At what age did you start saving your money?

[King Belieal]

I actually knew about savings quite late and started late also. Really started saving money around 21 years old.

That's pretty impressive. You learnt the importance of saving at such young age. And with time, it would have easily inculcated as a habit. I am sure that you don't have to put a conscious effort to save. It will come naturally to you. I had a piggy bank too from that age and I would keep adding money to it from whatever resources I got, mainly as cash gifts from elderly on occasions like birthday and festivals. And also, the ones that I saved from my pocket money. I broke the piggy banks at the age if 18, I had filled few of them. I collected enough money and I deposited them in my bank account when I opened one at legal age of 18. It was such a great feeling.

I can sense your excitement the time you broke your piggy bank and transferred the money from it to the bank. Maybe your money now earns interest.

Yes, it does. I used to have a good saving at the end of a year or two. Our culture has this practice of giving money to younger children as a blessing on various festivals and celebrations like birthdays. I used to collect them all in my piggy bank. And at the end, it used to be a decent amount to put in bank and earn interest. I am putting that habit in my daughters too. Though the physical piggy bank is not there. I keep asking them to not touch their money till we support them . Whatever they get as gift or earn through their internship or selling their art and design products, they put it in their savings account.
