There are different pressing issues around me that require immediate attention, and even when I attempt to save, something important comes up that requires the money. So, it's challenging and almost impossible to save as a young person due to these reasons.
I've been through the same situation before wherein the money I earned is only sufficient for essential needs and to pay off debt. I can relate to some thing is suddenly comes up when you attempted to save since I also experienced such. But it's all in the past, my financial status improved when I decided to not be contented on my main job. I look for other opportunities to maximize my earnings and it really did help. In your case, you're still young and still capable to work more than one thus if there's an opportunity just grab it. That can help to save for the future especially if you're going to invest your money.
