My main takeaway is that we should always set aside the money we want to save first so that we have a clearer plan to save up. If we only save what is left at the end of the month/plan, our savings would probably be much lower. If we have events or things we are saving for, planning the amount we save each month helps have a clearer plan for us to get closer to this goal.

For me, I found budgeting a very valuable lesson as it taught me how to strategically allocate my money for all aspects of my lifestyle (transport, food, entertainment, etc.). Apart from that, I found the lesson about how credit cards and debit cards work very helpful as being  a greenhorn credit card user, I am unsure as to how to use a credit card wisely and responsibly. The lesson gave me helpful tips. Finally the lesson on compound interest further helped me to understand the concept better from where I learnt it in Secondary school, as well as how it is applied in daily life.
