Break the cycle and live a debt-free life




Debt is a double-edged sword. If debts are managed well, they will improve our lives and help us accomplish our goals, for instance obtaining an education, purchasing a home or expanding our businesses. If they aren’t, they will invite problems into our lives.

So, how do you know if your debt is kept at a healthy level? Let’s take a look at the debt-to-income ratio (DTI):






1 Section 5, Act 360 Insolvency Act 1967
2 Malaysian Department of Insolvency, Bankruptcy Statistics 2022 (data from 2018 to September 2022)




Here are some tips for managing your money effectively to avoid debt:



START PLANNING
– Make a budget and stick to it
– Set realistic financial goals

STAY DISCIPLINED
– Continue repaying the debt
– Track your spending
– Pay off your credit card bill on time every month
– Be a smart buyer and avoid impulsive purchases

START SAVING / INVESTING
– Save to purchase something you really need
– Invest every month to achieve your financial goals
