The investment banking analyst was living with her family while saving, meaning she didn't have rent or other bills to pay.

“I've always recognised the value of money, but understanding how to use it and make it work for you is the real tea.”
Hilary's key tips for saving are fairly straightforward: cut out any unnecessary spending, use credit cards for cash-back and create a budget that works for your needs.
The savvy businesswoman put aside £2 000 (about N998,000) per month – representing two-thirds of her salary – for almost two years, Metro reported.
Out of her outgoings, 24 percent went to general expenses.
“Two-thousand pounds was a good part of my monthly income at the time, but during the pandemic where nothing was really open and I was working from home and living with family rent-free, with little to no financial responsibility, it wasn't too hard,” Hilary said.
