Malaysians have an average debt to income ratio of 89% (as at 2016).

Bank Negara Malaysia

According to Bank Negara Malaysia, Malaysians have an average debt to income ratio of 89% (as at 2016). That means that Malaysians would have 11% left for living expenses that aren’t tied up in loans and monthly payments. The acceptable figure for household debt to income ratio is actually at 30%, leaving 60% of income to be saved and enjoyed. 

If you’re asking why this is bad if you’re surviving so far, then you may not be ready for emergencies and retirement. Working towards a manageable debt to income ratio, or even just clearing your debt completely can take a huge weight off your shoulders. You’ll be free to make the most out of life without worrying about how to make ends meet.

Take the time to sit down, breathe, and focus on improving your bank balance. Whether you owe RM100 or RM10,000, follow these tips to clear your debts.

In Malaysia, employee medical coverage is mandatory. This may lead most of us to believe that if we fall sick or meet with an accident, the costs are safely covered by the company’s insurance. So we skip buying our own insurance and think we’ve saved money.
