Hello People and Happy Friday......
So Saving money is actually a big thing to many, yes but for me it is something that comes naturally even when I don't even earn much, yeah... I think part of it is because I have passed through a phase in my life where I had nothing to fall back on, so saving now feels like a form of security for me, It is not even about having so much, it is just about knowing that if something small comes up, I won’t be completely stranded.
Okay, see here's the thing, since I currently only earn on hive, I make sure to save some of my payout each week, though I wasn't able to save anything from November till end of December because of the whole festive period ish, but I am currently back to saving as little as I can because I don't have anyone I want to run to, to help me with money issues, I have learned that relying on people financially can sometimes come with disappointment, so I prefer to do my little little and manage what I have.
And you see sometimes the amount I save is very small, it's is nothing big, but then i have come to understand that consistency really matters more than even the amount, even if it is just something tiny, I will still put it aside because it gives me peace of mind, See saving has taught me patience and also self control, especially when I really want to spend on things that are not urgent.
My plans for this year is simple, get a job, go to school, get an apartment, get a skill, both tech and an offline skill, this is what I know I want to do, and surely I plan to achieve them, these plans might sound basic to some people, but to me they mean stability and growth, they represent a fresh start and a chance to build something solid for myself and my kids.
With saying that, it doesn't come easy because all this requires some discipline, and also money, so it's gonna take a lot to be able to get this thing done, there will be days I will feel tired, days I will want to give up, and days where saving will feel like a punishment, but I know the end goal is worth it.
Saving this year is not just about money for me, it’s about changing my mindset, It is about learning how to plan ahead, how to delay gratification, and how to focus on long term benefits instead of short-term comfort, I believe if I can stay consistent, it will positively change my life.
I believe I can push myself to certain level and I'm praying and hoping God does come through for me one way or the other, at the end of the day, I know I’m doing my part, and I trust that things will align gradually, Saving may not make me rich overnight, but it gives me hope, and for now, that hope is enough.
