ASB "Step-by-Step" Calculator
See exactly how your savings grow each month.
I feel that in 2026 onward, financial stability is more crucial in one’s life than ever. The current increase in food and necessities pricing keeps increasing as if there is no control. A cup of coffee “O” some time ago was only RM0.80, and today, it is normally priced at RM2.00 ++. This applies to other food items, clothing and other necessities. Looks like saving is very crucial by avoiding all the pricey items, but saving comes first.
So far, the best place to save our money for Bumiputera Malaysians is ASB. The limit now is max at RM300,000.00.
Most people don’t save simply because people are too busy, distracted by social media and get hooked by the marketing Ads, social pressure and the like to buy nonsense that does not add value to life. I was one of those who suffered from juicy marketing Ads as well as social pressure. Thank God, I am out of this sphere, no more. I can drive my old vehicle in peace. Even if it breaks down or totally depreciates, I can easily buy those small vehicles that can bring me from point A to point B, etc.
Buying a house in the name of investment is no more a trend. That was some 20 years ago and beyond. Buying a house for rent is not an asset anymore, but almost a certain liability. Yes, a liability unless you buy a house because you have so much excess money or revenue.
Back to the ASB thing.
How to maximise the benefit of ASB?
- Deposit your money before the end of the month or on the 1st of the following month to ensure that the deposit is for the upcoming month’s dividend.
- The effect of the Compounding Interest. This is the power of saving with compounding Interest. The upcoming interest/dividend will take into account the previous interest earned.
By having a solid investment plan, even an RM100 a month for many years, you can retire peacefully, or your savings can become the seed of your next investment. Besides all the other investment opportunities available in the market, I still feel and see that investing in ASB is still the better option. Why? Because it is safe, systematically managed by professionals and guaranteed by the government.
