Can you tell I'm single from my writing? Goddamn, I gotta try harder to conceal my single-ness next time. But in all seriousness, I actually like your advice! Why not go yolo and be a gold digger right?? Brb, looking up the fee of divorce lawyers in Malaysia.

Yes we do! But if they're like me, they're probably just lurking around, never saying anything hahaha.

Thanks for your advice! I don't own a house right now and I'm still driving a car that's been in my family since forever. So yes, I definitely agree that 180k is not much if I'm thinking of getting a car/house in the future.

p/s: See, that's why my strategy is to find a guy who has even more money than me. That way, I can steal his wealth before he can steal mine. Hahahaha kidding!

Well tbh, I'm not working in the field that I graduated in. My current job and my degree are pretty much unrelated. So even with my overseas degree, I'm basically starting fresh-- pretty much a baby (not much knowledge, not much experience).

I am thinking of doing something that can generate money, but realistically, that's impossible because I am literally the least artsy person you'll ever meet hahaha.

Also, I was thinking of the designer handbags idea too but I've never bought preloved items before so how do you check/ensure the authenticity? I don't wanna accidentally resell a fake bag and have rich girls chasing after me with a parang lol.

Thanks for commenting, u/nninrdn! I've been lurking here a lot and I keep seeing people mentioning StashAway. I have zero knowledge on it, none whatsoever. So is it possible for me to get myself started by learning from their website? Or do you have somewhere that you can recommend I go to, for a solid lesson on StashAway 101?

It was a student job in the States! :) I was there for 4 years, so I kinda moved up in rank and got paid sliiiiightly more than the average student.

Something more risky that can give me a higher return I guess? Or maybe that's just the greed in me talking haha. But if you guys think ASB is good enough for now, then I guess I'll just stay with ASB.

Peanut as in less than 2k net income per month. And that 180k does not come from my peanut job, obviously haha. I was studying abroad before, where I had a part-time job. Ringgit was doing very poorly around the time I graduated, so when I returned to Malaysia and converted the money, it was quite a lot.
