The habit that changed my life is the habit of #saving money. For a long time I lived without any plan for my income. I spent #money as it came, and I did not set any clear priority. At first I felt that life was going smoothly, but the truth was that I was building a #lifestyle that had no foundation. The turning point came when I found myself calling people often to ask for #financial help. It became embarrassing, and each request made me feel smaller inside. That shame made me stop and think deeply about my life.
Everything changed the day I listened to a preacher who spoke about wisdom and the danger of wasting resources. Those words entered my heart, and I knew that I needed to introduce #discipline into my #life. I decided to join a daily contribution group so I would not have access to my money until the right time. It forced me to save, even when it was not convenient. In the beginning I struggled. I had to avoid unnecessary spending. I had to say no to things I once said yes to without thinking. But with time I adjusted.
During the period I was in debt, I felt reduced. I was not bold to speak because I felt like my life was out of control. But when I saw my savings growing for the first time, I felt a deep peace from within. It was as if a heavy load had been lifted off my shoulder. Month after month, I saw progress. I paid off my debt and still had money left. This experience created a mindset shift. It taught me better planning and helped me understand the importance of preparing for responsibilities.
Saving money also changed how I see life. I now understand that growth comes with new responsibilities, and anyone who wants peace must plan ahead. Today I still save consistently. I have clear goals for my business, my rent, and my emergency fund. I no longer live blindly.
My simple advice is this, a wise man saves in the day of plenty. Do not show off instead of investing. Have a budget, no matter how small your income is. Saving may look slow at the beginning, but one day the results will speak for you.
