I wasn't really a saving type, but lately looking at the current situation of things in my country, how costly things have gotten, once money enters your account or wallet, you'll be suprised of how you won't be sure of how it vanished, not to talk of having a tangible reason of what you did with the money. So recently looking at how people cry for money and personally looking at how I needed money I decided to start splitting the little allowance I get, saving one part and using the other, I won’t really say that it has made me a billionaire or that I no longer lack money but at least I have cash somewhere that I could call my own and fall back to in cause of emergency.
    To cut the story short, I’m advising mostly the young people of our generation to save, avoid unnecessary spendings and save even if it’s so little, cause you might find yourself in a situation tomorrow and you wouldn’t want to call home or ask for help, cause you have a second choice, that means you are literally getting yourself out of a problem. So please it’s not too late to stop spending on things that doesn’t really matter, so basically the money you saved today could literally save you tomorrow.
Same here, I don't really care much about money before I would spend it how I want after paying all of what is needed to be paid, and setting the amount that I need to survive till my next salary comes.
But seeing some of the people I am close to or know buying real estate and settling down, that is when I started to save and invest avoid unnecessary expenses like going out and ordering food when I could just cook for myself.
It is hard to start over when you have nothing at all, been there done that and don't want to experience it again so I am going to save as much as I could so that money that I am saving today would save me in the future when I really need it.
