A JUNIOR doctor claimed he is forced to eat instant noodles towards the end of every month after running out of money.

In a post shared on X by @meinmokhtar, the anonymous doctor said he makes RM5,000 monthly and spends RM2,900 on rental for his condominium and RM500 on his car repayments.

Apart from that, according to the post, the doctor’s other expenses include RM100 for his Unifi bill, RM100 for phone bill, and RM400 for petrol.

“I never have enough to eat and am forced to eat instant noodles towards the end of the month.

“Also, I do not have any savings. Where is my mistake?” asked the anonymous doctor.

Most of the advice offered by netizens was for him to rent a cheaper place to stay.

Some even told him to just rent a room which could easily leave him with about RM2,000 extra every month.

“Why pay so much for a condo when you can just rent a cheaper place or even a room,” said one netizen.

“Nobody uses more than half their salary for rental. That is wrong. Get a cheaper place and your troubles will be over,” said another. – The Vibes, March 13, 2024
