Owning a house for own stay is more for own security purposes. yes you can rent but it won't be fun having to pack and move every few years especially when you are 60, 70, 80 years old.

QUOTE(icemanfx @ Jul 25 2022, 11:43 AM) After retirement, unless staying with children, one or two bed room apartment would be sufficient for most people. Rental of these types of unit are plentiful. i don't doubt the abundance of these units. it's the moving that is the pain. unless we have super professional house movers like Tokyo that will take care from A-Z for you then can consider. wongmunkeong liked this post

QUOTE(wow1wow2 @ Aug 8 2022, 03:51 PM) Hi l, I'm 30 y/o this year. I have abit of disposal of income invest in your self. find a better job that pays 30% or more of your current salary. don't have the qualifications? take a paper or post grad. start a side business. without increasing salary there's always a limit on how much you can get from investments. unless you are a trust fund baby to begin with.I dumped all of them to fd and recently I'm looking for other instruments to dump my monies. I have been actively purchasing property with a rental yield of 6percent as roi. But recently I think that property purchase is too much of hassle and I think fd rate is too low. I'm not keen of bursa because I'm not disciplined enough. Looking for advices on how to further grow my wealth |

QUOTE(sgh @ Aug 16 2022, 02:57 PM) Before you want to retire early please consider two below big ticket items first. Settle already? be sure to update parents' insurance coverage up to 100 years old as well. unless you don't mind sending them to government hospital.1. If you have kids, how long you feed them until they feed themselves 2. If your elderly parents still around, how long you feed and support them until they are gone Once you clear above 2 big ticket items, then you talk about your own retirement or fire. Item 1 can be avoided if you don't have kids. Item 2 can be avoided if your parents are financially capable or they deceased already. One biggest worry is Item 1 or Item 2 kena some "expensive illness" then you really need a lot of monies. Insurance can cover but I don't think they cover all or for some "expensive illness" doubt insurance is adequate. |

QUOTE(sgh @ Aug 16 2022, 04:36 PM) I am not so sure about Msia insurance they can insure all the way to age 100? Insurer confirm lose monies if sell you the policy until 100 years old? You mean medical and hospitalization to age 100 correct? QUOTE(MGM @ Aug 16 2022, 04:48 PM) yeap. if you don't have a medical card which covers you or your dependents until 100 years old in which your salary or savings can cover the premium, i wouldn't consider the person as financially independent cause one ICU stay gonna throw all your plans out of the window. |

Newer medical plans are also investment linked. So if their investment pays off the premium can be maintained for a long time. But generally the older you get the more expensive the premiums will be

QUOTE(Wedchar2912 @ Dec 30 2022, 01:25 PM) nothing is certain.... anyone who tells you otherwise most probably is either not experienced enough or have an agenda. as long as the funds are good enough to sustain the premium it is good enough for me. ILP is not for profit.that's why people say it is good to diversify.... I bought ILP like 15 years ago and been obediently paying my monthly premium since then.... now it has equity funds worth of like 30K rm.... not great, but not bad. |

QUOTE(gamenoob @ Nov 10 2023, 10:44 AM) Yes and they allow the global premier link that make life easier. I can setup my kid hsbc oversea under MY premier without fulfilling UK premier requirements. With this... all FX transfer have no charges and oversea hsbc ATM debit is free too when I travel. Maybank also can ma Recently I have some old UK notes which I just walked into UK hsbc and they swapped to new poly bills for me without charges. Just not that atas to Malaysians compared to overseas bank and probably less branches in Europe and no Australian branch. But in SEA they are quite established |
