QUOTE(Juggerballz @ Jun 13 2025, 05:34 PM) Actually I don't understand how you guys can accrue so much debt via credit card. Compulsive buying is a form of addiction lo and lack of discipline to correct. Just hold your horses and don't purchase that thing, is that so hard? Excluding health emergencies etc. Like those that non smoker wont understand a smokers urge and feeling wanting to smoke. Or a coffee lovers craves for the cup of coffee. Or a gambler's itch to gamble -easy to say just dont gamble lo, but its a form of addiction. Itu macam la Need behavioural change 1 to correct it, so its not easy. |

QUOTE(lIAmLegendl @ Jun 13 2025, 12:15 AM) So I don't wanna disclose much info on this guy but let's say we sat down and chatted about loans and other financial stuff. He told me he was in debt with Shopee SpayLater and SLoan which both combined accumulating at RM5500, he is required to pay at around RM800 per month. He told me that he is going to clear it all this year if he sticks to his plan, he had drawn out this plan where he will pick up another personal loan from AEON of RM5000 with 12 months repayment of RM450. I asked him why, he said because instead of paying RM800 per month, he now only pays RM450.. I told him that it was a bad move to pick up another loan to pay off old ones because he is digging his grave deeper and deeper, while yes it is a lot less to pay per month but the time it took to repay all of them is another 12 months. I advised him not to but he told me this was a smart move, I beg to differ, he told me he COULD pay the Spaylater and Sloan without the need to pick up another loan but doing so would mean he is forced to be frugal, what do you guys think? Is this really a smart move or is he just a retard? 1) Which effective interest rate is lower ? Taking into consideration 6 mnths vs 12 months too. 2) Can he afford to pay RM 800 a month to clear soonest ? 3) If he can afford, what is he gonna go with the diff (800-450) ? 4) Will he change his behaviour if extend his loan to 12 months ? If still continue with more purchase, new loan then how ? Item 3 and 4 is most important factor to make him back on good financial habits. |
