Hello r/MalaysianPF,
I am 26 this year and had just started working 6 months ago. My take home pay is +-RM2,550 if I don’t take leaves. I work Monday-Saturday, 8:00-19:00.
Here’s my monthly spending breakdown :
Accomodation = RM800 (there’s nothing I can do about this, housing in this area pretty much cost the same. But the location is very good because I can walk to office.
F&B = RM450 (More or less, never more)
Parents = RM200
Petrol = RM100 (I don’t have a car but the company let me use one if needed and sometimes I borrow friend’s car)
Student Loan = RM84
Entertainment = RM 45
Laundry = RM40
Phone = RM30
Internet = RM35
Total Essential Cost = RM1784
That leave me around RM766 each month. Normally I’d save this up or buy something nice for myself. I am on LDR so not really spending on dates, just some casual gifts and surprises.
I used up all my saving(Wahed+TabungHaji) recently to pay money I owe to my brother and mother.
Now I am looking for advice on how to place myself in a better financial position. How can I have 3 or 6 months emergency saving faster, or where should I put all my money going forward. I am also plannig to have my own car but that is currently not feasible.
Thanks in advance.
