A few years after I started working, I realised that I do not exactly saved much money. That is when I decided to sit down and start planning and budgeting my expenses. I started off with getting an app to track my expenses for a few months and identifying all the unnecessary expenses. I stopped spending on the unnecessary items like drinking Starbucks and buying newspaper. As time pass, I also learnt how to cut down on dining out.
When I started having more savings, I decided that I want to invest and grow them. Started reading up on investing and identify what would be my investment strategy and move on from there.
