    It's 2022 in Malaysia, and we have a massive retirement time bomb πŸ’£coming. The big number today was ~ RM145bn withdrawn from KWSP in the past 2 years, but we need to dig deeper to find out how bad this actually is. A thread on the πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ retirement crisis by a finance nerd 🧡 1/n

    Malaysia's πŸ‡²πŸ‡ΎBudget 2023 was tabled in Parliament by our Finance Minister @tzafrul_aziz on 7 Oct. Was it actually 'good'? How can the average rakyat figure out what it means for them? I read through 100s of pages, will summarise it here so you don't have to 🧡 : 1/n

    Malaysia's πŸ‡²πŸ‡Ύ July Inflation: 4.4%πŸ”₯. Prices getting higher & squeezing our budgets... So why did BNM just increase OPR +25bps to 2.50%, increasing our loan installments? Surely this makes things worse? Sudah jatuh, ditimpa tangga? To understand, let's look deeper... 🧡 1/n

    Who wants to be a millionaire? πŸ’° Apparently we all need RM1m to retire comfortably in 20 - 30 years time. Wait, I thought EPF's Basic Savings = RM240,000? Either way, it's a lot... But there's actually a secret formula that you can use for a comfortable retirement 🧡 1/n

    This is actually quite catastrophic. To give everyone a sense of the scale: - 50% of working Malaysians earned less than RM2,062 a month in 2020. - the income drop from 2019 to 2020 has set incomes back ~10 years if you take into account inflation rates.
