I earn Sh1,500 daily. How can I budget so that I can save for my own matatu?

If you discipline yourself to save Sh290 a day in a Sacco and reinvest the dividends you earn, you should reach your Sh200,000 target in about two years.

I am a public service vehicle driver living in Eldoret. I earn Sh1,500 per day, which is about Sh39,000 per month. I get paid daily. I have a wife and three children.

Two of my children are in public primary school (Grade Five and Three) while the last born started kindergarten this year. My wife owns a kiosk at the matatu stage.
