Wan t to make money out of leveraging money? Salary loans can be used as your first step in leveraging money in your investments. Did you applied for a salary loan and just bought new gadgets? I know it is very risky if I will invest the money I borrowed. I applied for a salary loan and invest it in mutual funds. Woah. Did I made mistakes? I think so. I am a savvy saver. I consider myself as a savvy saver because I don’t want to lose even a single cents from my hard-earned money.

I applied for a salary loan. And this is what happened…

September 2013 I applied for a salary loan, the loan interest is 7% per year I will pay it for 3 years. You know what, 7%? Is that high enough? I think it’s reasonable.

I invests the money in mutual funds, I prefer to invest it in mutual fund equity type. Wow! After a year, the money I invested gained 15%, that means I make 8% of other people’s money.
