About
Money Mamak is where honest conversations about money happen — no jargon, no judgment, just real talk about the financial decisions we're all trying to figure out.
Think of it as your late-night mamak session, but instead of debating football or politics, we're breaking down budgets, side hustles, investing, and all the money stuff nobody taught us in school.
What We're About
We believe financial literacy shouldn't feel intimidating or out of reach. Whether you're stretching your paycheck to the end of the month, planning your first investment, or just trying to understand why adulting is so expensive — this is your space.
Every episode brings:
- Real conversations with relatable hosts who've been there
- Local context that actually makes sense for Malaysians
- Credible insights from financial experts, planners, and everyday people
- No BS — just practical advice you can actually use
We cover everything from surviving on RM3k a month to negotiating your salary, understanding EPF, dealing with family money pressure, and figuring out if you really need that insurance plan.
The Format
Each episode is 25–40 minutes of conversation that feels less like a lecture and more like catching up with friends who actually did their homework.
We mix:
- Personal stories and real experiences
- Research-backed financial info
- Guest experts who can break things down
- A healthy dose of humor (because money stress is real)
Available wherever you listen to podcasts + full show notes and articles right here on the site.
Who This Is For
If you're in your 20s or 30s, earning your own money, and trying to figure out what the hell to do with it — you're in the right place.
Fresh grad. Freelancer. Young parent. Career switcher. Side hustler. Whatever your situation, if you've ever thought "I should probably understand money better" — welcome to the table.
Our Mission
To make financial literacy accessible, entertaining, and culturally relevant for young Malaysians.
Because money conversations shouldn't be reserved for finance bros or people with six-figure salaries. Everyone deserves a seat at the table.
