Savings: Living for The Future

The majority of people will want to save money but the situation that surrounds them is preventing them from making a move, it might be a low income or they dealing with the problem of paying up a debt, but it's always important to make efforts in saving money. Saving should not be underestimated if we want to build a secure future, it's a means through which we provide a backup from the uncertainties that might happen in the future, but in a situation where there are no savings, what will happen? it's unpredictable, but it's important to plan ahead. The plans we make today will determine how the future will look like.

Implementing the act of saving is also a way of building wealth for ourselves, and it's important we know more about finance to achieve something good. People save for different reasons, some people save money to buy a house, to buy a car, start up a business, etc, and some people are making saving for emergency funds, but the most important thing to know is to make sure that what we are saving for will be of great benefits in the future. Sometimes, when I want to carry out impromptu expenses and I realize that I don't have enough savings, I'm gonna feel bad, and might not even have enough courage to do anything, but whenever I have I have some savings with me, I feel happy within me because I'll not have to worry about how to get the money, same thing applicable to the individual, lack of savings make us lose courage.

I have never wanted a future where I will be dependent on anyone, making a lot of saving have always been on my bucket list and that's why I'm investing, particularly in crypto.

Investing is one way we can save for the future.

This is a choice we have to make for ourselves and it requires self-sacrifice. Even though I have the power to power down my HP but I choose to save it. Buying and stacking other coins can not be underestimated too, because we are planning to make profits from them and then save the profit for future purposes.

People also save for emergency funds through the banking system

This is the idea of keeping a certain amount of money in the bank, this can be every week or monthly, it depends on our capacity. The income we are earning also determines how much we put in the bank per week/month, but the aim is to achieve certain goals. This kind of savings is beneficial for emergency funds. Emergencies are capable of draining us financially, it might be the loss of a job or illness, and it's gonna be a big problem if we don't have savings. So how are we prepared for unforeseen situations?

This kind of money should be in a saving account, it will also serve as a way of making some profit because of the interest on it. Imagine saving up a huge money amount of money, the interest will be massive. And Whenever we take money from our savings account/emergency funds, we should try as much as possible to rebuild it again in other to meet up with other future needs.

Living within our reach

This is another way to save money. There's no way we can save up money when we are living a life that is standard than the income we earn, rather, we'll end up running into debt.One of the reasons why some people are living beyond their reach is because they want to meet up with the society standard and they'll end up facing financial instability. spending more than we earn doesn't look like a responsible choice. You might need a house and when you can afford you afford to buy a flat but you decided to borrow a loan because you think a bungalow will be better, that's crazy! Something about debt is that it will hinder you from making financial plans and you'll find it difficult to save because you're struggling to payoff your loan

Staying out of debt is important if are planning to save, there's nothing bad in getting things you are capable of paying for, and you'll still have enough money to do other necessary things without running out of money. So it's important to evaluate how much we are earning and how much we spend in other to make the necessary adjustment. This made me remember a friend of mine, not a close friend anyway. Any money that enters into her account, she will make sure she will spend everything, she will make meals that will cost her a lot of money, and buy some expensive wear until she's left with nothing and she doesn't mind begging for food tomorrow. Whenever I question her spending habit, she will also say " I'm gonna spend the one I have today to enjoy myself, and when It finishes, I will know it has finished". We should not live for today alone, but we should make goals to save for tomorrow.

Some people don't have savings, because they only care about their present needs. Tomorrow is not going to take care of itself if we don't make plans today. It's always easy to purchase whatever we want with the money we want, but are we saving enough? There are so many reasons to save for the future, some people don't even have a retirement plan, They worked so hard till their old age because they failed to save for the future. Saving for the future should be something we should take seriously. However, saving our money does mean we can't have fun, enjoy ourselves, have a nice time, etc that's why a budget is important, we make a budget for it, but mind you, we can not do it every time else. When we learn how to save, with time, we'll work less. If we start now to make plans now, the money will begin to grow gradually until it becomes huge, and this will have a good effect on the quality of our lives.
