How I Saved $12000 in 6 months? (2024)

I am free to do whatever I want for two years. Wait, what? Two years in $12000 — I will tell you how!

Saving money requires two things —

1. A certain way of thinking/ Saving mindset
2. Certain kinds of actions.

I will go step by step, so hold on! I will talk about specific actions and tips for saving money but before that let's get into the saving mindset.

Saving is saving, it's not about how much or how little you are saving but it's about using your money wisely. All the time, everywhere. Saving mindset requires truly knowing what do you really want and need in life to live a happy life. These are the things that bring you true satisfaction.

For example, to me, I want to live in a clean environment, eat healthy food, drink clean water, a few clothes, some toiletries, utensils, and a comfortable bed.

These are the first priorities materially then I want equipment for following my passion. For my emotional well being, I also would love to have a set of friends, few animals around, a passion to live with, time to do what I want to do in life, a good relationship with my family, and also I want to be a valuable member to the society. Also, I like to travel.
