<h2>When it comes to savings, the general consensus is that you should set money aside and do your best to never touch it</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>In fact, there is a plethora of articles, self-help books, and videos out there that teach you how to build up your savings and avoid dipping into it. Some common tips you&#8217;ll come across include:</p>
<p>&#8211; Setting up a separate bank account for your savings<br />&#8211; Setting up an emergency fund for unexpected expenses<br />&#8211; Setting up a sinking fund for expected expenses (such as gifts, car maintenance, etc)<br />&#8211; Spending only after you save<br />&#8211; Adjusting your budget and cutting expenses<br />&#8211; Picking up side hustles to earn more money</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s the thing: During the first few years I started working, despite earning less, I still managed to save RM100 to RM200 each month, and even up to RM500 in a good month.</p>
<p>I even began employing the &#8216;save before you spend&#8217; method, setting up auto-billing to save a portion of my salary whenever it came in.</p>
<p>The funny thing is that as I progressed in my career, and my salary increased, so did my living expenses. It&#8217;s not like I was splurging on branded items or RM100 meals all the time, but having friends (and a partner) just meant that there were more things to spend on, and I was fine with that.</p>

<p>Whether it was taking a flight back to Penang to see family every other month (RM200), attending friends&#8217; weddings (RM150 per wedding), or paying for car insurance and road tax (RM1,000), there were some months when there just wasn&#8217;t enough money to save, no matter how hard I budgeted.</p>

<h2>The kicker came when I went through three major life changes back to back: Getting married, buying a house, and having a kid</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>At each phase, I would still try my very best to budget and track my monthly expenditure meticulously. The only problem was that whenever there was an unforeseen expense, or a meal I had while eating out with friends, I&#8217;d feel super agitated because I felt I was &#8220;overspending&#8221;.</p>
<p>Naturally, I ended up having to dip into my savings and would often feel unhappy.</p>
<p>But then, a very wise person (a.k.a. the wife) one day asked me, <b>&#8220;What&#8217;s the point of you having savings anyway? Isn&#8217;t it so that you have money saved up for unforeseen occasions like this?&#8221;</p>
<p></b>That&#8217;s when my perspective towards savings started to shift, and I became a little more okay to dip into my savings. (But before you overreact, I have an explanation below)<b><br /></b></p>

<h2>First of all, I&#8217;m not saying you should be dipping into your savings for whatever you want or splurging all the time just because you can</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Behaving like this is dumb, and you&#8217;ll end up not having anything saved up for when you really need it.</p>
<p>But what I am saying is that it&#8217;s okay to dip into your savings for specific occasions or seasons of your life. And however much you want to dip into is entirely based on what&#8217;s important to you.</p>
<p>For instance, nowadays, I wouldn&#8217;t mind forking out RM500 on a big family dinner to celebrate a parent&#8217;s birthday or a family member&#8217;s milestone because, family is important to me. Or, if my wife and I need to dip into our savings every month to pay for our kid&#8217;s daycare — we&#8217;d do it because it gives us the time and space for our careers, which is something we both value.</p>

</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Back to the example of daycare, what I did was to take out a sum from my savings and say, &#8220;This is the amount I&#8217;m allocating for the year<b> towards this specific purpose</b>&#8220;, and I was okay with it.</p>
<p>Another thing that shifted my perspective was <b>understanding that everything is for a season</b>. I know that I won&#8217;t be earning the same salary forever, and I know that I won&#8217;t be paying for daycare forever either. Recognising that there are seasons that are more financially demanding than others has taught me to be kinder to myself.</p>

<p>In case you didn&#8217;t know, Nespresso offers a convenient coffee experience with its easy-to-use coffee capsules and coffee machines.</p>
<p>Nespresso does not skimp on quality either, sourcing premium coffee beans from various regions worldwide. These beans then undergo meticulous processing and roasting for optimal flavour extraction. This results in a consistent cup of coffee every single time with a rich flavour, aromatic profile, and smooth texture.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Nespresso has a team of experts who rigorously test and blend different coffee varieties to create unique and balanced flavour profiles. Whether you enjoy a light, fruity brew, or a dark, intense roast, Nespresso has a nice variety of coffee capsules to choose from — there are even limited edition seasonal capsules too.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re thinking, &#8220;A coffee machine and coffee subscription sounds expensive,&#8221; we&#8217;ve got good news!﻿</p>

