I don’t think saving money is hard when someone’s income is high enough for satisfying the basic needs and daily goods. However, to control the desires is really difficult sometimes. We always get new desires after we earn more. If we just spend all the money on what we what, we can’t save any single penny. That’s why we need a financial plan. If we got an aim, we know the direction where we’re going to achieve.

However, to control the desires to buy unnecessary items is really difficult sometimes. We always get new desires after we earn more. If we just spend all the money on what we want, we can’t save a single penny. That’s why we need a financial plan. If we set a goal, we know the direction where we’re going to/we would know how to achieve them.

But saving money only is not going to make you rich, we have to assign our money on different investments. low risk investment is necessary to keep your money flow stable, like saving money or savings insurance. I also do automatic investments plan for my medium risk invest. Compare to stocks, I prefer fund more. Because I don’t have much time to stare at charts all day, I invest fund for high risk part.
In this era, money flow is important than fixed assets. Especially, most of the time the fixed assets is a big debt, because it doesn’t earn money, it spends. We have to learn how to create passive income, not just saving money.
