Secret of Successful Savers

I found a common article with interesting input just now while browsing thru the net and decided to share it here..

Saving money is something millions of us want to do, but do we make any effort to that? To quote a line in the article.. 'Most finance experts recommend having the equivalent of between three and six months’ worth of your salary stashed in an easy access account in case of emergencies..' This article makes me think and think.. Do I have that much of money as my saving to face any emergencies?

Many of us have their own habits/strategic plan when it comes to save their own money.. A simple practice that might give a huge impact in future..  Here are some of the habits of successful savers..

They save regularly. You may not be able to save a huge amount every month but a small amount saved often will soon add up.

*As saying goes, sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit kan..

They save at the start of the month, not the end. Really successful savers set some money aside as soon as they’re paid. That way they can factor their savings into their monthly budget and save a consistent amount each month. Don't wait until the end of month and save any leftover cash.

*If I don’t reserve it first, I don’t think that I will have it at last.. Hihi..

They keep control of their spending. If you think you can’t afford to save anything, it’s worth taking another look at your budget to see if you can reduce spending elsewhere. Really successful savers see their monthly savings deposit as a priority over more discretionary spending. You need to look back and wondering how much money that would free up for your saving account.

*I do control my spending actually but in some circumstance I can’t resist to spend for an item which is tak perlu pun.. Hihi..

They actively manage their money. Successful savers are proactive about switching their money to better accounts so they can earn the highest amount of interest possible. Many accounts are boosted by a 12-month bonus, so it’s important to keep track of when that ends and be ready to switch to a higher-paying bank.

*Ok, I admit that I have lack of knowledge about this and only use one or two account for years..

They have a rainy day fund. You might be saving for a number of reasons; for a holiday, to overpay the mortgage, to decorate the house. But whatever your goal, it’s important to have an emergency pot of money that you won’t dip into unless you really need it. Really successful savers don’t factor this emergency fund into their savings goals, because they know that they can’t blow that money on a dream break or garage conversion.

*Keyword here is save for emergency!

They clear their debts first. It makes no sense to be paying high interest on a loan or credit card, while earning low interest on savings in the bank. Although it makes sense to save up an emergency fund, most people are better off clearing their debts before adding to their savings.  Successful savers don’t waste money on high interest loans if they have the cash to clear them.

*We are working on it right now.. And the mission is no credit card for life..

They keep track of their loose change. How much money do you lose down sofas? How much do you dump in a penny jar and never cash in? Money works harder in a savings account than it does sitting in an ashtray in your kitchen. It really is worth emptying your penny jar occasionally.

*I just realize that I’ve been keeping loose change for a long time in a bowl.. I have seen a coin machine in Tesco Shah Alam last time when buying our groceries.. Have idea to change the coin for Tesco voucher and use it for our next month groceries expenses.. 

They set savings goals. If you’re saving for a specific goal, then it’s a good idea to work backwards. Instead of deciding how much you can afford to save each month, consider how much you need in total and how quickly you need it. Then you can work out how much you need to save each month to reach that goal, and tailor your other spending accordingly. Really successful savers understand that setting goals can be really motivating.

*So many goals need to set up.. Hihi.. But I will ensure that I can accomplish it one by one..

They start young. There’s plenty of evidence that saving as a child helps you manage your money better as an adult. You can get your own children in the habit of putting some of their cash aside, even if it’s just their duit raya. If you can teach them the benefits of regular saving, you’re helping them to become successful savers in their own right

Sila hormat saya..

Salam semua.. setelah lame xberblog..


Pernah tak anda menyuruh org lain menghormati diri anda?? hish.. perlu ke sampai mcm tuh skali?? *geleng kepala*


pada dasarnye, seorg pekerja akan menghormati majikan/bosnya.. seorg anak akan menghormati kedua ibu bapanya.. seorg isteri akan menghormati suaminya.. etc.. hormat.. ye hormat la kan..


Tapi perlu ke sampai nak arah org lain menghormati diri kita.. terhormat sgt ke diri tuh?? huhu.. Hanya kerana da naik pangkat.. Kene tukar panggilan kepada Encik/Puan.. Dulu siap bergurau senda lagi.. berkau beraku, tak pe je.. tp sekarang?? "Next time you need to address me as Encik, ok".. "Saya bos awak jadi awak kene hormat saya".. etc.. Oh.. sampai begitu sekali.. perlu ke??


Kadang-kadang ai terfikir, ade jugak org mcm ni kat dunia kan.. kene mintak org lain hormat diri die.. siap mintak hokey.. kalo ko tak hormat org lain jgn harap la org akan hormat ko.. tol tak.. pada ia la,  rasa hormat akan datang dgn sendirinya.. bile kita hormat org lain, nescaya org akan hormat diri kita.. tak perlu diarah-arah.. ikhlas tau..


tp ble org da mintak, kite pun hormat la.. ye la.. ko kan boss.. aku ni kuli.. kene la hormat.. tp mcm xikhlas la pulak.. ade die kesah kite ikhlas ke tak.. yg penting die boss.. huhu..  *geleng kali ke2*


PssT: Hormat diri anda dahulu sblm meminta penghormatan dr org lain.. hormatilah org yang lebih tua drpd kita.. sekadar renungan di hari jumaat..

untuk info terperinci, leh bace pasal stress managemant kat sini.. sgt2 membantu.. memetik artikel kat situ..

antara strategi pengurusan stress adalah:

1. Elakkan stress yang tak berkaitan - elakkan berjumpa ngan orang yang membuatkan/menambahkan kite stress..

2. Ubah situasi stress - pengurusan masa gak bleh menyebabkan kite stress.. so, start manage masa anda ye..

3. Adapt ngan stressor - kalo xboleh ubah stressor, kite kene ubah diri kite.. pikir yang positive je k..

4. Terima ape yang kite xboleh ubah - maksudnye terima ngan redho n pasrah ye..

5. Amek mase utk hepi, gumbire n relax - contoh paling bagus p shoppink.. hehe.. ble da shoppink, abes duit, stress balik.. hahaha.. xboleh pakai contoh ni ye kawan2..

6. Amalkan cara hidup yang sehat - sentiasa bersenam, makan makanan yg sehat.. xpun diet sehat, kurangkan gula n merokok, dont drink n drive dan yg penting skali cukup tdo hokey.. ai mmg slalu xcukup tdo.. haha..
