A money coach named Parween Mander has shared a simple story about saving money and building wealth. Her story is now helping many people think differently about personal finance.
Parween started saving money while working a normal full time job. She also did small side jobs to earn extra cash. By the age of 26. She had saved $100,000. By the time she turned 30 her savings reached $300,000.
In 2021, Parween lost her job. But she did not panic. She had savings and a clear plan. This helped her stay safe during a hard time. Today, she works as a money coach. She helps women and first time earners learn how to manage their money.
Parween says the first step is to know where your money goes. She suggests checking bank and card records from the last three months. This helps people see how much they earn and how much they spend.
The next step is cutting costs. She advises people to cancel unused apps and services. She also says people can save more by lowering big costs like rent.
If saving is still hard. Parween suggests earning more money. This can be done by asking for a raise or doing a side job. Even small extra income can help.
She also talks about smart saving. Parween says regular savings accounts grow very slowly. High yield savings accounts are better. She also supports investing through retirement plans when possible.
Some CNBC editors shared their own plans too. They track their net worth. They plan big costs early. Some use side jobs. Others automate savings so money is saved without effort.
Parween’s story shows a clear message. You do not need to be rich to build wealth. You need simple habits. Small smart steps taken again and again can lead to a strong and safe future in personal finance.
