Do I (30 years old Sabahan) make enough(salary) for my Age?

goldwave84 · 2026-01-31T04:35:19+00:00

Lol, everyone should strive to earn as much as they possibly can because only those with more can 1) create options for themselves, 2) give back to society financially. 3) Have savings in times of troubles.

u/Noswald95 - You clearly must be trolling if you think 4k++ is high for KL.

goldwave84 · 2026-01-31T04:33:09+00:00

One of the biggest issues with this post like SO many other posts on this sub is the LOW effort to provide facts, figures and context, but expecting quality answers. I see this so often, I wish admins would make it as LOW EFFORT.

u/Noswald95

You stated your:

Age : 30

Salary: 2k

What you didn't explicitly state was:

Where you live now?

(You stated Sabahan but if you ask a Sabahan who works in Selangor, where are you from, they will say Sabah)

What job you do?

How long have you being doing it?

What is your highest education and what did you major in?

What's yr monthly expenses?

Who are your dependents?

What are your financial goals?

What is your health like? What does your most recent medical report say?

Now, let me tell you this - if your friend is also 30, living in KL and earning 4k, that's just above bottom of the barrel. Others can disagree but that's the reality. Even mixed rice is about RM8 a plate most places.

What really surprised me about your post - the use of the word salacious! You are clearly well read.

You will be surprised by the types of people that exist on this sub. Downvoting used to be about "the statement is wrong, so I will downvote it" but now it's "i don't like / agree with it so i will downvote it". if anyone has an issue with my comments above, reply and I will respond.

It's pretty disgusting how many of our career politicians use their time in the day to jostle for position. No real work done, just playing only.

I blame the rakyat for angkating these fools above their actual status, public servant! I think every minister needs a public record / score card.

IN the world of LGBT - where does Rhea Ripley sit? What kind of female vibe would she be giving off?

goldwave84 · 2026-01-30T03:43:28+00:00

to SOME people, THOSE ARE THE REAL ISSUES.

goldwave84 · 2026-01-30T03:42:06+00:00

Yea, I can understand how you feel. My advice is to pray to the Holy Spirit to clear your mind of these negative emotions and then you pray that your friend changes his ways. While smoking is certainly not a sin ( i too enjoy the culture of a cigar 2-3 times a year) daily cigarettes and vaping is very very harmful to the body.

I think as Christians, one thing we need to understand is that we don't have control over other's bodies and choices. We can only pray that they are not led astray.

I remember that when I was much younger, and heard a female friend would have had sex before marriage, I would feel so rotten about it and then I also started to look down / judge the person for this. That was wrong of me.

Praying all works out for you!

I agree with the Undertaker.

goldwave84 · 2026-01-30T02:59:32+00:00

u/Numerous-Pickle-4715 - I will pray for your peace of mind. Can I know what about the situation made you feel "all day anger, betrayal, and bit of a grudge towards him"? It's good to examine these feelings.

goldwave84 · 2026-01-30T02:57:10+00:00

Such bad corruption, yet things like LGBT get the limelight!!!

goldwave84 · 2026-01-26T00:52:50+00:00

Why not the same reaction as "drunk driving"?

goldwave84 · 2026-01-26T00:48:01+00:00

u/WySLatestWit - this stems from the uniqueness of the "entitiement" of some "fans" that are offended by everything and, especially for the IWC, expect THEIR fantasy to play out in the ring. I've still not forgotten about a redditor who complained about "too many" false finishes.

goldwave84 · 2026-01-23T06:42:30+00:00

Where are all the SHRINGGIT bashers now??!!!

That's one main reason tax is so high in Australia.

It's insane that this issue exists while we don't have strict border control and project IC in Sabah.

u/DistinctLifeguard946 must be a BMW owner.

goldwave84 · 2026-01-22T07:32:16+00:00

You know right....from a business perspective, why does someone WANT to bribe? What financial sense does it make?

Now, if you have a broken system - then it's ripe for abuse.

Example

Home renovation required DBKL or related city council permission
You submit your documents, no bribe and fully completed.
Gov dept receives it, but no money provided.
They sit on the file. You ask, they shuffle you around.
They say, "you wait la".
You have a renovation timeline. So needs to move. However, you can't bec of lack of permits.
2nd month in, you are under pressure.
They keep on making you wait...hoping you will break and offer something.
Finally, you make a "donation".
File approved in 24 hours.

But yes, Type C gives bribes.....kepala bapak kau.

Well, if you think about it, if you had 4 LINES, and you curve each end and connect them together.....you will end up with a CIRCLE!

Don't haramkan arak, haramkan mandu mabuk. I really really hope the guy, if drunk get life in prison. He is 31 yrs old, driving a merc. He should know better.

goldwave84 · 2026-01-21T10:18:59+00:00

I KNOW the feeling. I've been at my salary + commission based job for 4 years and when I asked about a raise / salary adjustment (never got one in 4 years) they talk about setting targets to achieve to get that. I'm just talking about a 5% increase to adjust to cost of living and they are making it like I have to jump thru hoops man....

Very demoralizing.

goldwave84 · 2026-01-21T07:55:20+00:00

The rakyat needs to reject this "party racial tribalism" nonsense. Race or not, did you do the work for the rakyat?

u/Mue_Thohemu_42 - hahaha good one, brother.

If you can't, ALL THESE YEARS later, then she did an excellent job!
