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.
In the late 90s, that's the advice you hear from people that you should save for rainy days when things are bright for you, a time will come when some of the opportunities you have now might not surface again but today, they don't tell you to save as inflation has eaten up many countries currencies that used to be valuable. Today, you don't save money but you invest into something that can give you a meaningful return on your money, this money will give you help you in solving many things later.
I also think that despite these generation been the luckiest ones with many opportunities, they are the laziest because they want to have things easily, even when they do have the money, they spend the money on luxurious lifestyle that will only add zero to nothing into their life. They don't realize until those opportunities becomes the things of the past and they regret their whole life.
