A Malaysian man has captured the attention of netizens with his unique yet practical money-saving habit that's as heartwarming as it is inspiring.
In a recent Facebook post on the page Tuina KL 推拿高手, the man shared that he has been quietly collecting RM20 notes and storing them in an old mooncake tin. His only rule? Every RM20 note he receives goes straight into the box, no exceptions. After several years, the tin is now filled to the brim with the bright green bills.
But for him, it's not just about building up a stash of cash.
"This isn't just about money," he wrote. "It's about the ritual of life."
He explained that each time he sets aside a RM20 note, he views it as a small act of self-love, a reward for his future self.
Accompanying the post was a photo of the mooncake tin overflowing with neatly folded RM20 notes, a visual that quickly went viral. Many Malaysians resonated with his story and began sharing their own quirky saving methods in the comments.
In a reply, the man revealed that his method has helped him save approximately RM10,000 over the years. However, he acknowledged that it hasn't been easy, especially when tempted to join friends for lavish meals or indulge in spontaneous purchases.
Still, his dedication has paid off, showing that saving doesn't always have to be complex or rigid. Sometimes, it's the small, consistent acts that make the biggest difference.
