Happy new week everyone! I am very happy today as I am kicking alive and very healthy besides than we are having a sunny 30 degrees weather. It is only a few days before we have June. Have you any goal for the next month! What is it? The time has come that I have to count my one year tips from working part time. Every time I am in Germany and work as a part time massage therapist, I save my tips in a whisky box from the whisky we had bought years ago in Ireland. The whisky box was not full but half full. I counted the coins and paper Euros with excitement. I have saved €342.50. Well, it is not much compared to last time I saved. But, the last 2 months, I didn't put my tips as I spend them for things I need for my travel. I have a big

. Life is good to me. I am blessed with everything I need in life. Thanks for my hard work. Fellow mylotters. I am not bragging here. I am just happy to tell you how I feel. I hope all of you are fine and in good health.

It is always good to keep some money as savings. But most of us failed to do as we have to attend more expenses than income. It is wise to save then spend the rest. Glad for you.

Savings are really important to me and yes I do save a small proportion of my earnings. The future is uncertain and that's the main reason I save. I have also used my savings for my holidays abroad or purchase stuff.

Did not see any bragging in what you wrote. You deserve that savings since you work hard for it. Good job for you? Si what's the plan now?

Congratulations and jubilations! Will you use the money for a trip to your homeland? The weather in Germany is indeed very good at the moment. Yet, I don't trust it. It's too warm. We're only at the end of May. Thunderstorms are predicted for the following days. Hopefully, there won't be flooding.

Thank you @ MALUSE. Yes, I will use it for my travel home. I love the weather at the moment. It prepares me for going home in the moisty and hot weather. I hope there won't be flooding in your place.

I am actually saving up for the moment as my current lending business has sufficient fund. I will probably use it for other lending business soon.

I am so happy that you are doing so well at saving. Yes, we save money, too. I think it is important for everyone to try to save, because you never know when you will need the extra money.

Many people who do not save fail to understand one giant word...DIVIDENDS. If you play your cards right, and save your principal, eventually the dividends add up to paychecks, and you can DEFINITELY spend that. Everything else you earn, then, becomes gravy.
