So… When should you seriously start saving? 

Probably earlier than you planned, but not later. 

To be honest, there’s no official deadline for saving money. No perfect moment. No single answer everyone agrees with. What matters more is the moment you finally say, “Okay, I want my money to last longer than my payday and support my financial goals.” 

You will always find a lot of advice online telling you when you should start saving, but there’s actually no universal rule. What is clear is that saving earlier gives you more time to grow your money and helps you build strong financial habits. Starting late may still work but will mean either taking more time to wait or saving a bigger chunk of your income. Think of it like planting a tree. Plant now to enjoy the shade later. Plant later and you’ll still get shade, but on a later date.  

Either way, saving earliest is the better answer to when you should seriously start saving money. And if you still haven’t, now is the best time to make the move. 

Okay… I Started Saving. Now What? 

Here’s where things get interesting.  

Once you’ve built your savings, you’ll come to realize something important. Saving is just the beginning of something bigger. Yes, saving gives you comfort and security, but what comes next will help your money move forward and strengthen your personal finance journey. 

Your money may stay safe in a regular savings account, but it does not grow much, in fact it depreciates if the savings interest rate is lower than the inflation rate. Over time, people will eventually find ways to maximize their savings, to grow more, and work for them instead. And this is when investing basics and money management come in.  

Investing gives you the opportunity to grow your money, making it work for you over time. One of the most effective options to start your investing journey is through capitalizing on Mutual Funds… You might be wondering why.

Your money is professionally managed and spread across different investments, which support diversification and supervised growth. It’s a practical option for people who want to conveniently and professionally grow their savings over time.
