Im a uni student who recently got access to my raya/cny/general savings account ive had since a kid. I don't have any consistent income, just packing jobs here and there for my food and gas which are the only "commitments" i have. Talkin abt less than 300 a month. Im a bit of a anxious person esp with a 20 yr car so have abt 1k in an online tabung. Is this enough??
The account is still a joint RHB MaxSave account, and i dont mind changing banks (i like Maybanks app way more). I have put abt 10k into PMO with the advice of my mom and her investor friend (also gets commission from PMO). Its been doing well? Returned ~2k in almost 2 years. My dad is more conservative w investments, only buys stock at where he works besides maxing ASNB, EPF etc etc.
Im aware their experience is very biased so thats why i wanna ask this sub.
Most of the advice is to those who already have consistent income streams/commitments so a few questions i guess;
And yes, i do have fun and understand i can also invest in myself. I keep my daily needs as low as possible so i can go eat out and have small trips with my friends. This has just been a looming thought cause its mostly just been sitting there.
Thank you for your time!!

- How much should my emergency fund be?
- Is there an account you think i should transfer the money to?
- FD, TnG, UOB, are the ones i see that are brought up that might be beneficial to me. What are your thoughts on this?
