I am opposite of my late mum a spender who will not hesistate to spend on myself especially on others such as paying for meals, drinks and pamper them with gifts so I can receive the love that I lack of during childhood and having friends around me. 
Mum will asked me to save and purchase property when my hdb flat was 5 years old. I was very comfortable with where I stayed and refused to move out of my comfort zone. 

I was in debt before marriage and after my first son was born as I wanted to look good so went to slimming sessions and they would upsell me to sign on more packages so I would look good. 

After attended few development program including financial management, I managed the habit of saving and reducing my expenses. I have also tripled my income within 3 years after promotion and moving up to next level job n another company. Shifted mindset and think out of the box the possibility of managing my money, career and family.
