Keperluan & Kewajiban Menabung

Menabung bermaksud menyimpan sebahagian daripada pendapatan yang diperoleh.

Biasanya jumlah yang dicadangkan ialah 30 peratus daripada jumlah pendapatan.

Tabiat ini bertujuan menggalakkan simpanan untuk masa depan mengurangkan sikap suka berhutang dan serta memupuk sikap berjimat cermat di kalangan para pengguna.

Sebanyak manapun wang yang diperoleh, jikatidak membuat perancangan yang betul, RM akan 'hilang' begitu sahaja. Amat penting untuk kita merancang perbelanjaan harian dan bulanan dan yang paling penting ialah pastikan setiap bulan kita ada menabung wang di dalam akaun simpanan sebagai jaminan masa depan selain untuk kegunaan saat-saat yang tidak diduga.

Mengapa perlu menabung:


• Persediaan ketika memerlukan atau sesuatu perbelanjaan di luar jangkaan.( emergency fund - sekurang kurang 6 bulan gaji ) . Misalnya untuk keperluan kesihatan, kecemasan dan sesuatu yang tidak dijangka.

• Simpanan hari tua atau apabila bersara. Untuk tujuan itu sejumlah wang yang mencukupi diperlukan untuk meneruskan kehidupan dan menyara perbelanjaan keluarga. Wang simpanan di dalam akaun 1 tu eloklah di agihkan sedikit ke Unit Amanah untuk digandakan.


• Tujuan pelaburan atau memulakan perniagaan. Wang tabungan mungkin boleh disimpan di bank, dilaburkan dalam unit saham amanah, pembelian hartanah atau dijadikan modal permulaan untuk berniaga

• Keperluan pendidikan anak-anak, melancong dll

Sekiranya menyimpan wang di bank, sama ada dalam akaun simpanan dan akaun simpanan tetap, kebiasaannya pulangan adalah di antara 1 peratus hingga 3 peratus.

Paling tinggi yang boleh diperoleh ialah 4 peratus. Pulangannya adalah rendah jika dibandingkan dengan pelaburan yang lain. Sekali imbas pulangan yang didapati hanya mampu melindungi wang daripada inflasi yang biasanya dalam lingkungan 4 peratus. ( APAKAH ANDA PASTI 4% atau LEBIH )


Antara kelemahan menabung di bank ialah:

• Pulangan yang didapati adalah rendah berbanding dengan pelaburan alternatif yang lain.

• Dalam keadaan inflasi, tabungan di bank tidak mampu untuk melindungi susut nilai mata wang.

• Wang dalam akaun simpanan terlalu mudah cair dan mudah untuk dikeluarkan pada bila- bila masa mengikut kemahuan anda. Sekiranya tidak mempunyai disiplin yang kuat, wang simpanan mungkin akan habis begitu sahaja. ( PARKING ACCOUNT )


Antara kebaikan menabung di bank ialah:

• Namun di sebalik kelemahan itu, terdapat beberapa kebaikan menabung di bank. Antaranya ialah simpanan di bank lebih berisiko rendah, paling selamat dan pengembalian wang adalah terjamin. Selain boleh menabung serta merancang tabungan, simpanan juga boleh diletakkan di tempat yang selamat. Di pasaran, banyak bank-bank yang menyediakan perkhidmatan akaun simpanan.

• Selain daripada tabungan di bank, perlu juga mempelbagaikan pelaburan bagi mendapatkan pulangan yang lebih baik dalam jangka waktu tertentu selaras dengan matlamat kewangan masing-masing.


Elakkan terpengaruh dengan skim cepat kaya yang bukan sahaja tidak dijamin oleh kerajaan malah merugikan diri sendiri. Jangan terpengaruh dengan pulangan lumayan yang ditawarkan kerana biasanya pelaburan jangka pendek yang menawarkan perolehan lumayan sebenarnya memerangkap anda.

Oleh itu sentiasalah berhati-hati ketika membuat pelaburan wang anda.

