3. Think Yourself at 80
For now you may still be in the millennial age, around 20s to 30. But try to imagine when you are 80. Do you still want to work or just want to enjoy your pension time with your childrens and grandchildrens? If you want the second option, you certainly have to start thinking about retirement savings since you are still young.

Imagine also at the age of 80, you already have what you want, like home and vehicle, send your children to college, the whole family is protected by insurance, there is an effort to support your pension time without having to burden your childrens. It's beautiful, isn't it? To achieve all that, you need to prepare a pension fund from now.

4. Using Credit Card Wisely
Even though you are managing finances, you can still use your credit card, but you must use it wisely. The longer the credit card age and the accuracy of paying installments will be recorded on your credit score. Closing your credit card will damage your credit score. If you have your credit card for a long time and has a reasonable limit, you do not need to close it, because the card can be used for emergency situations.

5. Negotiate Interest when Applying for a Loan
Do you know if the loan interest can be negotiated? You simply go to the bank to discuss the interest and tenor of the loan. The purpose is not to disrupt your finance. So, your income is not only spent to pay instalments.
