Based in Sydney, Aftab Bismi, who is 30 years old, operates in data solutions at Suncorp Group and has offered his key suggestions for achieving financial flexibility in 2025.
Mr. Bismi said he drives a 20-year-old Toyota since purchasing a new vehicle would deplete his total savings of $20,000.
‘The simplest solution is to figure out how to cease spending so much money,’ he said.

I allocate only a small sum of money, or when I do spend it, there’s always a reason behind it.
For instance, I would be okay with splurging on a dinner if those involved could potentially offer something beneficial to me in the future.
Mr. Bismi mentioned that this would encompass friends, possible business collaborators, or individuals with whom he could exchange thoughts and concepts.
The budding data specialist was inundated with compliments in the remarks section following the video, being referred to as ‘articulate’ and a ‘bright individual’.
One user commented, ‘I want to learn more from this person!’
“I wished I possessed that knowledge at age 30… well done, buddy… wishing you every success,” someone else commented.
The budding data specialist also revealed his approach to managing expenses: investing in just one or two items at a time.
“I would consistently put my resources into acquiring knowledge from professionals since such opportunities are quite rare,” he stated.
Mr. Bismi mentioned that his initial encounter occurred at the age of 14 when he joined a camp led by a former member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
“That camp is about three times more expensive than regular camps. I’m learning from someone who has successfully utilized it and discovered how they achieved that,” he explained.
Mr Bismi discussed with Daily Mail Australia where he chooses to put his money and where he avoids investing in his regular routine.
He has canceled certain streaming subscriptions, refrains from purchasing new gadgets, and never dines out or orders takeout alone: “Additionally, dining at restaurants does not provide sufficient protein.”
To avoid making impulsive purchases, he waits until the following day before finalizing his online orders. Additionally, he only treats himself to coffee during work outings or social events.
What does he end up spending his money on?
Mr. Bismi mentioned that he enjoys indulging in perfumes and giving presents.
“People recall that you’re the person with the pleasant aroma… [and] folks tend to offer better presents and associate positively with you because of it,” he stated.
