Majorty of people expereinced making a decsion where to save money or use the money to travel. Thinking of the future, many people would choose without hestation to save money. However, I strongly believe that its is more wise to spend that money to travel, if you have an opportunity. There is no gaurntee that the money will avaiable later in future. In addition to that, if you are to travel, you can enjoy the trip when you are younger.
To begin with, it is impossilbe to foretell what will happen in the future, we can not even be sure what will happen next second. That being said, how can we be sure that there would be no incident where the money would be required in the future? From my experience, I have learned many times when I have the extra money, I tend to spend it regardless of my descion. End up regreating why I did not spend the money when I had a chance. If I had used the money to travel, I would have been very satisfied with my spending yet, in the end, I ended up with nothing but bunch of useless bills in my walllet. How foolish I was to exchange few pieces of clotheing over experience that can last forever! I believe many people will agree that, when clothing are out of fashion, it becomes useless, but memroies never go out of trend. It is simply more wise to spend the money to travel.
Furthermore, it is a great mind set to be preparing for the future, however, can you really enjoy your life when you are old? In my opinion, all the money you have saved up is not used effiecntly, if you are not enjoying the spending. As we know, when people get older, it is nature that we get weaker and get tired easily. Yet, many people would rather save the money to travel many more places later in their life. Is this really realistic? My grand parents for example, worked all their life and saved quite a bit of money, yet, now they are in hospital where they cannot move their body without help of others. At this state, how could they possibly travel? They always have thought, they could be able to travel when they had money regrading to their age. Now, the money saved was being used for health care. When I see them, I always think, it is wise to take the chance when its given. When I have an opportunity to travel, I would go without a single hesitation.
To sum up, everything in our life requires a choice, Whether choice is important or not there is no such thing as sure answer. When it comes to saving money for future or spending it to travel, There is no question that I would go travling. Some may disagree with me but as I mentioned above, the memories are priceless and sometimes saving could lead to losing it all. This is because money does not garuntee happiness or a bright future. It is wise for individuals think carefully what is good investment.8 |
