Most Malaysians earn salaries within the lower spectrum of 4 digits and are doing everything they can to save as much as possible from that amount.

Hence is why it is shocking to hear how someone who was earning 5 digits does not have savings.

A Malaysian took to the SecretsMY Twitter page to anonymously confess that they’re struggling to pay off their loans and credit card bills after losing their RM30,000 a month job about 4 months ago and had already blown through their savings last year.

They wrote, “I’m terrified. I lost my job last October and have missed payments for my loans and credit cards for 4 months. I’ve started getting lawyer letters and one personal loan has asked me to pay the full amount.”

“I just got a new job. I’m starting next week. But, how am I supposed to pay for everything now? What am I supposed to do with all the lawyer letters? The calls? I don’t know what to do. I’m paralysed by fear and anxiety and I can’t think of what to do.”

They went on to share further details into their finances. 

“I used to make about RM30,000 a month. Last year, I finally got the keys to my house and have unfortunately used up all my money, plus I had taken additional loans for this. In October, I got laid off due to budget cuts.”

“And now I’m stuck and stranded. My new job has cut my pay down to less than half of what I used to make. I’m just happy to finally be getting a job. But now, what am I supposed to do? Please, somebody. Tell me what I can do. I’m clueless and I can’t think,” they added.

RM30,000 a month but no emergency savings?

While some answered their pleas for a solution, others chose to question how someone who was earning RM30,000 a month can have no money kept away for emergencies.

We genuinely hope that they manage to get through this and build back their financial security.
