Saving money is stretching your purchasing capacity. Saving money is preparation for contingency. Some people are misled to believe that the only way to have a secure future and comfortable life is to have a big income. This is maybe true to some extent. However, for most of us who belong to the working class, the salary we receive will never be enough to cover all contingencies such as hospital bills for sudden illness or tuition fee for the children.
Savings is a solution to this predicament.
Saving money is
gathering financial strength. If you have savings, you will feel more secure. Nonetheless, saving will only work if you have proper budgeting. The priorities of budget should be the basic necessities of the household such as food, clothing, rent or
mortgage installment, and bills. The next group of priorities should include daily allowance for the children and school expenses. The second group of budget priorities may also include your daily work-related expenses such as car fuel and maintenance or public transportation fare. The last budget priorities include expenses for family recreational activities such as picnics or family outing. You should avoid impulsive buying so as not to affect your over-all budget.
Budgeting is a way of fitting your income to cover all your needs. Budgeting is predetermining and prioritizing the most important aspects of your daily living. You may budget on a weekly or monthly and even yearly basis, depending on your income and needs.
