There are several ways how people can spend their money when they earn them. They can whether spend them right away when they get them or save them for some time in the future. Although people have their own idea of using the money in one of those two ways, I firmly support the idea that the money should be saved for the future with some reasons.
First of all, I think there is no one in the world who knows what will happen in the future; therefore, it is always safe to store the money in case for the future event. I believe that this is one of the main reasons why most of the people put their money into bank. To take an example of postwar of Korean War in 1953, when many Korean people had to starve in hunger without money, some people who had saved money could prosper since they had not much competitors in the business world in Korea. This is an extreme example but we surely can learn the benefits of saving money.
Second of all, people can have a better chance of dreaming a bigger future when they save money, in that they can do bigger things in the future with much money they have in store. I heard many people using the phrase; ‘Would you like a candy now or a cake later?’ Likewise, we can deserve greater future if we wait. To take an example of my childhood, I craved to have a personal computer which would take me for a year to earn this price. I remember myself resisting all the temptations to earn the money to get this pc and when I finally got it, I was as happy as I could ever be.
In summary, it is better to save the money for some time in the future instead of using immediately because you can prepare for your future and have a bigger future for your life when you save your money in store. It might be good to spend when you earn it but it is less enjoyable than to save for the future. It is always important to remind yourself when you will spend the money. |
