Can a family man with Salary RM3,000 survive in Malaysia

Let's do some simple calculations here.

In Malaysia , the average family income is RM3,000 /month
(where father works, mother doesn't).

I understand there are many families whose
monthly income does not reach RM3,000,
but, to make things simple,
let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has
Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation starts...

Electricity and water bill: RM100
(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)

Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100

Meals for a happy family: RM775
(3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?)

Papa makan / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155
(RM5/day, RM5 ... can eat what?)

Car repayment: RM400
(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)

Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam): RM300
(go to work, bring son to school,
only can afford one car running)

Insurance: RM650
(kids, wife and myself)

House repayment: RM750
(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs,
retired still have to work to pay!)

Tuition: RM80
(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)

Older children pocket money @ school: RM20
(RM1/day, eat bread?)

School fees: RM30
(enough ah?)

School books and etc: RM100
(always got extra to pay in school)

Younger children milk powder: RM50
(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)

Miscellaneous: RM100
(shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...
No Astro,
no movie @ cinema,
no DVD,
no CD,
no online,
cannot KFC,
cannot McDonald,
cannot go Park walk during weekend (petrol expensive),
no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...

Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! Shit! RM3,610 already...

EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........oledi RM3,610 ....

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!!!!


(just forward from others, for us to review it back)
peace.............................

why he wants us to change lifestyle ???

he cannot meh ?????

 

[Civic-R]

I understand mostly ppl won't choose migrate as coz is not easy yet time consuming.Choosing whic country to go also a big prob.It all depends on each & every ppls view & opinion.

My advice is do our last part by voting.If still the same,reli no need stay here anymore.Everything increase like hell.Nobody cares u know.Even they r some ppl don't gif a damn wat is happening,but they can run but can't hide.The truth will b 4ever the truth.Things isn't the same anymore nowadays.

why he wants us to change lifestyle ???

he cannot meh ?????

Of coz he'll say like tt.Bcoz he is NOT affected wit everything increase.Wat he means tt is we all stop buying cigarettes,modding our cars,stay at home watch tv (no astro) just rtm1,rtm2 & tv3,no mamak stall,no clubbing,buy cheap cars,no vacations,eat roti,stop shopping,etc.

Only like tt we will survive.

P.S.:Listen to this song & u'll know wat i mean

I think he and his fellow cronies are singing "dont cha" more......"dont cha wish your kereta was hot like theirs"?


to live in cities with $3k family income is tough in msia....better dont buy car because a car will spend atleast $1k plus especially in KL area.

current salary in malaysia is does not different a lot to early 90s.....but the price for everything is nearly double......

but human are always greedy, when you earn 3k you will want to earn 6k then just keep go on and go on....change bigger house, nicer car....and still money not enough....

 

[fstr]

one good example, my fren earning 3k per month and had to rely on side income to survive, if not sure hailat.. 2 weeks money already gone... pay car, pay family, pay insurance, pay wife, pay bills, no savings,...WTFook!!!!

and long time no go pluck papaya....haihhhhhhhhhhh
