People have varied opinions on whether it is better to save money they earn than spend it right away. I agree with the idea that saving money is better than spending the money immediately for two reasons. First, people can do more meaningful things in the future if they save money. Second, spending money right away can lead to bad spending habits.
Above all, saved money can be used in the future for better things. When I attended university, my roommate not only studied hard, but also worked hard. During the semester, she always did a part-time job on weekends. Once the vacation started, she worked every day. Sometimes, she even did two part-time jobs. She always saved the money she made. Also she tried her best not to waste money. Rather than buying new books, she bought second-hand books from older students. I found out that she was saving money because she wanted to open an on-line shopping mall before she graduates. She saved her money like that for nearly four years. When the graduation was approaching, she finally launched her own on-line shopping mall. She then started to make a substantial amount of money for her shopping mall. If she hadn’t saved her money, it wouldn’t have been possible for her to achieve her goal.
Besides, if people spend their money right away rather than saving it, people could end up with the bad habit of wasting money. When I was a teenager, my parents gave me money for good grades. Whenever my parents gave me money, I immediately spent it on clothes and accessories. I never thought about saving it. What’s worse, I thought money was easy to make. So when I went to university, I spend money whenever I earned it. Seeing my roommate saving her money, I thought that maybe I should try saving money too. But since spending money right away became a habit for me, I couldn’t stop wasting it. I sometimes even found myself spending money on things I don’t need. In the end, when I graduated, I was left with no money. It took me several years to fix my wasting habit. If I had grown a habit of saving money, I could have ended up with a better result.
In conclusion, I disagree with the statement that people should spend their money immediately for two reasons mentioned above. First, saving money can lead to better and meaningful works. Also, spending money without saving it can lead to a bad habit of wasting money which takes a long time to get rid of. |
