Interview is important?

I write this article due to I realize that interview is an important session that everyone should concentrate on. Interview is to give interviewer chance to know and understand one’s perspective, so that they can analyze from one person whether he/she is a reliable and fully be prepared to take the greater responsibility on the job that will be performed later.


All good company should do at least 1 performance review annually; this is to measure how well, how fast they have performed during working. Not only 1 way but interviewee may also voice out their personal ideas and suggestions on how to do some improvement over the issue that have been arisen previously or currently to interviewer.

I know some of the people take less initiative and do not care much on the interview session. Generally, “interview is a 1st impression of one person to the employer”. For me, it is the procedure that one person should follow before they start employed. Every people nowadays very sensitive on ‘monthly salary’ as this is the income that they have to gain to fulfill their self satisfaction. I found that most of the people like fresh graduated student will have this kind of attitudes. They will try jumping from one company to another company to find more suitable ‘monthly salary’ rather than suitable job.


Personally think that we should find more ‘stable job’ than what is called ‘higher income’ that may not guarantee your job stability in future. Of course, if you can find the job that can provide you both value then will be appreciated. However, you must know that ‘stability’ is the value that is determined by ur performance. With stability, you can try to extend your ability to do more challenging task.

Besides that, if u have stable job performance, you will have stable income indirectly. Subsequently, financial issues will be minimized. The chances of being financial freedom in your life will be higher …

Vending Machine Business

I am wondering whether this kind of business can provide good side income or not.



Well, personally think that there is a bit of risk since you have to prepare a large capital first. Then, you have to look for a location to place the machine and rent the place from the owner and it can only give a good return if put on the right locations. You have to consider the maintenance cost as well.

The only winner I see from this business is the company that provides the machine.
Some of them are doing losing business as not enough revenue to cover the maintenance cost.

Although u can get the machine from china with low cost, can get it less than 10k.
Yet how much u can make?
1 litre only 20cents/10cents and with so many machines around lately...I dun think the owner will come out with the capital, pay the maintenance, utilities and the rental and pls do not forget the risk of vandalism, money get stolen and machines breakdown frequently.

Lets say 1 machine 10k. 1 litre 10cents is the most cheapest in the market.... sharing profit left 7cents, deduct maintain cost 4cents…profit only 3cents...

è 10k/3cents = 333 kilolitre...U need 3 year to get back your capital... Because 1 year u need to sell out 111 kilolitre, 1 month 9 kilolitre, 1 day 308 litre…

Above is my personal opinion for your reference purpose only. If u feel that this vending business can do, then go ahead !!!
The freedom to do what u want exactly when u want to. This is a great chance for you to say “No more 9-to-5 job. No more 40, 50, or 60 hour work weeks.” Haha…

Wealth Building Seminar

Yesterday nite i have invited to attend a wealth building seminar at Evergreen Hotel and it was presented by Mr. K.C.See, the founder of MasteryAsia. It help you discover within urself the power to change ur financial situation, it teaches u on wealth building and being financially free. Let me share wif u all and hope u can learn frm that !!!




First of all, many ppl around this world may not understand what is the meaning of "wealth". Actually it means that "the no of days u can survive if u stop working tomolo"..However, i found that most of the ppl nowadays may not have their good wealth management. Mostly, they work for money instead of work for dreams. This is not wrong but when come into real life, every1 oso want to retire early and have a comfortable life. If they didn't plan for their financial retirement then they will always look for money even they have retired one day...This is not joke, but seriously for u to jote down..

Here is my personal formula and good calculation to u all...

Net Asset
---------------------------------
Monthly Expenses - Passive Income

From that formula, if u found that ur passive income is more than monthly expenses, then u r the appreciated rich man/woman and have a good financial management...

So, we as human being nowadays dont too focus on single source of income but try to multiplied it...I personally have on the way to achieve its..

However,if u want know ur financial direction clearly then u must know ur present financial state...Am i correct? This is to prevent u from making mistake or same thing over and over again. I can say like that just because if u r running fastest in the wrong direction, u'll finally will not reach the destination.

My valued assessment - The past does not equal the future, so it is the time to turn ur intention into action and turn ur single into multiple source of income.

Ok la..i will continue next part on the next day since very tired and if u mind to know more, pls offer me a cup coffee,ok ? Haha..kidding la..

To be continued...

3 Secrets You'll Never Hear From Credit Card Company

We know it happens for many people for many reasons of credit card issues. Some ppl simply assume their lives will get better, so they buy whatever they want and 'pay for it' with plastic (clearly a bad idea).

But other ppl go into debt bcos of an emergency, or they finance their start-up business with their credit cards.

No matter what ur situation...whether u carry credit card debt or pay off ur balance every month (if u do, way to go!)...

So here are 3 secrets revealed - things u'll never hear from ur credit card company and my solutions to help u keep more of ur own money:

Secret 1
Short period of low interest rates
imDavidLee Tips : If u sign up for a card with an low rate, pls mark ur calendar for the day that the low rates expire. Then, make sure u flag the day one week b4 make ur payment, pay the entire balance off if u can.

Secret 2
Your credit card grace period
Most credit cards give u 25 days b4 charging u interest if u're not carrying any unpaid balance; some give u 30 days. But others have cut back to 20 or even 15 days, and a few have NO GRACE PERIOD at all, charging u interest all the time on anything that u buy.

imDavidLee Tips : Choose the longest grace period that u can find, typically 25 days. Never go with a credit card that doesn't allow any grace period. U r just getting ripped off.

Secret 3
Little payment is allowed
Over the past 5 years, some companies have quietly lowered the minimum payment from 4% to 2% of ur balance. That way u don't have to pay as much every month. Isn't that nice of them, trying to make things easier for u?

Yeah, that's GREAT deal..only for the credit card company.

Imagine urself !! Let say if u pay just 2% on RM1,900 balance, it will take 20++ years to pay off the balance...seriously! And what's more, u'll pay more than RM4,000 in interest. That's more than double the original balance!

imDavidLee Tips : Pay more than the minimum every month and save big $$$ in interest. Ideally, u want to pay off the entire balance every month. But if u r unable to do that, pay as much as u can possibly afford.

My new domain is born !!!

Finally, i have come out my new domain for my financial blog after several months of consideration due to unable to find a suitable domain for myself.

Hope u can always have a drop by !!!

Thanks in advanced !!! Your co-operation will be highly appreciated !!!

As u known, MasterCard is running heavy TV advertisements to promote the debit MasterCard. I have applied a PB Visa Electron debit card 2 weeks b4 but til now still did not get the approval yet and mayb will try apply AmBank NexG MasterCard also within this few days.


What is Debit MasterCard?
Basically, debit MasterCard card is a card which linked to ur saving or current account and allows u to make transactions using ur funds at any merchant that accepts MasterCard. The amount will be automatically deducted from ur account. The amount is not limit, u can reload as much as u can. But minimum is RM30..haha

Where to apply?
Currently, u can apply Debit MasterCard card from 2 local banks: AffinBank Berhad and EON Bank Berhad.

AffinBank Debit MasterCard — Generally, any1 who has an AffinBank account and 18 year old can apply the debit MasterCard by filling up a debit card application form. You can earn 0.5% cash-back per transaction when u spend.

The annual fee of the card is RM20 per annum.
Balance inquiry at other bank's ATM is RM1 per inquiry.
Cash withdrawal at other bank's ATM is RM7 per withdrawal.

EON Bank Debit MasterCard — I think the fees and charges are bout the same as AffinBank Debit MasterCard. You may want to goto EON Bank branch for more information
