I remember while growing up , they used to tell us that we should learn to save for rainy days , even in our schools they also educated us about the same thing and that shows how important it is to save money consistently.
Years after I am beginning to understand the importance of savings if one wants to experience financial freedom or at least experience financial comfort at any point in time..
It is good to save money because the money you save can help you to secure a better future for yourself , saving money can also help you in cases of emergencies , saving money can also help you to take care of bills which will help you to grow in life , saving money can also be used to raise capital which can help you start a good business and also help you get involved in a great investment that can change your life for good.
When you are saving consistently , it will also help you to become a type of person that is financially disciplined , it will also make you become the type of person who will know how to spend money wisely and it will also make you have better understanding of how to value money.
Now I know the question some of us might want to ask is how often should we save ?? , and how much should we save monthly ??
Well it depends on your pocket , as for me I would say we should keep saving as long as the money is available for saving , and we can save at least 15% of our income ,
I personally make sure that I save at least 20% of my income monthly..it is not easy for me but I make sure I save that percentage monthly and it is really helping my life , and I am able to stick to such goals because I know the great importance of consistent savings.
