How Saving Money In My 20s Changed My Life

When we think about saving money, we think about doing it for financial stability in the future or retirement.
But in my experience, it actually helped me in the present as well. Having a decent amount of savings at an early age allowed me to pursue opportunities that I wouldn't have been able to without money.
I talk through some of the benefits I've experienced from having savings early on in my life.

Great reminder on the importance of savings and great video once again! Just wondering if this trading job is open to the public for application? Or is it a closed group?

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

It’s not open to the public unfortunately 😅 only for those who go through the bursa programme

[@najmi3227]

Working 9-5 on weekday and part time on weekends is like a normal things nowdays. I'm 20 old and I work everyday even on night I try to work.

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

Think so too especially if you wanna break out of the 9-5. Don’t forget to take your breaks though, gotta sustain for the long term

[@annitasoosai3661]

Watching this in my 50s......

[@aisyahismail27]

I always wonder - do people generally include their EPF balance when they talk about savings. I’m guessing it’s a no..

[@MillennialFinanceMalaysia]

I dont when speaking in this capacity. But if talking about retirement savings then yeah o include it
