Money saving

(Blog revived... trying to write a short one)

Suddenly something came into my mind about money saving. 

I guess it's normal that people around my age (25 ish) in my country, Malaysia start saving once they started to work.
Maybe it's only applicable to my friends. 
Why do we save money? Mainly is for property buying.

Some of my friends save around 30% of their salary (so do i). 
20% plus already gone for utilities (no running away usage)
I have been wondering how am I going to survive with less than 50% of my salary. 
Anyway, it's possible and it's been 2 years (there's some hidden sponsors)

These aren't my point for this. 
My main point is that we need to save more money for short term spending e.g. vacations.
I never save money for short term until I decided to go to the very expensive country, Japan. 
I was quite struggling for few months to save the money... (luckily accident happened)

+ some of my friends couldn't attend some sudden decided vacation due to lack of money
it's pretty sad to hear it

If it's financially allowed
it is always better to keep a bit of extra money for this purpose
Maybe this is for me only as I like vacation a lot
it's suffering to hold yourself from doing what you like when going vacation

Spend less on hmmmm... alcohol? (kinda tough too) save more for holidayssssss
