Maybank vs Public Bank Savings Account Interest Rate

Do you know how much interest will you get if you keep your money in your bank savings account nowadays? Someone has asked me which bank savings account work best, MayBank or Public Bank? I told him that basically, all savings accounts are the same. The main purpose is for us to save money only. Without consuming lot of time, I told him that he should open a savings account at a bank, which is convenient for him to do transaction or finding the one that is near to his home. This is because there is slight difference in interest rates.

Here are some of the savings account interest rates obtained from the banks’ latest updated information:

goldcoin

If you are planning to diversify your investments portfolio, then you can try to do gold investment. Most of the people believe that gold investment is a good investment. 1 of my client had bought gold as their investment before and made roughly around 10%-15% for the investment which is better than fixed deposit.

For me, gold investment is another good option that you may try to consider in order to diversify your investment risk. If you are medium to long term investors then it may suit you since it is a moderate risk kind of investment.

My Review on the Gold Investment Market

Based on what i known, i can say that gold investment has grown dramatically in this few years, but it is still just a tiny proportion if you compare with the stock investment.

Earlier Retirement via Property Investment

Many of my friends who did not have higher education are all to be more adventurous and grab any golden opportunity to earn a higher income in a strong currency. Most of them went to working oversea as they think that the amount that earns working overseas in 1 year is almost equivalent to at least 3-5 years of working in Malaysia.

I hope one day I managed to accumulate extra income over RM10k per month to allow me to retire comfortably. I have promised myself that my goal is to retire debt free, which is before the age of 65. But now, I have changed my mind and set higher target, which must achieve it within the next 10 years by just property investment.
