If you don’t know that already about Lai Seng Choy, he didn’t claim himself a self-made millionaire. But he admitted he controls his expenses very tightly. Case in point – if our monthly expenses is MYR 3500 a month, we are likely to feel financially free with MYR 1 mil of net worth. But if our lifestyle requires an expenses of MYR 15k a month, we won’t feel comfortable even with MYR 1 mi net worth. It’s the perception and different people have different standards as well. These are some of the more elaborate points to take note arising from this last session of the interview. After all, there is not definite yardstick, it is about achieving financial freedom in your own terms.
But mindset matters, as advocated by Lai. For him, it is having a set of solid financial objectives and the faith to go with it. Law of Attraction, anyone? You hear it from this man, and you hear it from my good friend and mentor, KC Lau in his article – How to Attract Money into your Life.

Further, Lai quoted how he first bought his first house, with so much complications. His first financial objective at that time – to settle his housing loan in 7 years?
