Financial Advisor: The Real Reason We Do Not Make Enough Money

Are you in credit card debt and don't know where to start? You are not alone. The average Malaysian owes almost 12,000 ringgit in credit card debt. And the scary truth is, most of us don't even realise how deep we are in it until it's too late. In this episode, Peter sits down with Rajen, one of Malaysia's most experienced licensed financial planners, to have the honest conversation about credit card debt that most people are too embarrassed to start. Rajen has trained debt counsellors at AKPK, written about personal finance for over 11 years in the New Straits Times, and has worked with Malaysians across every income level. And what he has found is this, earning more does not automatically get you out of debt. 💰 Build A Real Savings Habit The easiest way to save money is to put it away and forget about it.
