There is not an ideal number of how much you should save as your savings Money depends on several factors and one’s financial situation. However, there is still a need for each and everyone of us to save a certain amount of money to be ready for the future.
Why do you need to save money?
When it comes to saving, there would be more than one reason for you to consider saving from now. Some common reasons include:
1/ Potential risks in life: These are things that cannot be expected or foreseen, such as: sickness, accidents, etc. When these potential risks occur without financial support, you will easily face several difficulties.
2/ Potential plans in the future: You might be having future business plans such as opening a start-up business, buying a house for investment purposes, etc. As business plans would always need a certain amount of capital in the beginning, having a savings amount will help you to execute these future plans more easily.
3/ Be financially independent: Having your own savings means you are more likely to be financially independent instead of having to depend on your family, spouse, etc.
Each of us will have different reasons to save money instead of spending all of our monthly income. Saving money will help you to maintain your daily life and build a strong financial foundation for the future.
How much should you save before you are 30?
Your savings amount will entirely depend on your financial capability and your monthly income. However, to make sure you effectively save a certain amount of money every month, you can apply the following formula for your monthly income. In particular, you should break your income down into 6 main accounts, based on the JARS System of money management, including:
– Necessities account – 55%
– Savings account – 10%
– Education account – 5%
– Financial freedom account – 10%
– Entertainment account – 10%
– Charity account – 10%
As you can see, from this formula, you should save 10% of your income per month. When you have a certain standard, you can easily calculate how much you should be able to save before you are 30. For instance, you are currently 26 years of age and your monthly income is 20.000.000 VND/month. If you apply the above formula, you should be able to save 96 millions VND when you are 30 years of age. If you can save this much money, you can easily earn interest if you open a savings account or invest in your start-up business.
