Is there any way to save up money while trying to destress?

There are a few ways to destress without spending money.

​

It depends on what activities that you do that can help you to destress.

​

Activities such as sleeping, running or playing games

Hello! It's good that you want to save money but if your monthly allowance is insufficient, perhaps you can give tuition or take on part-time jobs such as waitressing which was what I did when I was schooling and the restaurant I worked at provided staff meals! You can also attend Seedly or Syfe free events which provide buffets and pizzas XD

Having little money is definitely a source of stress for many, so don't worry! You are not alone.

While you work hard in increasing the health of your cash flow (be it in optimising your expenses, increasing your salary or generally managing your money better), it is important for you to first take stock of what truly makes you happy and which activities provide you with meaningful purpose.

There are a whole hosts of free activities out there that can help fulfill that, it just depends on your interest and passion. Money, after all, is a man-made concept. We are not born to chase after money. You can read books like Strengths Finder from our National Library (hey, borrowing books are free too!) to help you identify your purpose.
Some other free activities you can engage in:

1. Volunteering
2. Watching videos / Listening to Music (e.g. YouTube) on WiFi
3. Chatting with friends and playing board games (repeated playing of the games is free)

The digital world is one that's filled with possibilities for people to take advantage of (at a low cost of free). Go have some free fun!

I believe everyone has given their advice as using exercise as a form of relaxation which I totally agree you should do.

I have a slightly different take: since you need money, and you spend a lot on food, why not work part time for a F&B establishment that you enjoy their food? Win-win, you earn extra income while enjoying their food either for free as meal allowance or enjoy discounts as staff benefit.

Problem solved. Because that’s what I did when I was a student. Love coffee, work for Starbucks. Free coffee and cakes when I work 😏
