  3 basic tips to grow your retirement nest (my thoughts)
  
  1) Spend less
  2) Find ways to earn more
  3) Save and invest savings prudently.

  Also, as your income increases, dun try to increase your standard of living by too much. Example:

  Earn 4k/mth --> drive an altis

  Earn 6k/mth--> do you need to drive a more expensive car like a BMW?? or will it be better if you save the extra 2k??

  oh ya... and spend some time watching, calculating and looking after your finances everyday if possible

  increase your sources of income as well. Currently, I have 2 major sources (active) along with extremely minor amount from my website (passive). Exclude any possible capital gains/losses or dividends from equities.

  I also tried to hide my "durex" in my cupboard hoping my family members won't find it. Else "paisey" ah.

   

  But my hiding skills so good until i totally can't find it.

  lol...
