UPDATES: Procedure to stamp tenancy agreement

When a house is rented out, the house owner should draft two copies of tenancy agreement (one original copy and another duplicate copy) between himself and the tenant. If there's a group of people going to rent your house, you should elect one responsible person as the "leader". The house owner should attach a list of inventories in the house and the identification card of the "leader" together with the tenancy agreement to be stamped in Inland Revenue Department (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri).

Wealth is what you save, not what you spend

We all may not be millionaires but there are plenty of financial and life-planning secrets we can learn from the well-heeled.


Most people know that wealth in the U.S. is in the hands of a small percentage of the total population. And, today, most of those folks with a net worth of $1 million or more have earned it themselves.

They’re mostly entrepreneurs who create everything from high-speed networks to garbage haulers. They dig ditches and build houses and grow corn and make jewelry. They deal stamps or coins or artwork and control pests and cut lawns. They also cure people and give them new teeth. Others will defend their neighbors or even feed them.

And they’re not big spenders. In fact, most of those with big bucks live well under their means — think about Warren Buffet still living in that modest Omaha home — and they put their money instead toward investments that help them stockpile more wealth.

“Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend,” according to Thomas Stanley and William Danko, the authors of the seminal tome on America’s wealthy “The Millionaire Next Door,” first published in 1996.

“It is seldom luck or inheritance or advanced degrees or even intelligence that enables people to amass fortunes,” the authors wrote. “Wealth is more often the result of a lifestyle of hard work, perseverance, planning, and, most of all, self discipline.”
