HOW MUCH IS YOUR SALARY VS HOW MUCH DO YOU SAVED?











I've read a very interesting books by Tom Peters and at the end of my reading journey I've started to realized the importance of savings and the significant of the big question HOW MUCH DO YOU SAVED MONTHLY ?

You can earn big amount of money (definitely I'm not one of them...hehehe) but at the end of the month not many people (according to Tom Peters and even RT Kiyosaki) check on how much they manage to save. I remember talking to a friend of mine who is getting a handsome amount of salary but not being able to save, where one of his problem is lack of motivation to save but lots of motivation to spend. And I do agree with his statement.

So my plan for this month and hopefully the next month onwards is to start saving hopefully with 3 digits and I'll try my best if possible before end of this year to increase it to a healthy 4 digits saving. My motivation ????? It's back to the magic word ...HOW MUCH DO YOU SAVED MONTHLY ...

You and the other young people who have commented on your post are being very prudent to take serious steps at this point in your lives towards sustaining a good standard of living in retirement. Most start too late.

"Paying oneself first" is a very good well-established strategy. Having savings deducted directly from one's salary is another, and very painless...you don't miss the money put away before you handle it.

Keep up the good efforts.
