Maybe I should spend less, and focus more on saving

Within this month, 3 of my co - workers change a new vehicle, and two of them purchased a Lexus respectively. I just a bit jealous, and also envy them. I look at myself again, why couldn't I do something like that. Why can't I have my own new car too? I also look into my bank account, and the debt I have with credit cards and personal loan, I felt so shame. The instant moment, I was thinking of when I look at my co - workers' Lexus, I should focus on saving more money in my account rather plan on having fun somewhere and keep on spending money. Shame on me as I realize it.

It is always a good thing to get into the habit of saving, especially when your finances are good. I love nice and expensive things, but I only buy them when I can really afford them. I have never been a compulsive buyer.

True. We must learn to spend our money wisely and save some if we can.

Proper resource management is the key to get what you desire and wish for to have in life.Prioritizing your needs comes second. Setting aside a fix amount for savings is very helpful and admirable because you have self-control and self-discipline. It is very important in making priorities in order to achieve your goal. Try it and you will be amazed at how it can improve your lifestyle.:-) Sometimes adding strategy to it is also very helpful.

Yes. I think that would be a great idea. You are young and it is never too early to start saving some money if at all possible.

Consider that a lesson learned. You should always be putting money away in the bank. Don't go getting jealous like that, pay off your debt, save money and then you to can own a Lexus. Maybe you will be able to buy a Mercedes instead. But remember to always put money away.
