These financial posts are a must-have for managing personal financial conditions, namely savings, emergency funds, and retirement funds.Savings are used for long-term financial planning, such as for wedding expenses, buying a house, or other plans.Meanwhile, emergency funds are important for emergency situations that can occur at any time. For example, suddenly losing a job, emergency funds can be used to sustain life until a new job is found. Don't forget about the mandatory retirement funds that need to be owned to break the sandwich generation cycle so that it is enough for you. Retirement funds should ideally be prepared since the beginning of work, not when approaching retirement. So, you have more time to prepare for retirement later.

The sandwich generation must have experienced this, working hard like a horse but unable to enjoy their money because of the many expenses that must be borne. As a form of appreciation for yourself, don't forget to set aside a budget to make yourself happy. For example, to buy your favorite food or buy a dream item that you have wanted for a long time.

If the budget is not enough for self-reward spending every month, you can start saving for the next few months. For example, if you want to buy a new smartphone or other branded items, you can give yourself 3-6 months to save for it.
