The very FIRST thing in Personal Finance


Until now, when teaching in Personal Finance, a lot of gurus still emphasize the very first thing is to identify a Goal.  While that is true but there are a few disadvantages with that approach;

  • You may or may not have a clear definite goal to start with
  • It may take a venture itself to find your goal
  • It may require a lot of discipline to keep to a goal
  • Your goal may change over time
  • This method is too academic oriented

By the time you clearly define a goal, the time has passed and in personal finance, time should be your best friend, not foe.
    Hence a more practical approach in this century is to just to go ahead and

    SAVE FIRST

    It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, where you are, which belief you have and how you live;  Just go ahead and put aside a sum of money and save them aside, to anywhere.

    Not only you should just Save First, if possible, think of a way to make it an ASS - Automatic Saving System.

    New Sabah Property : HOT !

    Famous Feng Shui sifu said that new sabah property is going to continue to be HOT for the next 20 years. As a matter of fact, he refers to both Sabah and Sarawak. Some may have already seen that properties development have been on the rise in East Malaysia for some time now especially in Kota Kinabalu, capital of Sabah. Although there have been critics that such a trend has no sustainable growth and therefore they considered it a bubble rather than a living standard up scale. However it doesn't really matter how right they may be or how noble you are, the market doesn't really care. If it continues to have more buyers than sellers then the price will continue to trend up, despite anything else i.e. no one actually utilize those properties. It shouldn't be too hard to understand the rise. First of all, Borneo is an island. Island has limited land. So 'eventually' the price of land will rise.
