The act of saving- Why and How should we save?

in Project HOPE2 years ago

Saving is a long term way of keeping funds, most of us grew up trained by our parents to properly save a part of every money we make. For most of us, we simply grew up learning how to save and it became a good part of us. There are people who also do not believe in saving, they just earn and spend, the purpose of this post is to help us see the positive/good sides of saving and the reason why we need to save.

Why do I have to save?

• Freedom of decision: With a good amount stacked up in your savings account, it is possible to afford the type of desired house, car in the future from the money you have saved. It is best to save when you have a good financial standard at the moment, this way, you will be able to afford the same things you are able to afford now, in the future regardless of what happens.

• With a good saving plan, you will not run back into bad debt with every slight financial inconvenience. Instead of taking up bad loans, you simply need to take from your savings and sort your bills.

• Saving comes with peace and a certain level of rest of mind, when you are certain of a preserved fund that is easily accessible if things do not work as planned.

If you don't save, but rather spend every income that you make, there's very high tendency that you'll not be able to maintain your lifestyle in the future, if there's any slight financial inconveniences. Nice publication.

There are so many people who immediately move from a high class to a low one without anything to fall back on, simply because they were spending everything that was earned.

Saving is really a great option that we really need to learn from. The financial state will not be Rosey every time and that is when the saving will actually come to play. Saving can help to solve emergency issues

Really true, saving remains a very good thing to regularly consider, appreciate your time.

A good saving habit is important. It is important to know when to spend, save or invest.
