…Even When Their Income Isn’t Huge
Ever wonder how some people always seem to have savings, even when they’re not earning crazy money?
No magic. No secret trust fund.
It all comes down to habits.
Here are 5 money moves they make — and how you can too 👇
💡 1. They Pay Themselves First
Before they spend a single cent, they send a portion straight to their savings or investment account.
It’s called:
Paying yourself first.
Even just RM100/month adds up to RM1,200 a year — without even feeling it.
They treat savings like a non-negotiable bill, not a leftover.
💡 2. They Know Where Every Ringgit Goes
They track their spending — not obsessively, but consciously.
They know:
- How much they spend on food
- When their subscriptions are billed
- If they’re overspending on lifestyle
They use apps, spreadsheets, or even just notes on their phone. The method doesn’t matter — awareness does.
💡 3. They Live Below Their Means (But Still Enjoy Life)
They don’t act broke — but they also don’t fake rich.
They:
- Choose value over brand hype
- Delay big purchases until they’re ready
- Enjoy simple things that don’t wreck their wallet
You won’t catch them blowing half their income on monthly commitments just to “look successful.”
💡 4. They Automate Good Decisions
Smart savers set and forget.
They:
- Automate transfers to savings/investment
- Use standing instructions to pay off debts
- Set reminders for bills to avoid late fees
This removes “willpower” from the equation. No discipline needed when systems are in place.
💡 5. They Think Long-Term (Not Just End of Month)
While most people ask:
“Can I afford this right now?”
They ask:
“Will this help or hurt my future self?”
That small mindset shift makes a huge difference.
They save not just for rainy days — but for:
- Freedom
- Options
- Peace of mind
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a 6-figure salary to start saving.
You need the right habits.
Start small. Be consistent.
And in a few months, you’ll be the one people say:
“Eh, macam mana kau boleh simpan duit banyak ah?”
Just smile. Because now you know 😉
