To survive and make it every month, RM4k - 5k. To be comfortable, RM8k - 10k at least.

[@Jake-ih8lp]

I live in Bangsar South. Monthly income 2k. I live alone. Not married. No kids. Not in a relationship. I rent a room rather than a unit. No personal transport, only rely on public transport. I eat once and sometimes twice a day with two dishes. I cook at home rather than eat out. Most expensive thing I own is a gaming laptop. Monthly rent plus utilities under 800. Have no personal debts, credit debts, loans or pay later bills that I need to pay for. No membership fees. No mortgages or down payments either. I save at least 1000 per month. It's survival mode, but it's quite comfy. It's doable. There are cheaper rooms too, giving u more financial leeway.

[@mrsaju6796]

Fuh survival betul hang dduk tengah Bandar Tu boleh save lagi 🎉🎉

[@masterchefglobal740]

I've been a huge fan of Mr Money TV. However the questions been asked it's not even related to "How much salary we need to survive in Klang Valley". Specially the question of highest level education what does it have to do with living in Klang Valley? And the worst of it is guessing a stranger's salary based on their highest level of education? Personally it came of pretty judgemental. I hope Mr Money TV can reconsider about asking the "question".

[@TSMSiemens]

I personally dont understand the objective of guessing people's salary. How does it relate to the video title? Very disappointed in this video.

[@SoShiVinz]

Based on the small small sampling that they gather, it shows education level doesn’t really translate to salary. And it also indicates different range of salary will have different perception towards “comfortable” living. It fluctuates from person from 3k to 10k. It shows the higher you are earning, the higher “comfortable” standards are. It’s all linked actually, just not translated into wordings well behind the intention.

[@jamesmadison3108]

​@TSMSiemens it's all about having views and interest for people to watch the video. Then they earn more money out of views. That's the bottom line of all this content ain't it? Haha..

[@davidtakius]

Meaning that Mr Money TV is also doing a collective data base on demographics level and how much these people are earning, and if you've been to a University and did your FYP you know what I meant, and you can fill-in the rest of the answer yourself.

[@iamwannabe9271]

Since when the channel is really related to anything? Its just randomly talking about theory base on their opinions....

[@hazelnuts23]

5k is too low in KV. RM8-10k is a comfortable range with extra cash.

[@davidtakius]

In my opinion, if single income earning RM10k with wife/husband and having kids living in KV, it's really a B40 actually after nett, and they are driving perodua only, provided that other half who is also working, then their lifestyle should be at ease.

[@athleticos99]

it depends on what kind of lifestyle (salary for single person) 1. surviving mode- using bike, rent a room, eat rice n 1 dish, or cook at home (rm2k-3k) 2. comfortable living- have a proton saga at least, own an apartment at least, eat 3-4 meal with few dishes, own all the needs and some wants, some light travelling (3k-6k) 3. luxury living - own a landed or higher end condo, own car price rm100k and above, eat high eat restaurant sometimes or often, and able to buy mostly branded stuff and travel like weeks staying in 5 stars hotels ) (6k-15k)

[@vannessx]

I think in Klang Valley, there's also a huge disparity between living standards between localities. Such as comparing those in Cheras to Hartamas or Shah Alam to PJ. If this experiment were to be done in Shah Alam or Cheras/Kajang, I bet the answer would be very different.

[@hamkaboo543]

i think the question should be, how much salary is acceptable to live in those places

[@HuntaKiller91]

U can live in KL with 3-4k salary Been there done that Just forget bout cars,walk a lot and eat in kopitiam gaiss or cook urself Unless u hit 20mill jackpot and park that money in asb/epf then u can easily live with 10-20k pension

[@portner85]

with the inflation and 3 kids and all...i would say total household income RM40k to be comfortable tbh

[@aravindradhakrishna8660]

Accurate, 40K minimum for 3 kids and in KV to be comfortable and worry-free.

[@palania.subramaniam4271]

Good job guys.

