"Hi, I'm Hiqma, a Gen Z who will give you tips on how to get rich through frugal means. Alhamdulillah, I was able to reach my first Rp100 million at the age of 20," he said in the video.
Hiqma allocates her expenses very strictly. In a month, she only spends Rp 1.5 million for living expenses. Her boarding costs Rp 700 thousand, while for food and daily needs it is only Rp 800 thousand. To reduce expenses, she prefers to cook her own rice and buy side dishes at warteg.

"My principle is, if you eat rice three times a day, you don't need to buy snacks," he said.
The concept of frugal living implemented by Hiqma has also drawn various comments from netizens. Some are inspired and consider it a positive example, but others feel that the method is too extreme.
