Ive posted plenty about cost of living in Malaysia and introduced the topic of increasing income to counter devalued money.
Today in the Malaysian Insider there is a article on the general topic and to quote:
"They drive for Uber, deliver groceries for Instacart, run errands for TaskRabbit, and rent spare rooms on Airbnb."
Right. So this thread is for expats wondering how to increase income in the face of inflation and lack of salary increment. Its not a get rich or business thread but to discuss the problems and how to solve them.
Many expats have solid employment, high income and dont need to worry. But others work for lower fixed salaries or are even on MM2H programs and will not be able to make ends meet later.
I know at least one person who happened to own one of the cars Uber requires and will drive at night after work for his second income. Others are renting out rooms, renting out tools, use of their washing machine, use of their car or motorbike.
Other expats are becoming in jams and have no clue at all what to do. So this thread will hopefully spawn ideas and solutions so that those wishing to stay here will be able to do so. Old thinking doesnt work anymore. Flexibility and adaptability does.
