Reflecting on my experiences, I remember a time when I saved my money to purchase an iPad, which was a necessity for me. It was when I had just entered university, and I was required to bring an iPad. With it, I could read my papers and other textbooks easily. So, I decided to save my money to make a wise purchase. It took about six months because I received pocket money from my parents, and I didn't have my own job. I was frugal during that time and ignored some of my other hobbies to save money. Finally, when I could buy my dream iPad, I felt over the moon because it was truly satisfying. I was really happy that I could save money in that way. I was also pleased to develop my character. I could purchase my necessity by myself, and I felt independent as a young teenager, which was priceless for me.
