The Money Goal - SYOK Podcast [ENG]

New year, new resolution and for the SYOK team, it’s trying not to online shop. We live on our phones 24/7. We use them to stay connected with loved ones, get work done, and even keep up with hobbies like reading and working out. But there’s one combo that might be the most dangerous of all: social media and shopping apps. So, are the things we see on social media, influencers, trends, and even causes pushing us to spend more than we realise? Let’s talk about it. #SYOK #SYOKPodcast #TheMoneyGoal

You’ve been with the same company for years, but your salary hasn’t really moved — meanwhile, food prices, rent, and utility bills just keep climbing. So what’s it actually like being in your 20s and 30s in Malaysia today? Are our salaries keeping up with inflation, or are we earning less than we realistically should be? In this week’s episode of The Money Goal, host Emir sits down with producer Yasmin to talk honestly about wages, rising living costs, and the financial realities many young Malaysians are facing right now. #SYOK #SYOKPodcast #TheMoneyGoal

This week, our hosts Emir and Yasmin dive into the world of self-improvement and skill-building, and discuss one big question: how far should you go when investing in yourself? #SYOK #SYOKPodcast #TheMoneyGoal

We’ve all experienced it: quiet quitting. That period when work feels unmotivated and unfulfilling, and the weekends start to feel like the only time to escape or feel something.

Tune in for honest tips and relatable stories. #SYOK #SYOKPodcast #TheMoneyGoal

Everyone says sharing a place with housemates can help you save. Split the rent, split the bills, even split the dishwashing soap. Sounds ideal… but is it really cheaper, or are people just not talking about the hidden costs? In this episode of The Money Goal, Emir and producer Aishah spill the real tea on their own renting experiences, from living with housemates to renting solo, and what actually makes the most sense for your wallet. #SYOK #SYOKPodcast #TheMoneyGoal

Malaysia’s passport is now officially the 3rd strongest in the world, meaning you can enter over 180 countries visa-free or with visa-on-arrival. That’s easily RM500 saved for souvenirs, café-hopping, or that must-try local dish on your next trip. Plus, the Ringgit is gaining strength against many major currencies too. In this episode, our host Emir and producer Aishah (a certified travel lover) break down what this really means for Malaysians... from travelling and studying abroad to earning in foreign currencies and even investing overseas. And of course, we dive into how the Ministry of Home Affairs played a key role in making all this possible.#SYOK #SYOKPodcast #TheMoneyGoal
