Just stumbled upon a post while scrolling reddit. This woman is impressive. While there are many articles saying Malaysians do not have more than certain amount in their EPF, there are also many people with over millions in their EPF. She is one of the lucky few. Although I may never achieve what she has I hope this will give motivation to fresh grads after all the depressing posts on lowyat lately.

This is going to be a flex but I can’t share with people irl but I realize I’ll hit Rm 2 mil in my EPF account by the end of this year!

How I achieved this:

The obvious is that I have a high paying job. I never job hopped (same company since graduation) and purely got to where I am through internal promotions and increments.

Self contribution - I only discovered self contribution a few years ago. Since then I’ll max out the Rm100k self contribution

Never withdrawing from my epf - I have not touched my epf at all eventhough I can technically withdraw anything above 1 mil

Another obvious is the compounding effect! It took me 10 years to get to 1 mil (also lower salary then) but only 3 years to get to the second mil. My dividend alone was Rm80k last year and this will just keep growing. My total contribution last year was almost rm400k including self contribution and dividend.

Edit: I find it so interesting that everyone assumes I’m a guy. Not a single comment used she. I’m not a guy btw. Women can earn good money too.

She must be a prodigy of some kind to get paid so much by the age of 35

Let say she started working since age 20 with salary 50K per month. Work til age 35 now, 15 years.
Can reach how much in epf if without self contribution in 15 years?

Dun think she can get 10K-15K per month salary during 1st 5 year starting job.

The OP replied started at below 5k and within 5y got 20k
Work hard and be good at what you are doing is her advice.

dunno correct or not but I calculated it to be 270K per month  shocking.gif
based on the flexible account of 14,800 / 5 months = 2960 per month going into flexible account which is 10% of the assumed 11% contribution which is 29,700 per month

oh wait didnt take into account her self contribution of 100k.

She didn't disclose. But she said her bonus is around 200-300k and self contributing at 100k
She also has stock and other things in millions.
