Saving is easy for some people; hard work for others. In
general, the more people earn, the more they can save. However,
most people can afford to save some money without too great a sacrifice.
The problem with establishing a savings plan is that you have to show
some discipline! If you saving for a car and have set a strict budget;
and then you hear that your favourite band is touring at a cost of $80
per ticket, you shouldn't give in to temptation. You should continue
saving your money for your car.
Responsible
financial management means making the best use of our limited amount of
money. This involves making sensible choices. For example, saving a
part of your income is a responsible thing to do. However, those people
who try to save all their income are no more sensible than those
who spend all theirs. Ultimately, responsible financial management means
using money so as to obtain the greatest possible amount of
satisfaction in return.
