    • In my country you have to pay an annual fee if your bank account exceeds a certain limit (5000€), so I opened another bank account to split the amount and not pay any fee
    • In my country if you pay your medical expenses with a debit/credit card, you get 19% of what you spent back the next year, so I always use that
    • I track all of my expenses. It helped me see where my money went. I’d rather download .mp3s on my phone than paying 12€/month for Spotify because all of these little expenses are like half a salary per year, no thanks
    • The money it don’t immediately need is put in money markets. At least it’s revalued for inflation

    I’m kind of obsessed with money because I got traumatized from a time where having 30€ more could mean eating for another week

      Uff you know what get’s you tons of experience, if you have to eat plain rice and water at the end of November/December. It takes only one real broke experience to know how to spend next year better. And gradually saving recources with everything you do becomes an obsession. 😁
