for me asb loan is for those who think about long term, after retirement where that day we don't have enough capability to do work, but at least we still have money to keep survive + for our children..

frankly, im still young.. i take rm200k asb loan for 25 years tenure. my target is 1m after 25 YEARS. if i'm not survive that long, it also for my family's benefit. it's ok.
my method, i'm not touching my dividend at all. don't worry, if some say suddenly got emergency where u need to use money immediately, it's your choice. u can cash out that dividend anytime after 1 year. it's ok

based on example situation ... lets say dividend is 7% every month (worst case scenario) .. itu belum campur bonus lagi

i pay rm1132 per month / rm13584 per year.

so total i pay rm339600.

but then... after 25 years, i manage to get rm 1,014,473.


so, conclusion is .... i just pay rm339,600, but i get rm1,014,473 back.

instead if i'm not taking advantage of asb loan ... i just got that rm339,600 from my own saving only.

so, ape yang rugi nyer amek asb loan? idop sengsara 25 tahun? kalau betol la rasa macam sengsara, amek method laen. tahun ke-2 byr guna untung dividen aje, tak payah nak sentuh dah duit gaji tu. 1 sen pon tak luak dari gaji. cuma untung sikit la, sikit takpe... at least still ada. dari tak ada langsung?

the answer is NO. u can try google comparison between asb loan VS simpan sendiri. there's lot across internet. big amount of starting capital give more dividen profit....

(rm1132 x 12) x 7% = u only gain rm950.88 for first year

instead of asb loan ..

((rm200,000) + (rm1132 x 12)) x 7 = try calculate urself about rm14,000 first year only. lets say, after 5 years if u wish to terminate the loan, u already have rm105k profit++ .... eventough u just spend rm67920 for 5 years. still invest benefit maa... this is investment, not free money.

like i said before, diz is my long term saving... 1,014,473 MINUS the RM 339600 = rm674,873. still got benefit
25 years might be so long, but some people do the 5 years trick. no need to settle back all the rm200,000 ....
but the rm200,000 help boosting divident profit even in short term period compared to starting with rm0 ... cheers
