Today, if you:

Let me assure you that you are not alone in this.

Take a look at a handful of recent headlines below: 

  • 52% of Malaysians struggle to raise emergency funds of RM 1,000 or more. Only 24% are able to sustain living expenses for at least 3 months if  they lose their main source of income.

  • More than half aged below 55 - which is 6.7 million people - had less than RM 10,000 in their accounts (referring to EPF accounts).

  • RinggitPlus survey (RMFLS) revealed that 55% of its participants feel  anxious, frustrated and embarrassed about their financial situations and 32% believe that their situation is worse than in 2022.

This means, problems like low income, uncontrolled spending, little savings and high debt commitment are not just “your problem" but one that is nationwide.

It’s now a Malaysian problem.

The #1 Root Cause to Financial Poverty

Short Answer: A lack of financial education.

Today, many Malaysians are not financially literate. 

Many of us don’t know the language of money. As such, when it comes to finances, we fail to go beyond earning money, spending and borrowing. Sadly, most of us are “programmed” to be poor and  are “trained” to be slaves to the bank. 


Is this our fault? 

Not really. This is because the subject of money and finance is not taught in schools, tuition centres, colleges, and universities. Most of us aren’t trained to become investors, landlords, financiers and fund managers by our teachers, tutors, lecturers and professors. 

As such, in most cases, we tend to “copy & paste” money habits from our parents. So, if we come from a poor or working class family, we’ll most likely manage money like a poor or working class person. 

This is despite us raising our income to 5, 6 or even 7 figures a year.  


KCLau.com: The Reason for Our Existence

Like most Malaysians, we do not come from a wealthy background.

KC Lau was raised in a B40 household while I was from a working class family. Both of us are smart, did well in school and graduated. 

But aside from getting a job and saving money, we know nuts about other aspects of money like investing. 

To put it simply, we don’t know how to get rich and become wealthy. 

That was until we read “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. 

From his book, we realised our sincere need to become financially educated and that means to learn and master the language of money and become financially literate. 

Since then, we develop a passion in learning and improving on areas related to money and finance. Such has led to us joining forces together in creating a platform for all Malaysians to learn and work on areas such as budgeting, savings, investing, borrowing, insurance, and estate planning ... etc. 

Since our first blogpost in 2006, we now write articles, publish books, conduct free webinars and online courses to share and impart as much financial knowledge and expertise that we learnt and practised to our online community of hundred of thousands readers and followers at KCLau.com. 




But, isn’t “Having More Money” the Solution to Our Money Problems?

Sadly, the answer for many people is “Nope”.

Financial poverty is not just limited to the B40s. Today, it is possible for people who earn RM 10k, 20k or even 30k a month to be “financially poorer” than one who is earning RM 3-5k a month. 

Huh? Really? Could this happen?

Absolutely yes. 

Of course, it is totally understandable to find it difficult to see one who earns RM 10k, 20k, and 30k ... etc a month to be in “financial poverty”. This is more so if they drive fast cars, live in a nice house, own investment properties, dine, shop and travel in style. After all, it is common to perceive high-income earners to be well-to-do and have absolute control over their finances. 

Sure, to some extent, earning or having more money can be a good starting point to build wealth. But unfortunately, it is also normal for many high-income earners to dig bigger financial holes or “graves” by increasing spendings and borrowings and therefore, causing them to become “broker” and “poorer” financially. 

Worst still, it is possible for them to be “just a few months” away from loan defaults and bankruptcies if they lose their main source of income. 

But, why is that so? 

Aren’t people who earn more money are smarter and more intelligent with money? 

Not quite. Let me explain. 

You see. Financial IQ is not just about how much one could make. It also includes other aspects such as how much one could save, invest & protect. Just because one is good in making money, it doesn’t mean that one is intelligent in saving money, investing & safeguarding his money. 

In other words, it is possible for someone who is earning RM 30k a month to have the same level of financial IQ with one who is earning RM 3k a month. 

Because of that, instead of solving money problems, he compounds them & makes them worse. The more money he earns, the poorer he becomes. In a way, it is better for him to remain a RM 3k earner than a RM 30k earner. 

So, without financial IQ, a person who earns more will spend and borrow more money and thus, move towards financial poverty. 

With financial IQ, a person who earns more could use his or her capital earned to move towards financial prosperity. 

The First Step to Eradicate Financial Poverty

Here, we want to see you elevating your financial IQ so that you’ll be able to not only raise your income, but also, will save more and make better investments so that you can raise your net worth from 4 or 5 figures to RM 100k and beyond in the future.

In doing so, you will become more financially confident and this allows you to be more secured, assured, and hopeful in your quest to become financially independent. 

The first step to eradicate financial poverty and move yourself one step closer towards financial independence is to enhance your financial IQ. 

As one of our students, we would go through a structured learning programme together to learn the main components of a financial statement, build one for yourself and learn to assess your financial situation and make smarter decisions that would lead you towards financial independence. 

Now, this is an implementation programme and by the same we are done, you are able to prepare and assess your financial statements on a regular basis and have better control over them.

I have been learning about financial management and investment for years but I have never had a real foundation on how to manage all the key financial ratios UNTIL I attended your "Money Hacks" class.

Your workshop does not just open up my mind, simplifying things to make it easy for us to understand, at the same time really LEVELING UP my financial management abilities.

Really enjoyed the class, with case studies, and motivated us to complete the course.

One of the best courses I've ever attended! Thank you so much!

The content presented was informative and suitable for beginners like me. Ian presented clearly and easy to understand. I could use the information to build my own personal financial statement and look at my own financial standing. Personally, I have heard of the ratios but have not really thought about how it is applied in real life. The exam really tested my understanding and I could only pass after a few attempts.
