Read this from my bro's blog and i find this hilarious but so true...
An average income of each family is RM3,000.00. That depends on whether one is working and the other is not OR a combine salary of all both husband and wife of RM3,000.00.
"Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has
Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....
Calculation starts...

(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)
Phone bill (Telekom): RM50
Meals for a happy family: RM775 (maybe got to be lesser)
(3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?)
Car repayment: RM400 (that is because it is a Proton)
(A proton saga aeroback, 7 years repayment)

(go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running)

How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???
Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle?
How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study?
Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month! !!
What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh... sorry .... it should be Malaysians Boleh because we're still alive and kicking!!
Our politicians must be mad!!!! "

there's a campaign to change their ways
http://takenotetakeheart.blogspot.com/2008/06/will-owner-of-wrf-40-please-stand-up.html
instead of the 'rakyat' to change our ways, get the MPs to change theirs first. Walk the talk!!!
The value of money, regardless of the currency is always falling. Changing our livestyle by cutting costs in every way possible will not help.
I read somewhere that because the real inflation value is understated, so too are all our salary increment. We will never make enough to catch up with the rising cost of living if we haven't already made enough by 1990. Not it's not the time to rely on increment.
If we want to be above such worries, the only solution is to make more than enough through ways other than the current jobs we are holding.
Yes pencilman, what u say is so true! The only way is make money from other jobs, be a business owner and bloom from there.
Actually, now is not even the time to become a business owner even...
I work in Damansara Uptown, and many businesses are open and close within the same year, change ownership and all. What we do need is a smart business plan, one that does not burn you out. A customer of mine told me to set up a restaurant business is not a good idea now as a few who owes the bank loans of setting up the business when bust.
This is a real test of survival now... can we really be Malaysian Boleh at a long run?
