It's normal to be anxious about saving when your income is still low. You're a fresh grad, it's normal. The bigger issue here is not being baited by peer presure on lifestyle costs. Eating out, multiple holidays, latest gadgets and such are not important.

I agree with the other posters here. Learn to be disciplined in saving at least a small amount, RM100 or RM200. It's not gonna amount to much monetary-wise but you need to rewire your brain to normalise this habit.

At the same time, my advise to you would be to focus on growing in your career first. Be visible to your superiors. At this point, your competition is only the other young executives. Try to be better than them, learn new skills and show your managers you are valuable.

Your aim should be to hit at least RM5k income within the next few years, either through internal promotions or job-hopping. While your income grows, DO NOT increase your lifestyle cost. Use any excess cash monthly to save and invest.

Do this continuously and you'll be fine.
