If you have a family ,it will teach you how to save money for your future. But if youre single and dont have any plans for the future you will not know what is the meaning of saving if your totally have nothing.
Your absolutely right,some single men and women dont know how to save ,they rely on thier parents about everything they want.
But to a open minded person and have plans for his/her future saving will be his major priority.
You cannot rely to your parents all the time because we are getting older overtime and so with your parents, your parents income will not be consistent as time will come that they will retire and their money will be spent more on the medicine. We have to strive for our own as in the future we will also have our own family.
