people who say RM 10k per month not enough better check their life-style.
fact is plenty of family who earn total combined with less than 5k but living just nice. note - JUST NICE. food on the table, decent place to stay in. enough to save even.

5k is nice... just don't over spend lol...
You can even saved up money and have a family vacation to overseas

at least a reward for an efforts saving money ma.
I earn 2k now... Well, Don't have debt or whatsoever(no car, no house)... can save up 1k lor p/month... sometimes lower a bit because buy hobby stuff... Planning to buy house before car...
Well, thinking how much u will earn in future is quite a pointless question lar. You had to adjust your earning with lifestyle lol...
Don't become like those "family" go bear 5-6 kids but cannot afford to properly take care them. In the end, need government to help with our tax money...
And some experiences from me lol... not really make sense lar..

"The more your spend, the more you will earn" (But don't until trapped in debt)
yeap... for me RM5k is enough to maintain a household with maybe 1 kid... this is just starting out of course, and for sure there will be limitation to ur spending. but c'mon la, we can't enjoy life 24/7... we have to live moderately and reflect on other people who are worse off than us... in the end, if u plan ur money carefully, and learn how to save, i really think u can live quite a comfortable life and have a more comfortable future. and if both man and wife work hard and PROVIDE FOR EACH OTHER, then u'll have a way happy family. cheers!