[@crossborderz]

Depends what you deem as "COMFORTABLE". Every people's needs and wants are different with different background and different financial committment due to their family and health. But a safe bet is RM8k to RM10k

[@ryan55235]

if you outer Kuala Lumpur such as Puchong, Putrajaya, Kajang, Shah Alam, Sg Long is really cheap places to stay when you are working KL area or outer. Depends on ur salary actually. Monthly idea salary would be great is RM7,000 above because its easily relax more than RM7,000 below My salary = 5 digits... not even flexing its all hard work and think wisely before spending or doing smth that involves with money.

[@JXiong-td8ee]

Tbh the question is irrelevant

[@AntsKong]

Ideally 20k is comfortable for Klang Valley. Some kampung area rm2500 is ok.

[@khoo5199]

Mr money.. can u do a show on is better than cpf for high wage earners .. because in SG there is a cap on contribution rate while in Malaysia there isn’t ..

[@ayumiko898]

i feel the question is a bit off..hmm

[@h.r.858]

For all those questions: highest education i have double diploma, most expensive i own is a condominium, i own a car bmw X3, expected minimum salary is 20K, i'm in sales industry. My average net monthly income is 20K but i still feel like broke.

[@jamesfoongtherhwan]

asking SAME questions every single time still need to look at the phone??? lol anyway its a good one thanks for this initiative

[@mircasyafirdaus7183]

Spend for monthly food around 1k, for single dont hv a car, room rental 4-5k should be fine, to reach comfort yes at least 7k n above n married person should earn more

[@Y3llow_Submarin3]

That girl is still young, the man owned a house in Hartamas, how can he pay with just 7k-8k salary? A vet is a doctor, and she guessed RM 2.5k ? Alamak

[@user-yg2cf6et6y]

Hello Mr Money, I liked that you've got this rolling. A series based on the living cost and projection, in different segments of expenses & in a variety of population (ie singles/married/retirees/independent/dependent (ie oku), will add value to your endeavour. Great initiative no doubt.

[@jamesadd4566]

After watching this video i conclude that majority of the people now are earning between 2-4k and 10k above is quite common in particular field like IT career.

[@ValourValour]

All about one’s lifestyle. A bit hard for today’s generation with all the peer pressure on social media.

[@gymelynsycho6916]

Even in Klang Valley, there are different areas.... If you are not born here, raise here & living here for more than 20yrs. You will feel the pinch. 😅 I'm a PJrian & also DJrian too 🤣

[@1changi]

Come to work in Singapore. Security guards and waiters/waitresses salaries are already minimum $2k. Suitable for those with SPM or SPTM qualification. This is equivalent to MYR7k or more, not counting overtime pay. If one works in admin or in factories run by MNC, can get close to MYR10k or more per month. Suitable for those who have a relevant diploma/degree. Better still for those who studied overseas. If work long enough in SG, can get PR status and will be getting CPF. Then, retire in M'sia with a few houses/condos to collect rent in time to come. SG treats M'sians with fairness and respect.

[@mircasyafirdaus7183]

Different currency value yes u earn more there compared malaysia

[@itscloudyinside]

Cannot tahan their work culture la. They always go go go one. No chill at all.

[@1changi]

@@itscloudyinside Work mah. No go there to holiday.

[@danielthng9640]

But able to sustain the work culture?

[@1changi]

@danielthng9640 Need to adjust and change mindset. Malaysians are a very adaptable group of people and are resilient. Work in SG when young after a few years can save enough to buy house and car. Later, become own boss and employ others to work with you when you return home.

[@chinkang3566]

My houses and cars are paid for and I need RK12 K to live comfortably. Yes, I live in Damansara.

[@tsunayoshixburner5943]

Anyone know who is this girl? Did she do yt?

[@OrangiWalaVlogs]

Greeting from Malaysia 🇲🇾

[@styfrung]

I look at here with my 3k salary, even when im not even at kampung area, i feel like i cant survive

[@florencejefferson8775]

For a single person like me, RM3500 (after EPF deduction) and above is enough for me to survive in KL.

