Should You Save Or Spend Your Money
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Everyone will at one point be faced with the decision to save their money for the future or to spend it for instant gratification.
So, let's take a closer look at these options.
What do you get when you buy something you don't need by you want?
Well, you get whatever your money can go out and buy, whether that be a new toy or an exciting cruse. The problem is that your money runs out and you did not buy anything that retained value.
Whatever you buy with your money also probably will not last. So your money basically just vanished off of the face of the earth, or more precisely, goes to someone else's pocket.
We are creatures of habit, so spending will only lead to more spending. As we run out of money we need more to buy new pointless stuff so we have to work harder and harder to satisfy our needs.
On the other hand if you decide to save your money instead of spending it as fast or faster then you make it what do you get?
Well you get some more money in your savings for a rainy day. And if you keep saving and start investing into something like dividend paying stocks or start your own business and invest into that then you are working to create something for yourself.
We are creatures of habit so saving leads to more saving and investing leads to more investment ideas and approaches. This leads to a lot more money and eventually it can lead to financial freedom. This is where your investments pay you enough so that you no longer have to work to survive.
I'm not saying that you should live like a bum on the street but with a big bank account. No, take care of your bills treat yourself sometimes. But don't make it a habit, saving money should be the habit to reinforce.
In general saving money can have a much bigger impact on your life in the long term then spending it. When you are spending your money you are wasting it, but when you save and invest it you are working to create something.
