I got married when I was 23. Yes, all the expenses came from me. Not a grand wedding. all in less than 12k in 2012. and only one majlis.
I started saving money since my univ days, it`s just a habit of mine, I also make some money here and there, like selling phones, motorbike, cars. for example i sold a 4x4 and made 5k. the owner said he wanted a certain amount of money and that`s it, anything more, I could take it. So i sold that 4x4 and made 5k. i`d also buy 2nd hand bikes for like 2k, then sell it for 3k, 1k profit there. i`d repair student computers, printing service at my room etc. Usually I just try things out.
