My Saving Journey

Saving money is very necessary to achieve financial goals. I know many of you, this is one of your New Year's Resolution. In my case, I have a lot of trial and error to do that. Since I was young when I started to learn to save money.

When I was young (probably when I was Grade 4 when I started to learn to save money. From single coin, I was doing that consistently. When I was teenager when I started to save more money. I was saving my money from my daily allowance when I was high school, since I could refuse to buy anything because during that time, the class schedule was half day, which would mean, my class schedule was in the morning and I could able to save it because I was going home to take my lunch. At least I had no temptation.

Before I turn into adult, I was ridiculously saving money for entertainment and ornaments. I was buying CD, figurines, books, etc. I would prefer spend my money through these things than spend my money on food. I don't know but at least I tried it.

When I turn 19, everything had changed. I learned more to save money. At this point, I learned to invest my money and even trading too. I learned it through watching financial literacy on YouTube, following on any social media platforms that posts about finance, business, and succes. But before that, I opened my bank account and I created my first e-wallet before I turn 19. I did all of those things in 2019.

Although I have no regrets about anything I've done, It will stand as my lessons. I'm not saying that I'm perfectly implement all of the things I learned but saving is one of the best things to do to achieve financial goals.
