I actutaly started save money in elementary school. Some jobs like chopping wood or help in yard got me some money which I saved for school materials. My parents were very poor and they need all help. Later I helped my brother with some expenses on colleague.

Yes it is easier to save when you have a goal to achieve it is always very easy then. Good for you.
I start saving money when i realize that my families can't give me money every time, so i start saving the money that i get it different ways, i start saving before i start my own job.
I know about money when I was 21 even if my parents was boyance enough to take good care of us I have to go out hassle for my money and am always excited spending my money and save some percent of it
I started saving when I was in school from what my father gave me as pocket money.
I too buy that I need and seldom go for impulsive buying.
When I say that I am not an impulsive buyer, people feel that I would have got it with age and experience and with added responsibilities. But even as young girl, I would spend my money judiciously. I don't like to be a misery person, but I spend my money in all the right things that I need. Perhaps, I got this as a part of my upbringing.
My father was a spent thrift at times but I was always cautious. My mother was very cautious in her spending. That's the reason we sailed through financial crisis that we saw at times.
I started saving money at the age of 12 years old. By that time l had already started the journey of searching for money in a very small scale if l can say that.
What is being preached might not be learnt, but what is being lived is definitely the biggest learning. You saw your parents on two different poles and you very well realised that the balance that your mom brought was the reason that made you sail through. You must have picked up the life lesson of value of money and cautious spending from your mother.
That's true and that's the reason I am always prepared for the worst.

I started saving at a very young age. Whenever i needed to buy anything, like when i wanted to buy my own phone. I saved for months, sacrificing my school pocket money, even when they would send me to buy something, i would walk down and keep the transport.
At the age of 14, I became interested in books about financial literacy, because I understood that I did not want to be like my parents, who could not even save a little money for something necessary because they earned little. However, I started saving money at the age of 17 when I first got a job
I started saving when I was studying at high school. I was working part-time as a tutor for a primary student. I saved a portion of the tuition fee I received.
I can remember saving my pocket money when l was in the high school back then.
It is good practice to start it on young age because when you are becoming a little more aged it would be hard to save money because not having this practice from before.
For me l can say that l started saying money at the age of 12 years down the line. While my son has started it with nine years.
I started saving money when I was about 16 years old. That was in my final year in high school school when I started getting lots of pocket money from family members.
