OK, so you’ve just gotten your paycheck, and for a brief moment, you’re feeling like a BOSS 👑💸
But then (cue dramatic music) reality hits! Rent, bills, groceries… poof! ✨ Just like that, your hard-earned cash disappears faster than you can say, “Where did all my money go ahh?!”
The Struggle is Way too Real!
For most of us, trying to save money feels like mission impossible. The Statistics Department tells us that 35% of Malaysian workers earn less than RM2,000 a month.
Sounds manageable, right? Well, not when Bank Negara says a “livable wage” in the city is RM2,700 for one person. And if you’re playing the family game of life, that number jumps to at least RM4,500.
Yikes! No wonder saving feels nearly hopeless when just covering the basics is already a struggle.
Why So Susah to Save?
RinggitPlus’s 2024 survey has some more sobering stats for ya. See, over half (53%) of Malaysians say that they’re living from paycheck to paycheck, spending as much as they earn or even more.
Meanwhile, only 33% say they can put away more than RM500 in monthly savings. And here’s the kicker—38% say they’d be in a tough spot in just three months or less if they ever lost their jobs. That’s enough to make anyone feel like robbing Peter to pay Paul.
But don’t throw in the towel just yet! A whopping 95% of folks are taking steps to be financially savvy, like cutting back on eating out and tracking expenses like a hawk.
Still, 55% are feeling anxious, frustrated, or downright cash-tastrophic about their financial situation.
So, if your paycheck is already as stretched as a rubber band, how on earth can you save?
