A question that might have popped in your mind, more often than you\u2019d like to admit. But why is that?

Surprisingly, we received an overwhelming response. And it reaffirms our belief that every financial journey is unique and different. Simply put, there\u2019s no right or wrong way to go about it.

This would allow me to provide for my current and future family the best possible way I can, without neglecting my own leisure, experience and entertainment that I lacked so much growing up.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to not have to rely on anyone for money or lodging is very important to me. I get to decide my future and my path in whatever I do. And I do not have to be at anyone\u2019s mercy.<\/p>\n<p>I feel it&#8217;s always a blessing to be able to give. This allows me to share my experiences with those whom I appreciate and who appreciate me as well. And that gives me true happiness!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you describe your relationship with money?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would say not too bad! Fortunately or unfortunately, I don\u2019t spend much on luxuries due to coming from a not-so-well-to-do family. I saw how money doesn\u2019t come easy and a lack of it creates so many problems for my siblings and I growing up, as well as for my parent. Not to mention the number of arguments and family feuds pertaining to money. So we just taught ourselves that anything we wanted, we gotta save or earn the money ourselves in order to purchase them.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, I can safely say that I have the discipline and knowledge to save, invest and plan financial risk management for myself and my clients. And for me to be able to be caring and generous with how I spend my money, really allows me to be who I want to be for the people I care about.\u00a0 At the end of the day, money is a tool for me to bring joy and happiness to those around me and to myself too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your weakness when it comes to spending?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, I don\u2019t usually make big purchases, but it\u2019s the small ones that are repetitive and frequent that usually pile up without me even realising. This includes paying for food and drinks for those around me a little too often. Although I\u2019m doing it willingly and happily. Still, I gotta really watch out for the little things!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_241995\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-241995\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-241995 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/savings-money-Singapore-investing-900x643.png\" alt=\"Savings | investments\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/savings-money-Singapore-investing-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/savings-money-Singapore-investing-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/savings-money-Singapore-investing.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-241995\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some people grow their savings through investments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Gloria, 31, media sales<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Annual income<\/strong>: Around $80k<\/p>\n<p><strong>Savings<\/strong>: $150k (including investments and stocks)<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your financial goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Be financially dependent by 45 years old and retire so that I can enjoy the rest of my life with my spouse doing things we&#8217;re passionate about.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you describe your relationship with money?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Right now in my 30s, I consider money to be an important part of life. Financial stability helps me to worry less about day-to-day expenses and also be able to have sufficient funds in case of any emergencies. While money cannot buy happiness, it can bring comfort and peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your weakness when it comes to spending?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Buying all of my bags, clothes and shoes.

I have a reasonable understanding of its value and its downside. In the position where I am right now, I have the opportunity to also see its negative effects and I understand that&#8217;s a privilege.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your weakness when it comes to spending?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I spent a lot of money on convenience whilst I always thought I wasn&#8217;t a lazy person.

Up until this year, most part ( 60%) of my salary went into education loans as I was trying to complete my loans soon. And now that I&#8217;m completing it, I&#8217;m learning to manage my money by setting some aside for various needs. I&#8217;m also learning to budget and have a healthy mindset about not exhausting all my money and spending it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your weakness when it comes to spending?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have a weakness of overspending. It took me some time to make sure that when I set money aside in my savings account, I do not reach out for it when I feel like spending it.

It forced me to be more serious with my personal savings too, so I also opened a separate savings account for myself.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for me, money was never an issue as I learnt to adapt my lifestyle according to what I had. I worked part-time while studying (since 18 years old) to help with my personal expenses. I was lucky that my parents funded my education including supplies and miscellaneous costs. And if I was low on cash, I\u2019d sacrifice on the good stuff. But having said that, I\u2019d splurge if I had surplus cash. My only regret is not saving earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Though I currently have the basics down, I\u2019m still quite apathetic about my finances. I know there\u2019s a lot more I can be doing like picking the best banks or credit cards for rebates, investing and learning about cryptocurrency, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your weakness when it comes to spending?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ah, where do I begin? Aside from splurging on transportation like private hire car services and food, I seldom spend on materialistic things for myself.
