Thank you all for the tips/techniques on saving

I just want to say thank you to all of you who have inspired me to save to acheive my goals.

I came here a while back trying to figure out a way to cut back my expenses. I have no debts but wasn't saving enough, and I wanted to pay for an MBA.

My bank did not want to give me a loan because apparently I did not have enough history with them and I'd have to wait till november (2 years since I came to this country). Unfortunately fees were due on Sept 30th!

Over the last few months, I managed to cut back enough to save enough not only for the first year's tuition, but for the whole thing, and then some!

This board is a life changer and you have all helped me so much. Thank you.

    Hi nm1213

    Thats lifechanging! And well done you for taking it all so much to heart; and well done too for not letting practicalities stand in the way of your dreams, but getting up and going for it!

    Great news!

  • A big well done. And also well done to your bank! Now hopefully you will always save instead of borrowing from them. Good Luck with your MBA.
  • well done nm1213 and all the best with your course :)
