TS!

5k should be reasonable. But it also very important the guy attitude towards his lifestyle of his earning....

Earning 10k also hard to survive...my gosh!!!!...his financial is really screw up. How many ppl in the city would be earning Rm10k??????if too choose out of 10, it will or might non of the 10ppl. The trick is how to you define so call steady lifestyle?
To me, 3k can also can have a steady life!!!!

Just a comment to TS. If i am a gal, i definite would not consider How much the guy EARN? I would more interested how much would the guy SAVE & SAVED!!WOw, a guy earning 10k bla bla sound interesting but how much the guy will have in the bank saving?how much commitment that the guy still have to pay?Open a big eye to actor, footballer which earning how many pounds per week & yet they brankupt or own a huge debt of bettting, cars & etc.....

Secondly, i would not reckon to have to much commitment at once. If i have a car to loan, i would not rush to loan a house. How would you imagine if u have too much comitment at once, car loan, buy house, renovation house, marriage & etc. Dont ever hook into buy house & the next year get married. Unless u have a rich supporter behind ur financial aids.....

Yes he's driving BMW 3series and only living in a condo in bt jalil... but the loan has finished adi, thank god!

According to the kenji's reply, he/she really voiced out why I said 10k isn't tat enuf for good life in city. And I shall revive my bf's mthly expendicture over here:
insurance - 300 (for fire)
petrol and toll - 600 (client's office in Cyber Jaya)
household bills - 450
food - 400 (RM8 per meal, 2-3 meals a day)
weekends - 600
parents - 2000
Socso, EPF and tax - 1500
Total abt 6k gone...

So overall ur bf saving Rm4k. In percentage he is saving 40% of its gross income & is already achieve financial rule of thumbs. I presume ur bf is having a luxurious of life seing on weekends only spending of RM600 ....all this not included ur income of 6k......
So TS i dont see any problem will occur as ur bf car & house loan is alrady settle.
Hence TS dont wait anymore, just get married to ur bf.

Yup agree. How many ppl out there earning RM10k by 30???? To get ppl earning RM5k also not much.....Yes it can be estinmate with calculation but the fact is i seen a lot & a lot ppl no matter chinese, malay & indian is living that their main sole breader(man) earning abt only <3k......We dont require to see to far, just review those ppl nearby you like ur collegues, relative, frens & bla bla......The Fact Is there?....Non of them is earning RM5K.......having 2 kids, an apartment, an old car.......
i have a collegue having 3 kids,house,car & wife not working....somehow he manage to completed course like MBA & PMP.....i alwis curious how he doing that....he is just a assistant manager(39years old).....Will his pay will be Rm10K?i bet is NO!!!...but he is surviving....Im just putting an example & there is much more...Not i say or calculation base....is real life sharing.....

I alwis found that we(human) live in a "ASSUMPTION ATTITUDE" world.....There is too much this & that cannot survive laa.....& i alwis heard ppl got increment RM100, & complaint so little(think company threat them like beggar)...but i dare to challenge in the street, if u to ask how many ppl can fork out RM100, it will be NO or very less.....claiming RM100 cannot do anything but the fact is it can be buy a lot of things.....

Just my 2 cents point of view....
