3、Learning to save money when you are young is an
important lesson. All good lessons and habits begin early, and saving is a
skill that everyone needs, many people – adults
included – do not have a good sense of saving for the
long run.
I have been lucky to learn this
lesson early because I have had a grass – cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make, I
spent about 10 percent and save the other 99 percent.
Making sure you save and don’t spend too much is a good way to
build up wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all
the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow.
Young people should realize that
their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.
At high school, many parents pay for
almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a job, you should
have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will
grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you
not only lose that money, but you also lose the interest you could have earned
by saving it.
After high school, college is
expensive and then “real” life begins, with the expense such as food
and rent.
If you can hold onto a good
percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house
will be much easier. The earlier you begin saving, the more time the money has
to grow.
If you are in your thirties
without any savings, you will always have to struggle. The earlier you begin
saving the earlier it is to create a nest egg. Later in life it can be hard to
start saving because general costs of living are most expensive and you may
only have enough to pay your bills.
If you want to buy a house and
have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving. Many say
money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a
secure life.
Saving early will mean you will
have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to
spend time doing the things that you want.
