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.

When you are young you should try to enjoy life through experience and travel, rather than materialistic things like chasing the latest iPhone or Apple headset. However peer pressure can be surprisingly powerful at that age and many only start to think independently of it into their twenties. It's a very hard balance to find, as they can often be on low wages anyway, but when you are young is the best time to make financial mistakes as you have plenty of time to rectify it later - just try to avoid going into debt as that brings it's own problems.
