You’ve probably heard the news. In December 2014 the Ringgit was at an all-time low, the 6% GST (Goods and Service Tax) is hitting us this April 2015, and following suit the prices of movie and concert tickets will get pretty EXPENSIVE.
The start of 2015 is looking like a financial downer but if you’re like me, you’re probably tired of hearing another advice from your well meaning relatives telling you to save a few ringgit by cutting back on your favourite Starbuck lattes or mamak sessions.
Really, does saving a few ringgit really going to change your life?
“There’s a limit to how much you can save, but there’s no limit to how much you can earn.”
- Ramit Sethi, New York Times Bestselling Author
What if we told you that you can earn good money without having an actual job?
YES! We are not joking!
You don’t need to cut down on your “yum cha” sessions or trips to Starbucks.
All you need to do is one of these awesome not-jobs! (These are also great as side-income gigs by the way).
