Nowadays, people tend to enjoy life for present more than for the future. In many cases, people spend their money on summer vacation. It seems almost people earn money for just spending. I understand it is important to enjoy their life. However, as far as I am concerned, for better future, I would save my money. The reasons follow as below.
First of all, you are not sure about future. We all need to plan for our future. Some people may plan to get married, go to college, have children, and buy a house. For all those plans, most of cases except for millionaires need to save money. From my parent experience, if my mother and father didn’t save any money, I may not exist right now. I guess my parent worked hard, and saved money. Finally, they could buy an apartment, and we can live in our home now.
On top of that, in our life, there are always unexpected circumstances follow. If you don’t prepare for the future, you will really regret. Even though, bad things never happened to you so far. You never know what’s going to happen tomorrow. For instance, when I was 6th grade, my family had car accident on the way to visit my grand parent.
My mon, dad, and me we all had to stay in hospital for several days. My dad couldn’t work. If my parent didn’t have savings, I don’t want to imagine next.
For the last, I think saving is first thing you should do before you go on vacation.
You can always go travel once you get retired. After people retired from their work, there are not much to do. And then, you will have more time to travel and you can enjoy time there more. If I go travel without any money in my bank, I won’t be able to enjoy my time fully because I have to worry about next payments for my credit card from this trip. I rather stay home, and not spending any money.
As you can see above, without any plan for the future savings in your bank, you won’t be happy even during your vacation. I strongly believe that I rather live for the future than the present. |
