00:00If so, we have to quit our jobs.
00:01There's no emergency money to live for the next 3-6 months.
00:09Okay, do you think the current generation thinks
00:12saving is important or not?
00:14If you want to know, let's ask them.
00:17Okay, I want to ask you, do you save?
00:19Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
00:20Oh, why do you sometimes do, sometimes you don't?
00:22Because sometimes I travel more.
00:26So if you do it for a month, how much do you give?
00:28200.
00:29200 ringgit?
00:30So do you think it's important for the current generation to save?
00:33I think it's important because we don't know what's going to happen in the future, right?
00:37So we have to save.
00:41Less than RM1,000?
00:43Of course it's important.
00:44Because in the future, we don't know what the future will bring.
00:47Emergency is important.
00:49We don't know when the disaster will hit us.
00:52So we have to make a preparation.
00:53I will save RM100 a month.
00:56I think it's important because it's for our future needs too.
01:00So if there's an emergency, at least we have our savings.
01:04Okay, today, Gempak with Financial Education, Mr. Faiz Azmi.
01:11Where if we had asked a few people about saving,
01:14whether they have started saving or not.
01:16So today we want to ask Mr. Faiz, right?
01:19Mr. Faiz, actually, I asked earlier, they said like,
01:22Oh, some have started, some have not started.
01:24But we also want to know actually,
01:26when is the right time to start saving?
01:29To save, the best time is now.
01:31So if someone has been working for 10 years,
01:33the best time is 10 years ago.
01:34But if he has missed it, now he can start saving.
01:38Don't wait until next month because this month you want to spend money.
01:40Or wait until after you get married next year.
01:42No, no, no.
01:43Start saving now.
01:45But I ask, when we talk about saving, right?
01:48Some people also talk, I can ask,
01:49how much will they save every month?
01:51Some say RM200, some say RM100.
01:54The amount that people say may not burden someone.
01:58How do we look at it in terms of salary?
02:00Some also say like,
02:01Oh, I took 20% of my salary to save.
02:04So Mr. Faiz's own opinion,
02:06how much is appropriate for someone to save?
02:09Okay, put it this way.
02:09If earlier someone said RM100, then RM200.
02:11If his salary is RM10,000, but he only saves RM100,
02:14so how much percentage does he save?
02:16Not much.
02:17And then if RM800,
02:19but his salary is RM2,000.
02:20Then if he saves RM800,
02:22RM2,000 salary, only RM1,200 left.
02:23How does he want to live?
02:24His answer is,
02:25number one is,
02:26when you get paid, reject it first.
02:28For example, earlier Asyraf said about RM200.
02:30RM2,000 salary, reject RM200, only RM1,600 left.
02:32RM400, don't look at it directly.
02:33He said, I can't see it, I can't see it.
02:35Put it in the ASB or KPSP.
02:37Spend based on RM1,600.
02:38Then if you feel you can add more, go ahead.
02:41His issue is not the amount.
02:43His amount, sometimes if people earn RM20,000,
02:45but he has a lot of commitments,
02:46it's difficult for him to save RM100.
02:48That's why we have to reject it first,
02:49then we feel like we are spending,
02:51like people who earn RM80,000,
02:54then it's fun, then it doesn't feel very burdened.
02:56The burden actually comes from ourselves.
02:58People who earn RM20,000 don't save,
02:59he spends RM20,000.
03:00People who earn RM20,000, he rejects RM4,000,
03:02he spends like people who earn RM16,000.
03:03Then he can live with that RM16,000 salary.
03:06One more thing,
03:07in terms of saving,
03:08there are people who save,
03:10maybe because they want to get married.
03:11There are people who save to buy a car.
03:13There are also people who say they save,
03:14oh, this is to save for an emergency.
03:17Do we only need one savings
03:20to meet all these needs,
03:21or do we need to separate?
03:23Saving for an emergency is the most important thing.
03:24In terms of saving, if there is nothing,
03:26start saving for an emergency first,
03:27because we don't want to be in a situation
03:29where there is an emergency.
03:31For example, our child goes to the hospital,
03:32the medical card does have a medical card.
