Tips for optimising your financial status

Hi, I'm Allen, the Founder of iPYGG, also one of the Millennials. when i was 18, I got a part time job and my first wage, then I started my life living from pay-check to pay-check. I didn't know why I should manage my wealth, because I do not have any money, moreover, I started spending with my credit card. Fortunately, I did not get addicted into spending with it. However, I found how crazy and expensive it is when you just pay the minimum pay. It eliminated 1/4 wage and the repayment amount kept growing monthly just like the price of property in Hong Kong. At the end, i got a bonus from my boss so that i could sort it out. After that, I know money management is not just about investment, it's also about the Debts.

Millennials' Money Management getting worse

After years, i graduated in Uni and started my career. I came back to Hong Kong and i found that the price of property was still rising and the Gini Coefficient had risen to 45-year high. In 2019, 30% of the bankruptcy cases come from 18-39 due to overspending and personal loan.
