    Wow you did amazing saving that much in a year I'm so happy for you! I didn't start my savings journey until August of this year and saved $8,882. I'm amazed at how much I saved in so little time. I'm so proud of us! Let's see how much we can save next year. Cheers to save more in 2024 🎉😁

      Get paid so much and spend so little, is the obvious answer. 😂😂
      Say if you can save $1200 a year with your normal job, but you work 40 hours a week, now get a part time job that's an extra 20 hours, save 100% of the income from that job it can boost your savings per year 10-20x.
      Alternatively you could do some kind of course in that same 20 hours a week to get you a better job or a higher position and that could also do the same.
      I think the hardest thing people have is keeping your lifestyle the same while you income increases.
