An 80-year-old man living modestly in a rental flat shocked many by revealing SGD $1 million in personal savings. Despite his simple lifestyle, he finds joy in the security of his bank balance rather than spending it on material comforts.

Saving: A Path to Security

For some, saving provides peace of mind and long-term stability.

Psychological Benefits: Financial security can reduce stress and bring a sense of accomplishment.
Strict Saving Plans: Those who follow rigid savings strategies, like budgeting or investing early, often aim for financial freedom rather than immediate gratification.

Spending: A Source of Joy

Others find happiness in spending, whether on experiences, self-care, or helping loved ones.

Enjoying the Present: Spending can enhance quality of life, creating memories and improving well-being.
Balanced Philosophy: Some combine saving and spending by budgeting for essentials while indulging in occasional luxuries.

Your Take?

Are you a strict saver, aiming for financial milestones like the SGD $1 million?
Or do you lean towards enjoying your hard-earned money in the present?

Let’s hear your thoughts: which philosophy brings you more happiness? 💰😊

At present, I am young and still want to enjoy the present moment. When my savings can achieve stable compound interest, I will strictly implement savings
