Start Saving Up!

  The prices of commodities are zooming up as fast as the bullet trains. We should take considerations on saving money, petrol, electricity and water and take advantage the free health and community services offered by the government.

  On buying thing like clothes or gadgets, we must first ask ourselves if we really need it. Are you familiar in impulse buying? Sometimes, we only buy things just to spend or we think it look good to us. Not clearly thinking if it is essentially important. A typical example, as we walked across the mall, we saw a well-made shirt or dress displayed in a clothing shop. The following day, you saw it again and you're itching to purchase it only to find out that it's expensive, an equivalent to your 3 day rate. You have to ask yourself over and over if we really need it. Do I really need it? What other important things that I could buy with my money right now? Unless if it a birthday present for yourself then buy it. Just kidding...

Tell yourself, yes I want it but I don't really need it right now.

  One of the best ways to save up is to a lot 10% from your salary and have it deposited in separate savings account. It would be best not use this money for spending on things rather for emergency purposes only. At least, when the tough times comes, you'll not over-stressed to borrow money from your friends or relatives. You can get from your own savings.

  It sounds simple, but having a piggy bank (where you can put a few coins everyday) is another good way to save up. You'll never notice that the coins you invested could turn to a hundred bucks in a week. I have been doing it since I was a kid. I can say it really works.

  These are some of simple ways to save money. It's up to you if you want to try it. I believe everyone wants to be financially stable. Aren't we?

  Do you have other ideas that you could share to me and to other members? If yes, that would be awesome....

  • Hi jajat,

     It's OK if you purchase something very important to you. Cellphones nowadays are important for business, studies and to connect with our friend and family. I think it is a good investment especially if you use it carefully and know how to use its applications. Thank you for your response. Keep on learning as you use your blackberry phone....

  • Hello Addel,

      I'm pleased to read your response and I'm glad you listened to your parents. They only want us to be financially responsible in every cent we spend. They worked very hard so that we grow up and reach our potentials. Thank you so much for being thoughtful and for responding on this blog. Should I say I'm proud that through this blog someone have listened to this...Take care!