03:34For example, if there is no medical card, it is difficult.
03:35But sometimes we want the child to go to the hospital now,
03:38but his guarantee letter has not arrived yet.
03:40Then he asked for a deposit of RM5,000
03:42to be awarded for 2 nights.
03:44For example, because our PGL has not yet been approved.
03:46We have RM5,000.
03:47That's where we can use the emergency savings.
03:49Another example is if we have to quit our job.
03:52There is no emergency money to live for the next 3, 6 months.
03:54Then it's difficult.
03:55That's why there will be an emergency savings.
03:56Once there is that,
03:57then we start saving to get married, to buy a car.
04:00But does this savings need to be consolidated?
04:02For example, an emergency, one savings,
04:04and other savings,
04:05we put the same consolidated savings.
04:08Why?
04:09Sometimes we say we want to save for marriage.
04:11Look, after 6 months of saving money,
04:13the engagement is broken.
04:14It's okay, you can use the money to buy a car.
04:15Because that money is the savings we can use
04:17whenever we want,
04:18whenever we feel like we need it.
04:20But this emergency must be there.
04:22Can't touch it, let it touch.
04:24Only when there is really an emergency,
04:26I want to tell you,
04:26want to buy a car or have a sale.
04:28Oh, the sale is awesome.
04:30It's true that the back of the hand from RM10,000 to RM6,000.
04:32That's right, we know it's normally sold for RM10,000,
04:34suddenly it becomes RM6,000.
04:35For just this month or for just this week.
04:37That's not an emergency.
04:38Let's not lie to people that we have money in the emergency fund
04:41to buy a RM6,000 back of the hand,
04:43even though it's really a sale
04:44and we think it's an emergency,
04:45it's not an emergency.
04:46There are also those who when I asked,
04:48he said like,
04:48Oh, I put money in a month,
04:50I don't put money in a month
04:51because I want to buy things, right?
04:53So how do we want,
04:54for people like this,
04:55how do we want to discipline ourselves
04:57so that we have a solid finance.
05:01So when we have an emergency,
05:03we are safe.
05:04This is an extension of what I said earlier,
05:0520% but basically what we need is a budget.
05:09There are many types of budgets out there, okay.
05:11Some people say that the budget is put in a sack,
05:14hide it, don't show it.
05:16Indeed, the opinion is that it can be used,
05:17but it becomes difficult to discipline yourself.
05:19Easier, the budget is in our mind.
05:20We use a budget of RM50,000, RM30,000, RM20,000.
05:22Some people will use RM60,000, RM20,000, RM20,000.
05:24Some people will use RM60,000, RM10,000, RM30,000.
05:25It depends on our ability.
05:27If you want to start now,
05:28maybe it's difficult to make RM50,000, RM30,000, RM20,000
05:30because RM50,000 is a commitment.
05:31So let's say I said,
05:32Okay, you just make RM50,000 as a commitment.
05:33Look, you pay a commitment of RM60,000 as a salary.
05:35Then, it's okay, you make a commitment of RM60,000, RM20,000, RM20,000.
05:38But move it so that when you raise your salary
05:40or there is time to cut the commitment.
05:42For example, we have a water supply system that has run out of contracts.
05:45Don't continue the new one.
05:45So our commitment will be reduced over time.
05:48So budgeting is important.
05:49Because once there is a budget,
05:5120% is for savings.
05:52It's ready.
05:53So you spend like someone who has 80% for daily expenses,
05:5750% for living commitments,
05:58and 30% for personal.
06:00Do you want to subscribe to Netflix?
06:01Do you want to watch Astro?
06:03You can, or you say,
06:04Alamak, I have a commitment of RM70,000 as a salary.
06:06It's okay.
06:06Then you pay a commitment of RM10,000 for personal expenses.
06:09You have to do it.
06:10Don't make excuses, say,
06:11Okay, I have a commitment of RM70,000 for living expenses.
06:13But I want RM30,000 from my salary to go to personal expenses too.
06:16Then I don't have savings.
06:17No, no, no.
06:18This RM30,000 we can control.
06:19Then we control.
06:20We reduce it.
