How to build savings and achieve financial security from ground zero?

There was a time in Taiwan when even college students without much money could obtain credit cards. I was one of those students who got their first credit card, learning to spend money long before learning how to earn it.

Other times, we can't afford to laugh after receiving a credit card bill the next month. But if you are able to save drastically, you will have the last laugh not only next month but in life.

By J.C. Wan/ Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com The world tells us to spend. It is how a society gets prosperous after all.
