money is a very delicate matter and so must be handled with care, reason been that we all have different perspective, opinions and thoughts on how best one can handle it.
personally the habit of savings is one that I discovered and started cultivating at a very young age, I just found out that if I want something I have to go get it, cause no one will get it for me, getting it means I have to save up, no matter how small.
I recall when I first had to save up my transport fare to school just to buy a pair of Sandals which one reigning in school back then, from there i saved up more for the things I need, bought text book, books, school bags, I bought my first device from savings.
savings have actually saved me and had helped me scale up pretty fast, I have been able to buy things that on a regular I wouldn't be able to,
saving requires that we be disciplined enough to say NO to many things around us, distractions and temptation all aiming for that money in your pocket, having the ability to shift your focus from these things to what truly matter is how you cultivate a saving habit
a popular quote: Planning for the future is important but saving for it is necessary, saving requires that you cut down on a lot of things now because of the greater things you aim for tomorrow, don't just arrived at your future not prepared for it, let everyday count for tomorrow.
one of my mantra is: Living today for tomorrow, meaning everything I do today i must have the future consequences in mind whether good or bad.
I have seen a lot of great athletes, celebrity, wealthy people who had enough money to spare just few years later they are down to square zero simply because they thought whatever was bringing in the money would keep it coming while they go around wasting.
enjoy your self, spend and have fun but a wise man will safe for the rainy days ahead, suppressing immediate gratification is very necessary if we must be able to have certain things in life
the lifestyle defers from person to person, money can be very tempting that's why savings really require a lot of self discipline anybody without discipline can never safe, it's not rocket science, there's no better formula to this than creating a routine that takes out money and stacking it somewhere for a greater purpose in the future.
no matter how tempting the offer is, no matter how good it is, tell yourself better ones is coming, if you spend on it today, you will still see a much better version of it tomorrow then this one will be outdated.