[@ChocoMint_]

PJ definitely need minimum 10k for singles these days, stuff are getting pretty expensive. No joke Now slap on things like kids, aiyoooo jialat.

[@luqmanhamdan9285]

Damn, I have lived at PJ before with a 2K per month and I stay at the cheapest apartment available with 5 people including me. It made me really lazy to go out and have some fun because everything there was expensive.

[@realmlee8803]

Why ask this type of questions..alamak...there are more intelligent questions to ask...

[@adiraemilee]

If our taste is so atas, no amount of income is ever enough to live comfortably anywhere on earth.

[@scid003]

20 to 30k..now i know what field to encourage my children..

[@simba1610]

I'm a fan of Mr Money TV but this video is way off the mark. I think i've seen those same questions being asked from another KZbinr a few months back.

[@freakymeltdown1]

If house in hartamas you think their salary is 8 to 10k? Gurlll, which era are you in? I think guessing wrong salary and then asking them to declare the salary is so sad.

[@mrsaju6796]

BRO...people living in hartamas,bangsar,ampang etc maybe their parents bought home during early year 1990++House that area still cheaper...compare to now millions sudah..gaji 3-4k cukup la diornh tapi for sure they earn more than 15k ~ 30k

[@dkkdkkc6]

I live in Kedah and household income is about 8k plus plus. Stiil not enough in this current economy 😂

[@clementyeo2601]

Man.. I live in JB, 5k is not even enough to live comfortably, I dont think living in Klang Valley 5k is enough

[@izzuddinmnasir4884]

5k is already enough, but having a wife and kids would be not enough

[@clementyeo2601]

I don't have a family but a house and a car. I barely survive lol@@izzuddinmnasir4884

[@jasonphung17]

5k is just nice and manage to live but just not comfortably

just enough to survive

[@Onion_Knights]

between 3-5k guess lol.... why dont u make it between 1k-8k? lol my highest edu - SPM most expensive item - House (Sabah) live comfortably in KV - around RM3000 Job - Logistic (shipping) try guess my salary

[@BisyrunKhairi]

Me and wife earn 7k - 10k monthly. With 3 kids… its never enough. I drive a bezza..and thats it. Rent 700, daycare 1800, the rest are foods, medical insurance, etc…

[@alexlee1501]

Yes because things are getting expensive ..pay car instalment , house instalment , insurance, medical , electricity 10k not enough 😢

[@JohnnyJohnJon83]

“I think you’re earning between 1k-20k, am I right?”

[@izzuddinmnasir4884]

I wonder how you all manage to get high pay position... mostly i found especially in engineering just 3k-5k only

This is why its better to start your own business and not work for anyone. You will make a livable wage having your own business.

[@tabbycat8760]

The East Asian Woman looks like delicate lace. Omg. So beautiful

[@jesslpyee]

I disagree that you don’t need to worry about what you study vs what you do. For someone who depended on the government to fund her education (private education is too expensive), it is just sad to see people getting places in public uni but ended not utilising what they learned when there are lots of people who need the opportunity but get none. - Don’t study for the sake of a paper, many others needed that opportunity to make bring them / their family out of the B40 range.

[@alexlee1501]

Our Government are useless always spin

[@ckokkhen]

Min 5K to live slight comfortable in KV but surely no saving 😢

[@latiffdanialismail7857]

Most expensive i bought....education!! It worth it because my mentality improve. Ever my car are not expensive as my education 😂

[@Karazure]

the guessing about salary is really distasteful, you should just give them a range to choose. Such as below 5k above 5k or above 10k.

Thats equal to rm500 in early 2000. Rm1000 in 2010. Rm2000 basically SPM level first time going into a workforce. High education level should be atleast rm4000 if we wanna talk about fair

Like seriously haha.. and some Chinese are sceptical..asking them how much they earn or do for living they’ll hav some kind of gesture that you simple can notice kinda of awkward and 50-50 wanna share or not..perhaps maybe there are things are also playing inside their mind that they think the most best to them whether to share or not.hmmm
