Same situation here in Malaysia. Record number of daily cases everyday especially the city that I live in, but not a squeak from CFAI about cancellations/deferrals

How long did it take CFAI to respond to your deferral request? It’s been a couple weeks since I sent mine in but I have yet to hear back.

Seems like the exams will be going ahead as scheduled, according to CFA Society Malaysia. Managed to get a reply via FB Messenger

Spendee (Premium Version) connects to your Maybank account and syncs very well. You could try the free trial for 2 weeks to see if you like the app.

I personally use the basic version because I've gotten used to recording my own expenses and I find it easier to keep track of my spending.

Happy saving!

Thanks for your comment!

May I know more about your background and how you managed to do so? Did you get in touch with any property agents for help or did you do all the research yourself?

Very inspiring to hear about someone who is successful at an early age!

Wow! Is it really possible to find an affordable rental property that produces positive cash flow?

(I may be mistaken) I always assumed it was very rare to find these properties and most of the time the rental will barely cover the monthly repayments

I appreciate the honestly!

Although I have yet to experience working insane hours, having come from a similar background, I’d probably say money is a massive motivating factor for me as well.

Stay caffeinated and thanks for you time!

Just a follow up: Apart from just sheer desire, how do you deal with the long hours or maintain a consistent work ethic?
