First things first: Where did 2023 go?<\/p>\n

December has ended – which means it\u2019s time to welcome a new year whether you are ready or not. It\u2019s time for 2023.<\/p>\n

A new year also usually means a new you. It\u2019s that time of the year when you\u2019re busy making new year\u2019s resolutions and pledges to commit to a better you.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s common knowledge that most new year resolutions don\u2019t make it past February. However, it is possible to make realistic resolutions.<\/p>\n

But before that, let\u2019s take a look at some of the \u2018basic\u2019, popular, and overused resolutions to see how much they would cost.<\/p>\n

<\/span>1. Exercise more<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Just speak to a few friends or colleagues and you\u2019ll hear people wanting to get rid of their muffin tops, beer bellys, and flabby arms. So what do you do? You hop on the bandwagon and get a gym membership.<\/p>\n

The average price for a gym membership in the Klang Valley is about RM200, but that\u2019s not all. You\u2019ll still need to get new clothes and shoes exercise in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\t
Gym<\/th>Cost<\/th>Total<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Membership<\/td>RM200<\/td>RM2,400<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Shoes<\/td>RM150<\/td>-<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Clothes<\/td>RM200<\/td>-<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
<\/td><\/td>RM2,850 a year<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n\n

Don\u2019t forget that a lot of gyms are set up to automatically bill your credit card each month. Regardless of whether you actually use the facilities or not.<\/p>\n

Some gyms are offering memberships without a monthly commitment, so perhaps you can take advantage of that. However, getting monthly passes can be more expensive than going for the 12-month contract and that is something to consider.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t splurge! <\/strong><\/h3>\n

When it comes to fitness, luckily it\u2019s not that difficult to save money.<\/p>\n

Use the gym facility in your condo of workplace. You\u2019re already paying for it anyway. If you don\u2019t have access to that, you can join KL meet up<\/a><\/u> or Facebook groups where people meet at a public venue every week to workout.<\/p>\n

You could also start slow by taking the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. Research<\/a><\/u> shows that seven minutes of stairs-climbing everyday can reduce the risk of heart attack by 50 percent. After all, it\u2019s better to ease into your new healthier lifestyle.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2. Learn a new language<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s fairly easy to pick up foreign languages if you binge watch shows from a particular country. Notice how many people have begun picking up Korean or Japanese these days?<\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s best to take a class if you want to speak the language fluently.<\/p>\n

Based on the price list provided by the LMF International Language Academy, here\u2019s how much it would cost for you to learn a new language:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\t
<\/td>Group Class<\/th>Private Class<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Course Fee<\/td>RM750<\/td>RM1,500 (10 hours)
\n
\nRM3,000 (24 hours) <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Registration Fee <\/td>RM60 <\/td>RM60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Books and Materials<\/td>RM150<\/td>RM150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Total <\/th>RM960<\/th>RM3,210\/RM1,710<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n\n
*price above is for Korean classes<\/em><\/h6>\n

Some language centers charge up to RM2,000 per level if you really want to go all in, take exams, and get certification.<\/p>\n

Cut the cost! <\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re not really looking to become a professional language expert but simply want to understand what\u2019s going on in your favourite K-drama, then you can opt for cheaper alternatives.<\/p>\n

For example, YMCA offers 11 language classes up to five levels, all below RM400 per level. The Intercultural Language School offers nine languages starting at RM405 per level, and you can choose from three different locations in Kuala Lumpur, Subang, or Damansara.<\/p>\n

Is there a way to do it for free? Yes, there is. One of the most popular language app at the moment is Duolingo, which offers over 30 languages – including High Valyrian and Klingon! Other good apps for learning new languages are Basuu, And Babbel.<\/p>\n

Apps are not good replacements for having a dedicated teacher, but they do the job if you can\u2019t afford the fees or find the time to attend classes.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3. Clear your credit card debt <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

If anything, this is the one resolution that you should not give up on. Moving forward into a new year, you want to start with a clean slate and reduce your debt.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re probably tired of your monthly commitments taking a huge chunk out of your paycheck. So use that as the motivation to see this resolution through.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss your payments! <\/strong><\/h3>\n

One way to clear you credit card debt is by opting for a balance transfer. Yes, we know you don\u2019t really want to get another credit card with your outstanding debts – but this will slash your monthly repayments rates and reduce your burden.<\/p>\n

