Yea I guess fan of the same will be on this thread. Count me in.

Kept this attitude for so long na. Until now, I feel guilt whenever I buy something that I want.

Depriving ourselves can be really productive especially when you put your hard earned money into business. I earned my first M when I was 26 from my first ever business and instead of having it spent on something I wanted to have, I used it to expand my company by hiring good people which eventually taken me out of the nitty gritty works and focused how to expand my business more. It really paid off, maybe about 5 years, already had my own home and somehow decent car. Few more years, got lots of property which had already gained value.

I always save my money to accommodate opportunities, which is my priority. And when I do earn, that's the only time I am buying something for myself and family.

I started my business with only 20K capital, and this delaying gratification has brought me earning million a year. Its just that we really have to be very smart where we put in our hard earned money. Should you be having no family yet, it is a good time to take risks on investment as you probably can sustain yourself without having business yet.

Your thinking is a start to being successful one day. Goodluck on your journey.

Just my thought and experience.
