low = 1500-2500
medium = 3000-4000
high = 8000 & above

base on monthly income. at this century,monthly rm2k income is a joke of life to survive especially living in kl.

For the love of God. Did you just say above RM40k per-month?
That's a little bit too high don't you think?


lol - High to me means High, where you don't have to budget and I think 40k/mth around the point where money is starting to become no object for whatever stuff you want to buy. & you're working because you love your job, not to make a living - at this point is when I'd consider a person rich.

Well, I cant argue with what you just said. 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. Hey, whereever there is passion, money will follow smile.gif

Low - would be anything under 1200
Mid - 1500 to 8000
High - above 10k

I 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.

It really depends on the individual and yes, Joukowski does have a different perception towards the income levels in this country but hey, I think Joukowski did have a point because with 40k a month or so, you'd be living life to the fullest. 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 smile.gif

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. smile.gif 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? biggrin.gif

Unless you want to take income as a score like a game... tongue.gif
