Spend money on vacation and trips VS Saving money for future |
Many wise people have conteded that we should invest ourtime and money for the future doing constructive things. I was told when we spend our time and money, we should devide into three parts ; for the future, for the others, for the present. In this sense, I would like to spend money wisely with specific plan for trip and the future at the sametime since I know a trp to other new places increases my insight and refreshs myself and saving money is to prepare the future.
First, one third of money can be used for the trip. Goind on a journey, we can take a lot of advantages such as refreshment, extending the range of view and lessons out of class. When I went to Phillippines, I served one elementary school as a volunteer. At that time, to go there it costed $ 500, but it was worthier than that amount of money. Being friends with native people in there, I learned real lessons about true meaning of happiness. As well I could see the whole world how it is made of if I stay in Dae-gu, Korea, I've never known. Travel could be invaluable experience, thus, some of money could be used to please myself in the present.
Second, one third of money can be used for the others. Focusing on others, we can produce unique realationships. There are a lot of ways to use money for others. Giving presents to express gratitude toward parents, teacher or friends, being a supporter for a child in undeveloped country via world organizations such as Africa, Afganistan and India. Money can be worthier than its visible cost, using in right time and place for those who really need it. In this way, we could learn giving mind and be away from self-oriented people.
Finally, the rest of money can be used for the future. We cannot predict what will happen tomorrow. It is out of neccessary to be ready for the future. Saving money, we can make fund for a huge expense such as housing, a car, education fee, travel abroad and emergent health-care. In the last winter, I went to Phillippines as mentioned previously. At that time it took $500 but if I didn't make my bank account and saved money before, I couldn't pay for that expense. Thanks to that preparation, I could take a chance which I will never forget.
To sum, it is needless to say we should spend money wisely. But it is sometimes odd to make decision in the wise way. As I learned from one saying, it could be one of good ways to spend money, not wasting. traveling for the present compliment, sharing with others for developing character and in store for the future.
