Earning lots of money doesn't necessarily make you 'rich'. Knowing how to save is.

Though of course having a high income facilitates acquiring of said rich-ness haha.

For me;
~10k is inheritance
~15k from working
~9k is interest I earned from term deposits/bank accounts

And the other 8k was saving up during primary and hs. I used to do that banking in school thing.

Sadly I've always been stingy :c

Woah, that's still very impressive though.

How are you managing working full time and also studying simultaneously?

I'm doing a cadetship.
So last semester I was working full time and studying at night.
This semester I'm only working three days a week, but I get to study full time :)
