Saving does not necessarily require us an instant big amount. Whether it's big or small, it does not actually matter. What's most important is how you often save regardless of its amount. So if you have only few bucks left from your salary, then continue saving it because once the value compounded, it will gradually become a significant amount. And frankly speaking, even the poorest of the poor can definitely save if he really aims to, it only depends on the kind of mindset you chose to adopt.
Now my question is, why do a lot of people complain that saving is too hard for them? Well reality hits that inflation is inevitable, but does it mean that people can only save if there is no longer inflation? Or is it that people actually adopt the wrong mindset towards saving their money?
Many people complain that saving is too hard not because it’s impossible but because of how they approach it the mindset is often “i can only save if i have a lot left over” instead of “i will save something no matter how small” when people wait until they have excess money it almost never happens because expenses naturally grow to fill whatever income they have this is where discipline and mindset play a bigger role than income level.
Inflation adds another layer it eats into purchasing power and makes people feel like their savings won’t matter but that’s a misconception saving isn’t about fighting inflation directly it’s about building the habit of keeping aside money consistently once that habit is in place the next step is learning how to grow those savings through investing or other income-generating activities without the foundation of saving first, investing never even begins. The truth is saving feels hard because most people prioritize comfort today over security tomorrow they see saving as deprivation rather than as protection or preparation changing that perspective is what separates those who always struggle from those who eventually build wealth even if it starts from just a few bucks at a time.