<h2>Nespresso&#8217;s machine subscription plan starts from RM80 per month, with an upfront charge of just RM50 for your machine</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>You&#8217;ll be paying as low as RM80 a month for 12 months, but here&#8217;s the cool thing — the full RM80 you pay is converted into Nespresso credits that you can use to buy coffee capsules or accessories.</p>
<p><b>Essentially, you are paying RM50 to own a brand-new Nespresso coffee machine</b><b>&nbsp;</b>(it costs RM699 to RM1,899 on its own), which also comes with a two-year warranty.</p>
<p>P.S. Your Nespresso machine even comes with a sampling kit, so you&#8217;ll actually get to try a variety of popular Nespresso coffee capsules for free!</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, after 12 months of subscription, the Nespresso machine is still fully yours, and you&#8217;ll be transitioned to the Coffee Subscription Plan, where Nespresso will top up 10% of credit for you every month — that equals to extra 3 cups of coffee per month!</p>

<h2>So, how much do you actually save by drinking Nespresso compared to buying coffee from your usual spots?</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>On average, one Nespresso coffee capsule comes up to less than RM3, which means you&#8217;re potentially saving RM7 a day if you&#8217;re comparing to the amount that you are paying for your usual coffee (RM10).<br />﻿<br />With the RM80 Nespresso machine subscription, you should have enough credits to buy three sleeves of coffee capsules (3 x 10 capsules) each month, which should last you throughout the month.</p>
<p>After a one-year subscription, you&#8217;ll probably end up paying a total of RM1,010 (RM50 + RM80 x 12 months). Now, if you compare that with café coffee, drinking Nespresso could save you over RM2,600 a year!</p>

<h2>A Malaysian woman shared her disappointment on social media after she was offered only RM1,600 a month for a graphic designer job</h2>

<p>The woman then claimed that the company used the excuse that they could only offer her a low wage because she had no job experience prior to the interview.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have a degree and they only offered me RM1,600 monthly salary because I don&#8217;t have any work experience.</p>
<p>&#8220;If I had applied to work in the retail industry with no job experience, they would&#8217;ve offered me at least RM3,000 a month,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Upset by the offer, she expressed that the experience left her feeling hopeless, especially since she had travelled all the way from her hometown to try and make a living in the capital city.</p>

<h2>One topic we don&#8217;t talk about much in Malaysia is estate planning or will writing. However, it&#8217;s something important that Malaysians should become more aware of.</p>
<p>So, what happens if a loved one dies without a will — how do family members claim money and assets of the diseased?</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>When someone passes away without a will, it can take up to five years for their assets to be properly passed on to their family members. Without a will or estate planning, disputes can also arise, delaying the process. Lastly, if the deceased did not inform anyone about their possessions, the beneficiaries may not even know it exists.</p>

<h2>Here&#8217;s a closer look at what happens to a person&#8217;s estates when he or she passes away without a will in Malaysia:</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>First of all, the death will be classified as &#8216;intestate&#8217;, a.k.a. death without leaving a will or instructions on estate distribution — this applies to savings in bank accounts, properties, investments, and other assets.</p>
<p>Next, depending on whether you&#8217;re a Muslim or non-Muslim, intestacy (inheritance) laws will determine how your estates are distributed.</p>
<p>However, this does not include Employees Provident Fund (EPF) or insurance payouts, as nominees for those would have been chosen. That&#8217;s why EPF members are encouraged to appoint a Nominee to facilitate and expedite the administration of EPF savings by the appointed Nominee after their demise.</p>
<p>For nomination made by Muslim members, the EPF savings will be administered and distributed according to Faraid Law. An EPF Nominee will be the Executor or Administrator of the said savings, and the same goes for Takaful. For nominations made by non-Muslim members, the savings will be administered and distributed according to the member’s instruction.</p>

<h2>For Muslims:</h2>

<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p><p>Surviving family members will need to apply for Faraid Certificate from the Shariah Court. Next, all rightful Heirs must mutually agree to appoint the same Administrator. The estates will be distributed based on Shariah law — it will be given to Baitulmal (Islamic financial institution) if there are no surviving family members or no one claims the estates.</p>
<p>Beneficiaries have to apply for a Letter of Administration before the estates are distributed. The letter allows the person named to administer the estate of a deceased who has died without leaving a valid will.</p>

<p>Contrary to popular belief, estates are not &#8220;frozen&#8221; at AmanahRaya.</p>
<p>When a person passes away, the estates will be in the name of the deceased until their loved ones begin the process of administering it.&nbsp;The estates will not go directly to AmanahRaya.</p>
<p>For instance, if Ahmad leaves behind property, cars, bank deposits, and stocks when he dies, all assets will be frozen at the location or agency where they are being kept. The ownership of the assets still belongs to Ahmad until his surviving family members obtain a Letter of Administration. As long as this step is not done or delayed, the assets will continue to be frozen.</p>
<p>To prevent this from happening, every individual should know the basics of estate management. Better still, you should plan for your inheritance in advance by including a will as part of your wealth and estate planning instrument.</p>
