Contentment is a key for a good life. Yeah we earning more we intended to spend more. I heard from a good bookkeeper you earned more and you spend less. if you maintained this lifestyle within 5-10years you will have a good amount of money in your bank acct.
I remember my parents demo us how to saved money. They gave us coins to distribute to our expected expenses and how much we should saved. Saving is a good for us to have for emergency purposes. When pandemic was pretty bad. I heard a lot of patients got send back home because the hospital was asking for down payment. When you have extra money like bonuses we should save it rather than thinking what to spend it for. Investing and making multiple is a good thing. Save or investing it will be good as long as you can get it back the money you invest at the right time you really need it badly. Not to waste and be careful how you spent it. Hehe.
