Anthony and Hannah are a young married couple who got married nine years ago. Both of them are 32 years old and have three children, who are two, five, and seven years old. Ever since they were married, Hannah has been a homemaker taking care of the children. Anthony works as Finance Senior Executive earning RM5,500 per month. Hannah recently started doing business selling clothes that make around RM1,750 per month. They are currently working and residing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Now that Hannah is also earning income, they hope to use her income to accumulate enough savings to buy a new car for Hannah, because her existing car is very old and constantly needs repairs. The old car is worth RM9,000 and can be traded in for a new car. Hannah would really like to purchase a new car within this and she has been saving RM500 per month until she has accumulated savings of RM6,000 in her saving account to use for a down payment in addition to the trade-in old car value.

She’s eyeing to purchase a Perodua Ativa for a price of RM62,500. The estimated auto loan for her desired car is RM684 per month for a 7-year loan tenure at a 3% interest rate. Meanwhile, Anthony owns a Toyota Vios which is valued at RM73,000 and he is still paying RM480 per month on an auto loan for another year.

They also dream to own a house. They plan to have about RM20,000 as a down payment within the next five years. They are undecided whether to save some amount every month or invest some money so that they will earn RM20,000 in five years. Anthony and Hannah are also concerned about their children’s college education in the future. They plan to set aside RM100 per child every month in the fixed deposit account for the next 10 years. However, these savings plans would depend on the monthly budget.
