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)

actually 5k salary is above average lar...
people who can earn between 3k is average... which they still can support a family of 2 childs.

Just don't every morning McD Breakfast, Lunch go eat steak, Tea-time go Starbucks, Dinner go Tai Thong restaurant and supper somemore go Steambot... Then you're good to go even with 2k salary like me, taking my whole family as burden and my little brother who need RM200 per month for transport and lunch @ his primary school.

For me, Breakfast, provided by company. Even no provide also, will likely spend RM1 for kuih...
Afternoon around RM3 for a simple meal, dinner went home, mother cook. Even mother no cook, your ownself also can cook lol... can save a lot.

Earning much but spend like water leaking also no point... the main important is how you use your money at...

2nd thing is always think to earn more(like what Vince[from Hobbies thread's mod] said) Don't always think you're poor, bla bla, complain this and that... where got improvement like that even you're given 200 years of life?

3.5k++ per month not enough? Mind to list down what u use for your gf?
I don't get it lol... 3.5k - 1.8k = 1.7k. means ur gf use almost half of your money?

A gurl not worth investing money in... honestly.

I suppose ur more educated and have higher level of studies than me and suppose to be more brilliant than me that you can properly put ur money into smart use... Not gf, gf, gf and gf only...

Example, if my gf every month spend 400-500 for cloths.. sorry lar, I'll really ditch her for future's sake. Later after marriage lagi teruk
But if u ask me to spend few thousands for a wedding ring, then it's other issue edi lar. This one still can considerate ma... (Btw, I buy jor lu )

Me and my gf try to spam money on cinema every week and sushi king every month also can't use finish 2k per month (me) with her RM1k per month (her)
