Is this a reasonable budget?

Hi, we are new to adulting and trying to better manage our finances. We found some sample budgets online, but some of them seem quite unrealistic to me.

For example here a household income of 11800, net take home pay would only be around 10000. That means they are spending more than 50% of their income just on servicing their loans! (3000+2500).

Isn’t this too high a ratio and spending beyond their means?

I now join the 2.6% of Black men who are physicians.

Apparently, 2.6% of physicians are Black men. That is clearly what this man was trying to convey when he said “I now join the 2.6% of Black men who are physicians.”

I have seen some discussions about this and there is disagreement about whether his statement is correct in the sense that it conveys the intended statistic of “2.6% of physicians are Black men”, or whether it actually conveys the statistic “2.6% of Black men are physicians”.

What is the correct reading of this sentence? Can it be legitimately interpreted as saying “2.6% of physicians are Black men” without breaking correct English usage?

Life is beautiful

Was at the park today just chilling on a bench and it hit me just how beautiful life is. Despite how stressed out many people are these days, there’s still so many things to be grateful for if you just stop to smell the roses. A child’s laughter on a sunny day, an ice cold beer after a grueling day of work, just being able to go online and find virtually any kind of media you want to read, listen to, or watch. As a child the future was always far away and impossible, but here we are, living in the most amazing times for humanity.

Kenapa ramai yang tak puas hati hidup di Malaysia?

Kadar pengangguran rendah, makanan pelbagai dan enak, harga minyak pulak murah. Kebebasan bersuara dan demokrasi, budaya tempatan dan antarabangsa bercampur aduk dan kehidupan dalam suasana. yang aman. Boleh kata syurga sebelum syurga ataupun “heaven on earth”. Tapi rasanya ramai online yang suka memburuk-burukkan negara yang diberkati ini. Kenapa?

How do I learn more about Tamil culture and language?

I realized I know a lot about Malay and Chinese culture, but very little about the Tamils among us. I find them very intriguing, how do I learn more? Ade there organisations or places that actively promote Tamilian language and culture in Malaysia?

What is the youngest age at which a child can remember a parent that passed away? How intense would those memories be?

I know babies and young toddlers basically lose their childhood memories eventually, so I was wondering when they would start having the ability to remember a parent if that parent were to suddenly be gone.
