p/s: What do I need to save now?

1. For the “rainy seasons”, such as to repair my car, my house, my computer, and “anything” that need to be “repaired”.
2. For education and career development: self and my children.
3. To finance my hobby…such as to buy new camera, lens, bag, etc…and also: training, outing, and related items (computer software and hardware).
4. Travel and leisure…
5. Going pilgrimage to Holy Land (Mecca and Medina).
6. Buy a new car….when needed.
7. Retirement….there will be no monthly pension for me…but there will BND250 Old Age Pension when I reach 60 years old (*correct me if I am wrong).
8. And a lot more reasons for me to save money NOW.

….the hard part is COMMITMENT and DETERMINATION….as well as the ability to make THE RIGHT DECISION in a given situation and time.