If you have maxed out several credit cards and cannot deal with too many monthly repayments, then perhaps getting a personal loan is your next best option. You can consolidate your debt, pay them off with a lump sum, then focus on just one payment every month.<\/p>\n

Total debts<\/center><\/h3><\/span>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
Debts\/Loans<\/th>Interest rate<\/th>Repayment<\/th>Total interest<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Credit Card A - RM10,000<\/td>15% p.a.<\/td>RM500<\/td>RM1,579<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Credit Card B - RM5,000<\/td>15% p.a.<\/td>RM250<\/td>RM790<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Personal Loan - RM50,000<\/td>13.09% p.a.<\/td>RM1,140<\/td>RM45,760<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Total<\/strong><\/td><\/td>RM1,890<\/td>RM17,366<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Debt Consolidation with Personal Loan<\/h3><\/center><\/span>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t
Total debt<\/th>Interest rate<\/th>Repayment<\/th>Duration<\/th>Total interest<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
RM65,000<\/td>9% p.a.<\/td>RM1,098<\/td>4 years (48 months)<\/td>RM12,641.33<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

*The calculation of the existing debts assume you pay RM1,890.00 per month until paid off<\/p>\n

As per the table above, we can see the debt consolidation will save you up to RM273 a month, and you will also be paying a much lower total interest at the end of 48 months. There\u2019s really no downside here.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\u00a04.\u00a0Travel more <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Traveling is another great way to widen your horizons and challenge yourself. Going to a new place where you don\u2019t speak the language, ordering food, trying to get directions, haggling with vendors – it\u2019s a very enriching process.<\/p>\n

Traveling is not cheap. Even heading up to Penang and going over to Melaka can easily take up RM300 to RM500 for flight tickets, fueling up, hotel rooms, and food.<\/p>\n

For example: Cost of traveling to Bali for a 4-day\/3-night trip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\t
Roundtrip tickets (KUL-DPS)<\/td>RM1000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Accommodation<\/td>RM1,050<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Food and transport<\/td>RM500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Souvenirs<\/td>RM100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Total cost<\/th>RM2,050<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n\n

Cost of traveling to Bali for a 4-day\/3-night trip using Google flights and Traveloka<\/h3>\n

\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\t
Roundtrip tickets<\/td>RM632<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Accommodation<\/td>RM650<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Food and transport<\/td>RM500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Souvenirs<\/td>RM100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Total cost<\/th>RM1,470<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n
\n*costs are only estimates based on Google flights, Traveloka etc. and are subject to change.<\/em><\/h6>\n

Don\u2019t be spontaneous!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We would all like to be able to go overseas on a whim, but that just isn\u2019t practical. Instead, you need to plan like you\u2019ve never planned before.<\/p>\n

Watch airline prices like a hawk. The Malaysian Association of Tour & Travel Agents organises the MATTA Fair and offers ridiculously low prices on fares. In fact, put 22 March 2024 on your calendar now. You could also play the long game. Google Flights monitors airline prices in real time, and can be set to give you an alert if fares to your chosen destination drop below a certain level.<\/p>\n

Being flexible about where you\u2019re going might also help. You don\u2019t have to always go to popular travel locations to get that Instagram post. Less popular cities might be better as you don\u2019t have to fight with crowds to get that perfect shot.<\/p>\n

Finally, don\u2019t plan holidays during peak travel periods. For example, summer holidays in Europe raise prices dramatically around the world, while local public school holidays could also affect your plans.<\/p>\n

<\/span>5. Take up a new hobby <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

We live only once, and we\u2019re constantly looking for ways to enrich our lives and make the most out of it.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of fun things you can try in the Klang Valley. If you\u2019ve always admired Patrick Swayze\u2019s flair and swag in Dirty Dancing, go ahead and take up salsa dancing now<\/a><\/u>.<\/strong> Salsa classes generally cost about RM120 to RM150 a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\t
Class <\/th>Cost<\/th>Total<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Salsa lessons<\/td>RM120<\/td>RM1,440 a year<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Salsa shoes<\/td>RM120<\/td>RM 120<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Salsa partner <\/td>FOC (available in studio)<\/td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Total<\/th><\/td>RM1,560 a year<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n\n

It\u2019s okay to make new year\u2019s resolutions, but the trick is to have specific, attainable goals. We hope this year you will be one step closer to picking up that new language or mastering that new dance. Good luck!<\/p>\n
