Losing control of finances at a young age is a painful yet common lesson that happens frequently. Here are some interesting statistics based on Bank Negara Malaysia’s Financial Capability and Inclusion Survey (BNM, 2015):
More than 75% of Malaysians said they may not be able to raise even RM1,000 of immediate cash money in the event of an emergency.
32% of Malaysians have enough money to cover a week’s expenses, at most, should they lose their current source of income.
Only 6% of respondents were confident about meeting their financial obligations for at least six months if they lose their income.
