May: wedding, savings target and car purchase
In the world around, Trump withdrawing from the Iran deal, the Hawaii Kīlauea volcano was erupting and North Korea demolishing her nuclear test sites were top news stories in May of 2018.  In my world though, the most important events were attending my cousin’s wedding, getting at $3,000 savings target and my brother buying his first car.

  Saving target of $3,000  
  As the old adage goes ‘save for a rainy day', meaning it is worthwhile to set money aside for the future and even and emergency. When I first set the savings target, the aim was to save small amounts of money and allow me to buy the things I want and need without requiring the help of others.  From when I was a teenager my parents highlighted the need to plan for the future.
