I wasn't really a saving type, but lately looking at the current situation of things in my country, how costly things have gotten, once money enters your account or wallet, you'll be suprised of how you won't be sure of how it vanished, not to talk of having a tangible reason of what you did with the money. So recently looking at how people cry for money and personally looking at how I needed money I decided to start splitting the little allowance I get, saving one part and using the other, I won’t really say that it has made me a billionaire or that I no longer lack money but at least I have cash somewhere that I could call my own and fall back to in cause of emergency.
To cut the story short, I’m advising mostly the young people of our generation to save, avoid unnecessary spendings and save even if it’s so little, cause you might find yourself in a situation tomorrow and you wouldn’t want to call home or ask for help, cause you have a second choice, that means you are literally getting yourself out of a problem. So please it’s not too late to stop spending on things that doesn’t really matter, so basically the money you saved today could literally save you tomorrow.
What important is to learn how you are going to manage your finances, this is the thing that I learned that made me realize how important knowledge in finances is, I mean our education doesn't really have something that is going to help us learn to be a financial literate it almost like they don't want us to know this kind of things, wanted us to be working that is working 8-5 daily and then spend our money on something that we can't really afford offering us like credit cards, etc.
It is actually really easy just save a huge amount of your money instead of probably 20% up to 40% of your salary or your sources of income, the higher you save or invest the better it is going to be, with the trick don't buy anything that you don't really afford, if your card buys a phone just don't buy it yet, consider if you could recover from for example like 100$ your spending it on something if your salary is about 1000$ it is probably just a small percentage and you could easily recover from what you spend, But if you're going to spend around 1000$ on just one thing which is already your whole salary it is probably something that you need to think about first since you cant really afford it, or probably your just end up using a credit card which is the main problem that could make it difficult when it comes to your financial.
