Achieving a million ringgit by age 55...



Do you know the important of saving? I do, but I do not exactly practiced it, until recently.  Maybe I do not realized how really important for me to do saving. This is the table that I got from reading Azizi Ali’s book  ‘ Millionaires are from a different planet’.

The table shows how you can have a million ringgit assuming of 9% annual return every year.

But I’m 27 now… and I do not think I save that much amount of money every month. I’m 27, so the money I need to save is around 700 per month?.... wow, then I have to live frugally if I want to. That means, selling my car, and change to a more affordable car, finding a housemate, earn extra money, like doing tuition, writing, and maybe helps my father at the farm so he can give me some money. What a good daughter,  asking pay for helping her own parents.

But I do really want to be a millionaire. Who doesn't?

2012

My 2012 has been a great year to me, and for that I am really thankful to Allah. There has been ups and downs and each one of it has been very meaningful to me. I started 2012 with a new place of work. The task become easier compare to the last my place of work. Less demanding and less pressure. But well, each place has it own problems. I encounter mine. But I take it lightly because it is not the problem that can caused me to feel angry. Instead the problem has shown me that I actually have issue with people. Then,turn out what I have to do is to just smile, ignore and do what I think is right. Do not bother what people think, as long as I do my work passionly and I try to be friend with them. Then, I discovered things about me. Like actually, I am not that very patient person. I will get what I want. It just, do not test my patience. It could be that I answer you back, or I will ignore that person totally. Actually, I hate the rush of impatience when it comes. It not good. And I ...

The importance of having right mindset….

Got it from a website, and share it here. These are quotations from famous people about hard work and perseverance and of course the right mind set.  It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." ~ Bill Gates "As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big." ~ Donald Trump "The last thing that people want to hear is the plain simple fact that the rich think differently [about money] than the poor ... They have what I call a wealthy mindset." ~ Robert G. Allen "If you work for money, you give the power to your employer. If your money works for you, you keep and control the power." ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki "Flaming enthusiasm, backed by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success." ~ Dale Carnegie "Actually, I'm an overnight success. But it took twenty years." ~ Monty Hall "I don't look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look ...

Settle for minimal

This week, two of my friends, decided to start diet and out of sudden, I want to follow. So, starting this week, my nad my friends haven't touch rice. Well, I have eat rice twice, but my friend, zero. Ohh, dietting is so hard, but weirdly, I felt more energetic. I guess I'm going to stick with it so that I can achieve my dream boy. Jnegjengjeng. I cannot believe I talked about this because usually, I think it impossible to cut down on eating because I think I don't eat much. But still, I'm consider as fat. What I discover during this period is that I can still live goodly eventhough with lack of the things that I used to have. I'm kind a person who wants everything is there, is enough and I will be panic if my stuff is not enough and turn out its bad habit. I always ended up throw things at the end. Now, I wanted to live on a basic things. I think that will be good because I could save more and hopefully tae off same fat off my body. ;)
