Who says kids these days only spend money on snacks and video games?

One young boy just proved everyone wrong by secretly saving up a whopping RM767 from his daily RM15 allowance, without his mum having a clue!

In a viral video by @jeanniesoo7687, the amused mum revealed she found the hidden stash neatly tucked inside her son’s school bag.

“My son’s savings box. He gets RM15 a day as pocket money and he managed to save quite a lot in a year. He brings RM767 to school every day,” he said.

Netizens were amazed by his discipline, calling him a "Elon Musk" and joking that he's got more money in his bag than an adult's bank account.

The story also struck a chord with parents, showing that saving is not just about money, but it’s about discipline, patience and self-control.

Looks like this young saver is already thinking ahead, one RM15 note at a time.
