Well honey, if you have any doubt whether you are a millennial or not, let me set the record straight. According to Michael Dimock, he states:
“Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 22 to 37 in 2018) will be considered a Millennial.”
You may ask: ‘what do these things have to do with me?’
If you said yes to any of these, and maybe wish there’s a way you could pick multiple …
It’s not a shock that all these expenses add up.
Think about it…
Internet Data
If you are the type of person on multiple social media platforms, you’ll want to know this.
The Unlimited Hero P78 plan with U Mobile offers unlimited data!! RM78 per month means hours of streaming, or browsing and you won’t have to worry about going over your plan.
Dining Out
Local food like rice and noodles at food stalls or coffee shops range from RM4-10.
At mid-range restaurants, you can expect to pay RM20-40 for a meal.
A coffee from Starbucks costs an average of RM12-16.
Buying University Supplies
Cost of books, stationery and printing should be around RM50-100 per month.
But it would depend on the course you have signed up for and the number and nature of projects in your course.
Catching Public Transport
Students who stay on campus or near campus may not incur any cost of travelling to and from classes.
But for others who travel, it may cost them approximately RM80-150 per month.
Driving a Car
When you drive a car, you have to pay for fuel so your vehicle can run, right?
- RON95: RM2.20 per litre (Unchanged)
- RON97: RM2.81 per litre (+ RM0.02)
- Diesel : RM2.18 per litre (Unchanged)
Netflix Subscription
As of this month, the new RM17/month plan makes Netflix more accessible in Malaysia.
Yet, if your whole family is on it, you might as well get the Premium plan, RM51/month. That supports four simultaneous streams in Ultra HD quality.
If shared among four users, it comes out to RM12.75/month per person.
And I am sure there are plenty of things we millennials are guilty of, but I’d be here all day if I had to list all of them!
