huggydoggie 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2009 WOW. Above 8k a month for the high level income bracket? Would 8k be enough for a single person in Malaysia? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When a person earns 40k per-month, everything he needs doesn't become a problem at all. Right you are about the part when you said they're working because they love their job and not to make a living.

MTYH 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2009 for my job,my lowest income is rm10 per hour... my highest income is rm50 per hour... yet.. i hate my job... i am 21 this year... is my income too little? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BabyHudu 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2009 Low - would be anything under 1200Mid - 1500 to 8000High - above 10kI think high income as defined by Joukowski is a bit too high. For me, to be able to live without considering your budget would really depend on your life style. Its different for everyone. 1 person who has a simple life style can easily live within 5k? Whereas for ppl with expensive taste would find it hard to live even within 10k.Just a thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think about it, with 40k or more a month, you'd live in a diffeent home, drive a different car and you'd be able to provide the best for your family Edited September 20, 2009 by huggydoggie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CyBeR 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 I think that by level of income you'd probably mean 'in comparison.'We should probably compare our income with mean income at national, regional (asian) and international levels. I don't know about you all, but in practice I think we should just compare what we have with what we want. Isn't it simpler? Unless you want to take income as a score like a game...
