i started saving since my 1st temp job, at least 30% of my pay. never owe a car, which its a hardest decision yet mos right for me. coz i can use this $1.5k-$2k to buy shares to get yearly dividends. holidays wise, i travel within burget to neighbourhood countries wen i was single. i seldom travel anyway until i have a family.
