Most of the people in modern society travels to other countries either to experience new ambience of the world or to relieve stress from their tremendous amount of work. Travelling, however, requires quite a lot of money, including the airplane tickets, accomodations, and foods. I personally believe that saving money for the future has more advantages facets than spending money on travelling. Saving money not only saves you from emergency situations, but also to buy cars or houses that needs huge amount of money to invest. My views can be greatly substantiated by the reasons addressed below.
First of all, saving money can help you to escape from any emergency situations that you encounter. There is going to be an emergency circumstances at least once in a life time. From my personal experience, I once travelled to Europe to visit ancient venues and architecture museums for my university course. However, because of the natural disaster happened in the Iceland, I could not move from England to Greece. All of the airports in London area were closed and I had to stay there for extra one week. That was of course an emergency situation and required quite a lot of money to reschedule my plans and to pay for the hotels while lingered by the natural disaster. I really regret on going to Europe trip.
Not only that, it prevents you to worry about buying stuff that requires huge amount of money in the later of life. People must buy houses and cars when they get older. Those became the necessities in today's world. One cannot live properly without those. For example, a lot of people loan money from bank to buy houses, because they haven't saved their money when they were young. I am not saying that loaning money from bank is bad, but some of the people are loaning quite a lot of money to buy it, even at the level where they cannot pay back.
To sum up the points, I believe that saving money for the future has more advantages aspects, such as preparing for any emergencies, than spending money on travelling to other countries. Although travelling might provide you some experiences, I believe that there is no point of experiencing the new world, if you cannot plan for your future properly. As a non-risk taker, I would rather buy houses without loans than going on a trip.
