I was reading Budget Babe - How to Save More than $100,000 before 30 (Without working in Finance) and was just trying to recall whether I did manage to save S$100,000 before 31, 30, 29, 28 or 27. Honestly, I really can't recall.
No Plan. Just Save.
Back then, I did not really plan for an amount I needed to save or an amount I needed to save by a certain age. I just knew I needed to save.
When I started my first job, I remember I was paid close to S$2,000. I did not have any commitment and told myself I should be saving really hard. I had close to S$8000 from the savings during my NS days, part-time job,savings since when I was a kid etc.
I clearly remember how happy I was when my savings crossed the S$10,000 mark. I guess my goals just grew bigger ...
