Millionaires Planet

I didn’t learn about money in school. School never thought me a single thing about managing money. I usually get RM10 per week, my father never missed that. From that RM10, RM5 to RM7 is used for food. I would keep at least RM1 for future expenses and RM2 to RM3 for my comics. My wants and needs determined my spendings and savings and not what I learned from school.
The same thing repeated when I was in my university. MARA loaned me some money so that I could study in UUM (Universiti Utara Malaysia), and yes … I studied locally 
. The money was given to me at the start of every semester and I was supposed to manage it from there. At times I don’t face any problem and at times, there was my father whom I can fall back to. And again, my university also does not taught me how to manage my money. It was my wants and needs.
The problem was, it’s difficult to differentiate between my wants and needs.
Anyway, what I’m trying to say here is … when it comes to money, making it or managing it, we have to learn by ourselves or from our parents and friends. Learn the wrong tips and you can be in the rat race for a long time. You don’t have to be financial savvy but you must at least know how to make money work for you instead of working for money. Thanks to Azizi Ali and from his books, I learnt a lot (and still do).
The post today is all about Azizi’s Merdeka Sale, starting tomorrow at the Millionaires Planet.
In conjunction with the 50th Merdeka celebration, selected books are going for discounts ranging from 20% up to 50% off the retail price! That’s right; up to 50% off the retail price! The sale period is for three days only; beginning Tuesday midnight 21st Aug 2007 until Thursday midnight 23rd Aug 2007.
The first book I bought from Azizi Ali on Personal Finance was ‘Millionaires are from a different Planet ‘. Since then, I never looked back. I bought a few of his book and planned to buy another. Followed a few of his tips and even invested in another property after reading his book . He also has books in Bahasa Malaysia so you don’t have to worry. Buying a book on Money from a Malaysian is better as you are able to relate to what the writer is writing about.
Support our local writers and start investing on yourself. Head over and start to manage your money. Make it work for you
Money! Moolah.. Ah!!! YOu cry if you don’t have it but you cry even more when you have it because you want more!
It’s hard being a human! Haha..

That’s why you must make money work for you
I have not managed my money well. They just flew to the place I do not know where. I am starting a blog on my small Malaysian stock market experience. Probably property investment like yours would be much better. Do visit when I started posting. Would like to have your view.

No problem, I’ll drop by.
I invest in the stock market to but investing directly needs a lot of hard work and monitoring and sometimes it can be exhausting. I prefer mutual funds now, like ASB, ASD and the ones from Public Mutual
i bought his malay title, Jutawan Planet Jupiter and another one I forgot. Priorities should always be given to needs, but sometimes, we do want what we want.
We want Jessica Alba? No? Fasha Sandha? No? miahahahaha

Hmmmm Fasha Sandha … hmmmm…. I can’t tell … my wife reads my blog and all of yours too. You leave your link here and she will stalk all of you .. ha..ha..
I really want a K810i now.
Anyway, bought 2 of his books, then exchange with a friend who bought the others
so in the end, read 4
i’ve bought all books written by Azizi Ali.
My fav book is Jutawan Ekstreme, coz i love the title!
The book light my spirit up every time i read some pages form that book. Cayalah Azizi.
I gave a book titled Pesara Jutawan to my beloved father.
my younger brother’s name is also Azizi. But, his full name is Azizi Abdullah.

He’s also a columnist at Personal Money but I stop subscribing them. Currently only buys every 3 months, no time to read. Blogs, gaming magazines, comics … can’t have it all.
I’m buying Retire Rich which is at 40% off. It’s only RM41.90 compared to the original price of RM69.90. I was looking for softcovers but not available.
Hmm….yes, the books are worth reading. I have some of it too….Yeah,…good stuff
Yesss, akhirnya… dapat juga kubuka……
Hummm kau terpengaruh? Aku, percayakan diri sendiri… cukup InsyaAllah
azwan reply on August 21st, 2007 11:28 pm:
Terpengaruh? ha..ha.. ini bukan pasal itu Dr Azhar. Dulu aku tak tahu, tetapi sekarang, ‘tak tahu’ aku tu bertambah kurang.
If you read any books about personal finance, it’s all common sense but we need someone to hammer it into our brain. Then again … why buy one from outside when we have our own, right?
This book not much different compare to rich dad poor dad by Robert T Kiyosaki. The best thing is these book author by local Azizi Ali
azwan reply on August 21st, 2007 11:29 pm:
I’ve read 3 books from Kiyosaki but I still find the Rich Dad Poor Dad the best.
Bent reply on August 24th, 2007 7:19 am:
Your ready read 3..? I just 2 rich dad poor dad and cashflow quadrant
azwan reply on August 24th, 2007 9:06 am:
Actually 4. The 4th one was Succces Stories, not a ‘real book’ but some short stories of people who have made it by following his advice
beli buku panduan kewangan yang dekat di hati rakyat malaysia… dekat dengan suasana realiti kehidupan malaysia… memang bessssst.
Hehehe…Ktom baru tadi beli buku Rich Dad Poor Dad tu…belum buka plastik pun lagi…hehehe…
azwan reply on August 23rd, 2007 1:55 pm:
A good one for beginners, tapi takkan Ktom beginners lagi? I read it in 4 days. Bukannya apa, tapi certain things tu baca 2 3 kali
saya pun ada beli buku aziz tu. mmg dah lama cuba praktikkan cara yang dia suggest. tapi bila dah kahwin dan suami tak nak berkerjasama jaga kewangan, tak boleh nak buat apa juga. kalau lelaki yang kawal kewangan biasanya mmg boleh sebab isteri lebih mudah makan nasihat. tapi kalau dapat isteri yang materialistik then tak tau la macam mana. pendek kata saya rasa kalau saya nak kawal kewangan saya, saya kena cari suami lain yang boleh “berfikir”
azwan reply on September 1st, 2008 4:52 am:
kena cubalah berbincang dengan dia. kalau betul apa yang ditulis oleh azizi ali oleh membantu, lebih baik lakukannya bersama.
tapi, pasal duit ni kena berhati-hati, keluarga pun boleh berpecah kerananya.
saya dah lama mempraktikkannya bersama isteri.
