So to start off, the goal that I really want to achieve is to save up and buy a two-bedroom apartment for my husband and me. I hope to make this happen as soon as possible, ideally within the next five years. We have already started saving for that, but due to certain economic problems and the situation in the world, particularly in our country, it's really hard to save for things because you never know what's going to happen tomorrow. A lot of our income is diminished by apartment rent, which is really frustrating. The first step we took was to plan our budget and scan for regions in our city. We have outlined what we want in an apartment; we want it to have a separate kitchen and a built-in wardrobe because it saves a lot of space. I want it to be really light and spacious. This is important to me because I believe I will feel much more confident and safe if I have my own place to live, with documents that state my name on it. So, the goal is to save up for that apartment, and the plan is to save around 10 to 20% of our monthly income. We may also invest some money in a bank account for long-term savings or possibly trade in some cryptocurrency. All of this is part of our strategy to achieve our goal.