A Simple Tips & Tricks

With all the worry over fuel prices, you'd
think drivers would do whatever they can not to waste gas. But look around
and you'll see lots of them tooling around as if they owned their own
tanker fleet. One of them might be you.Here are six ways drivers typically
waste gas on every trip:

1. Racing away from green lights
When the light turns green, you don't have to take off as quickly as
possible. That pedal under your right foot is called the "gas pedal" for a
good reason. The more you press down on it, the more gas you're pumping
into the engine.Press lightly on the gas pedal, and you'll still
accelerate, and you'll still get where you're going. You might be
surprised at how little pressure it takes to get your car up to speed in a
reasonable time.



2. Racing up to red lights
When you're driving down the street, and you see a light red light or stop
sign up ahead, you should lay off the gas sooner rather than later.There's
no point in keeping your foot on the gas until just before you reach the
intersection. Let off the pedal sooner and give your engine a rest as you
coast to the stop while braking gently. As an added benefit, your brake
pads will last longer, too.By themselves, these first two tips can improve
your fuel economy around town by as much as 35 percent, according to tests
conducted by automotive information Web site Edmunds.com.



3. Confusing the highway with a speedway
Even if it doesn't involve hard acceleration, speeding wastes gas. The
faster you go, the more air your vehicle has to push out of the way. It's
like moving your hand through water. The faster you try to move your hand,
the harder the water pushes back.In tests by Consumer Reports, driving at
75 miles per hour instead of 65 miles per hour reduced fuel economy by
between 3 and 5 miles per gallon, depending on the vehicle.



4. Bumper-buzzing
Tailgating is a bad move for many reasons. First of all, it's unsafe. You
reduce your ability to react if the car in front of you slows or stops. It
also means you have to pay ultra-close attention to that car which reduces
your ability to scan for other hazards ahead of you and to the sides.And
tailgating wastes gas. Every time the driver ahead taps his brakes, you
have to slow down even more than he did. (That's because you can't react
immediately so you have to slow even more because you're slowing down
later.) Then you accelerate again to get back up to speed and resume your
bumper-buzzing routine.Hang back and you'll be safer - plus you'll be able
to drive more smoothly and use less fuel. A good rule of thumb is to allow
two seconds of space between your car and the one ahead. You can figure
that out by counting off two seconds after the car in front of you passes
an obvious landmark like an overpass.



5. Driving standing still
You've probably heard that it takes more gas to restart a car than to let
it run. Maybe that used to be true, but it isn't anymore. With modern fuel-
injection engines, it takes very little extra gas to restart a car once
it's warmed up.Idling, meanwhile, burns about a half-mile worth of gas
every minute, according to the California Energy Commission. That's why
hybrid cars shut down their gasoline engines whenever they stop, even for
a moment.Now you don't want to shut your engine down for every little stop
in your regular, non-hybrid car - it's not designed for that - but if
you're waiting for someone to run in and out of a convenience store, turn
off the engine.And don't go through the drive-through at fast food
restaurants. You're already paying enough for the oil in those chicken
nuggets.

Bonus tip: Don't idle your engine to let it warm up before driving. It
does your engine no good and it wastes gas. Instead, start driving right
away, but drive gently until the engine is warm.

Important Safety Tips

*If You Drive a Car, do not turn on A/C Immediately as soon as you enter the car!*

Please open the windows after you enter your car and do not turn ON your air-conditioning immediately.

In brief, the above article says: According to research done by a U.C., the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener will emit Benzene, a cancer causing toxin (carcinogen- take note of the heated plastic smell in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, it poisons your bones, causes anemia, and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukaemia, increasing the risk of cancer.. May also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft.. A car parked indoors with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.. The people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excess amount of the toxin.

It is recommended that you open the windows and door to give time for the interior to air out before you enter. If safety is an issue, open only the windows partially.
Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver, and is very difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

Subject: NAME CARDS Must Read and Please be careful out there !!

Subject: NAME CARDS
Must Read and Please be careful out there !!

A man came over and offered his service as a painter to a female putting gas in her car and left his card. She said no, but accepted his card out of kindness and got in the car. The man then got into a car driven by another gentleman. As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time.

Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the odor was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the gentleman at the gas station.

She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help.The men drove away but the lady still felt badly for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath. Apparently there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her.

This drug is called '
BURUNDANGA' and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them.

This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards.

So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards at any given time alone or from someone on the streets.
This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services.
