Finding it difficult. Hoping some peer can shed some light on how they manage their finance. |
If possible get bto (
hdb loan instead of bank loan)
Evaluate the need of car, sg so small dun really need car unless ur parents are handicapped.
Same go for allowance, instead of following the norm, if your parents doesn't need can just keep.
Invest early, start early. Hope you already settle your insurances already.
Basically , live within your means , doesn't mean you earn higher must spend more
