you tend to spend more at the same time.

Also please bear in mind, big money also comes with bigger responsibility. Do you have the capability to hold the responsibility? No company will pay you extra if you are not valuable to the company.

Exactly. The most important thing is expertise. Be the best on your profession..

i tend to earn over rm5k and on the other hand another income of more than 5k coming from investment when i am 28.i hope i can achieve it^^on time.
now on the progress 10% and still pending

y u guys worry so much, our beloved PM goal is to raise the household income. By then, most ppl will make 5k at 28
Hopefully we dun have to wait till 2020, else if you add in the 3% fixed annual inflation rate, 5k will become 3.7k but we need to ask him, how is he going to increase our income?
According to economics, the most direct way to increase household income is to increase its productivity or GDP.
Next question is, how do we increase GDP?
Again, according to economics theory, the most direct way to increase GDP is to increase either its labour, capital or technology stock.
labour--> we dun have much talents (all going oversea), but we have lots of bangla and indon.. dun know they can increase our productivity or not
capital--> infrastructure or machine, we have cyberjaya, the famous ghost town at least... though our broadband speed still in 1 megabytes for household... I think thailand is better than us
technology stock--> We dun have much to brag about but at least we have an astronaut rite?

LOL. This will not happen in the next 50 years. You go and see how majority of Malaysian working force is still working for RM800 basic + OT + allowance. You don't expect some boutique paying RM5k for some promoters or Tesco paying RM5k for a cashier... The blue collar class outmatch white collar in a very large quantity. Don't be fooled by people posting here saying it's very EASY to get RM5k at 28. 99.9% of people who earns RM800 a month is not going to have free time to post in this forum.

I agreed.. it is not easy to earn that 5K a month in KL. But then if you think of it 5K is not that much either, you have loads of bills to pay and at the end of the day we left little just for ourselves...

i would say the living standards in kl is not balanced. We need to earn this amount in order to get a house + a better vehicle for you to travel around. To shop a little on weekends and to enjoy life with some beers.

Many of my friends still haven't achieve that 5K in 28 now but some do... The point is to get that 5K is not an easy task at all.

Anyone here doing any side business for extra income? any recommends?

so true, but i hope i cna work to the number before i turn 30.. 23~24 here.. plausible i guess.

ppl here WANT to hear that 5K is common.
"ppl around me say they earn more than that so i should also earn more than that"

this topic is poisonous

MLMers will laugh at this thread becos 5K is a measly sum, it shows a definate lack of initiative to earn money.

you mean those pyramid scheme people?

Yup yup, RM5k is less than USD1.5k but what to do? Majority of Malaysian earn very low gross annual income, and foreigners are amazed at Malaysian taking a 30-year housing loan, or bearing a 9-year hp just to buy some low end Japanese made car.

the important thing is to be realistic both in income and expenses
try not to overcommit, or lead a lifestyle u cannot afford.

at the same time keep working towards ur vision.

u work wif wat u have. dun always spend time envy wat others have.
spend that time doing wat u need to do
