SAVING FOR RAINY DAYS
Saving lifestyle is a lifestyle of keeping something aside for the days of needs. Rainy days to my understanding are days of scarcity when a lot will be needed.
It is key for somebody to live a lifestyle of piping into the possibility of what future might look like. Yes one may not get it 100% but there is every tendency that life will not continue the same way all through ones life span. Life itself if full of dynamics, ups and downs, changes in seasons and out of seasons, times of abundancy and times of lack. It is on the basis of these listed conditions that it is expedient for one to cultivate the habits of living saving lifestyle. Some people are living in abundance today forgetting that tomorrow may not be an abundance tomorrow and failure to keep aside today for the needy tomorrow may end their of abundance in lack of tomorrow which will definitely bring sadness to them. Many who failed to invest in their future today are regretting because their yesterday was full of fun and they did not envisage that their tomorrow might not be all that fun. May also fail invest in their education by developing themselves beyond their initial certificate that gave them their first job or business. Self development is anther level of saving which many have not considered.
Piping into future that may trigger one into savings is having to begin to think that one might no longer be employable at certain age in life, what happens when one is no longer employable and if such does not have any savings to live on?
Secondly, One's certificate may become outdated in view of constant technological invention and innovation if such person does not invest in self development to upskill in other to keep himself abreast of day to changes.
Coming to think of addition to certain factional lifestyle for example, addition to buying every model of cars that is manufactured at the detriment of saving.
