Charming stories about saving money never fail to capture attention, as seen in a recent episode of KBS 2TV's "High-End Salt Bug."
On the show, a 24-year-old self-proclaimed saving king shared his impressive money-saving strategies, revealing that he aimed to save 200 million won by the age of 20. He mentioned that by saving 80% of his salary, he managed to accumulate 30 million won in one year, adding another 10 million from part-time work for a total of 40 million won. This caught the admiration of singer Lee Chan-won, who marveled at his determination, recalling his own four-year experience saving 7 million won through side jobs.
In discussing his motivation, the saving king explained his aim to purchase a home by the time he turns 30, believing homeownership would facilitate his savings efforts. Lee Chan-won humorously pointed out the challenges of buying a house in Seoul, mentioning a two hundred million won property in Daegu that has been unsold for eight years. However, the ambitious young saver confidently declared he wants to live in Seoul, providing a light-hearted moment on the show.
This delightful exchange reflects the spirit of young Koreans striving for financial independence while navigating the realities of the housing market.
