Being a single person, I never had a need for a budget.
Okay, my early years I squandered most of my money and had no savings. Only when I got control of my life did I start to think about the future and retirement.
Even then, I never saved any money. I have started saving only in the last 4 years?
I spend very little of my income on frivolities. I am saving about 65% of my take home pay. No debt, no credit cards. Very close to having $150,000 as a nest egg and that will continue to build as I still have 6 years of work in my until retirement age.
No investments, minimal Superannuation, most of my money is in the bank. Thinking about depositing some into a term deposit though they are only paying 4.1%.
So as long as I am diligent, I may end up with $300,000. Might last considering I do not think I will get anywhere near 75 years of age.
