Anna Haotanto was 21 when she set her first major financial goal: buy her parents a home before she turned 30.

After finishing high school, Haotanto went to the Singapore Management University to study finance, taking as many extra classes as she could. She then starting working as a wealth manager and figured out a time frame for paying her family's debts and buying them a home. But she also practiced a frugal lifestyle. She avoided what she referred to as the"cafe mentality," which she said is common mistake for millennials and can lead to frivolous spending. Instead, she limited her spending to 100 Singapore dollars per week and just one indulgent holiday per year.

"For a long time women, especially in Asia, have been conditioned to think they're not good at dealing with money. I wanted to change that," said Haotanto.
