6 Malaysian personal finance bloggers who had made a difference in my personal finance journey
These 6 Malaysian personal finance bloggers had somehow influenced my personal finance decision in a good way.
Let’s check out how they contributed to my personal finance journey (in alphabetical order, except the first one).
Personal Finance Blogger #1: Suraya from Ringgit Oh Ringgit
Ladies first. So, the first on my list is Suraya from Ringgit Oh Ringgit. I love the special way Suraya presented her writings. Every time I read her post, I feel like she’s right in front of me, talking to me in person.
To be honest, I learned a lot from her sharing on her personal finance blog. Especially on the topics below:
- Must-have financial tools to make freelancing in Malaysia easier
- FAQ: Everything you should know about Bitcoin in Malaysia, as a newbie
Her genuine and honest sharing of the two topics above has tremendously guided me in my freelancing and investing in Bitcoin journey.
Thank you, Suraya for your guidance and generous tips.
Personal Finance Blogger #2: Aaron from Mr-Stingy
Aaron is good at sharing the emotional side of money-related matters.
Some of his blog posts which I find very insightful are:
- Time, money or love – Which is most important?
- Lessons from 5 years of writing: How to start a blog (Part 1)
I find the second link above where Aaron shares the lessons from his blogging life very inspiring.
As a blogger myself, I relearn the importance of being persistent, the power of the feedback loop and getting involved in the community.
I can relate when Aaron said he probably spent 50% of his time finishing an article on editing and rewriting. He got the point when he said to think of it as respecting the readers’ time and attention.
Thank you, Aaron, for this insightful and valuable sharing. Your articles gave me a big boost to keep writing.
Personal Finance Blogger #3: CF Lieu from HowToFinanceMoney
There are just too many informative, insightful and most importantly independent views on CF Lieu’s personal finance blog.
Among the posts which made me glued to it and read till the last sentence (including comments) are:
His sharing on that medical card post alone attracted many readers. You can tell from the long comments list that many readers find this particular post very informative, helpful and eye-opening too.
Besides his personal finance blog, CF Lieu also published many interesting and useful personal financial-related videos on his youtube channel.
One of my favourites is the 10 medical card criteria we need to know.
Thank you, CF, for all the hard work and time spent on the medical card comparison in Malaysia. And I appreciate your independent view, especially on insurance and medical card matter.
Personal Finance Blogger #4: KC Lau from KCLau.com
Next, I enjoy reading KC’s up-to-date and informative sharing of his personal finance blog. In fact, he is among the pioneer of personal finance bloggers in Malaysia.
Currently, he hosts a lot of free but valuable training through his webinar session. In which he invites and gathers the experts for that particular webinar session.
As a subscriber to his personal finance blog, I read most of the emails he sent. And his sharing below particularly influenced me:
- Is P2P financing a suitable alternative investment vehicle for you?
- Credit-savvy: How to maximise your credit score
On most of his blog posts, he received many questions from his readers. And he replied to most of the questions with good and sound advice.
Thank you, KC, for always sharing the latest updates on the financial matter. And for the valuable webinar session with the experts.
Personal Finance Blogger #5: Leigh from Dividend Magic
As for Leigh, I like the transparency in his sharing and approach towards the financial independence journey.
The sharing which had influenced my personal finance journey are:
On his blog, he also shares his unbiased review on a comparison of the different stockbrokers in Malaysia. Which I find very useful for novice stock investors like me.
Undoubtedly, it is rare to find someone young and financially savvy like Leigh.
Thank you, Leigh, for your willingness to share your stock investment journey. Especially the portfolio of your Freedom Fund.
Personal Finance Blogger #6: Raymond from Black Belt Millionaire
I enjoy reading Raymond’s articles in Learn From The Pro section on his personal finance blog. I love how he put the valuable sharing from the experts in a simple but meaningful way.
And these articles make me think and readjust my personal finance journey:
The above less than 3-minute reads articles are packed with valuable investment strategies and life lessons too.
Thank you, Raymond, for sharing the investment strategies and famous quotes from the pros.
