Thirty-two-year-old Chinese resident Wang Shenai has revealed that she has been saving around 90% of her salary each month for the last nine years, and could even afford to buy two flats in Nanjing city.
Speaking to Chinese company Tencent on extreme money saving, the mother of two said that she never eats out, spends below US$17, which is around RM70.57 on underwear, cuts costs on clothes by wearing second-hand clothes of her friends, and uses public transport to commute.

She also never spends her money on luxury goods and expensive dinners with friends, and she often takes used furniture.
