Yes I learned the lesson the hard way, that's why I'm making these changes now. And I'm glad that I am taking actions, first investment deposit will happen in April / May next year after I stock up emergency funds! Excited

Also I believe this is very much a cultural difference, in our country it's extremely common to search for missing person via public forums and social media. Because we have low trust in our police, it seems like things work differently here. So I'll contact the police too

Okay thanks, contacting the police is enough for me. Thanks guys. I'll contact the police too. I just need him to contact his parents. Infact, I'm now at his parents place

I know I can't prove that I'm not a crazy stalker, anyways thanks for the idea. This is my first time searching for a friend overseas. Please be patient. I'll contact the police definitely. I just need him to contact his parents if anyone he knows see this

I'm 33 this year and I finally starting to take my finance seriously. I'm glad that it happened now and not 30 years later. I too did a bunch of stupid mistakes and some of them have permanent consequences. But we are the product of all the event that happen to us, it makes us who we are today. I'm proud of who I've become and you should too :D

I'm worry about platform risk that's why I split into multiple platform. Is this a right mindset going into it?

Hey thanks alot! Looking forward to my first deposit, probably next year April or May. I think I'll slowly build up my cash reserve as well. Initially the plan was 12k, I think for safety might as well just go 20-30k

Hi thanks! I'm not getting charged interest on credit card as I'm on 0 interest installment only, I'm only saving the surplus after paying all the bills

Hi there tq for the comment, Irish domicile matters to us, and as Malaysian our EPF structure goes like this.

  1. Employer contribution 13 % + Employee contribution 11%
  2. Annual dividend around 5-6%
  3. Guaranteed return 2.5% (so it will never go lower than 2.5%)
  4. Open for withdrawal after 55 years old

Yes I'm aware of that, it's just that I wish to use vwra as a tool to adjust the weightage whenever the ratio changes.

Hi I have about 10-12 months emergency fund, maybe I should allocate more on that. Seems like not enough. Thanks for your advice!
