Don't Forget to Save
When you get your first job, the last thing in the world you're thinking about is saving
money for the future. However, if you do not set aside money, you could run into
some long-term problems. Sure, you know how much your cell phone bill will be each
month. If you have a car payment to make you know exactly what the amount of that
bill will be. These are the expenses you can plan for. However, what if the brakes on
the car need to be replaced? Or worse yet, what if the car breaks and you cannot
drive it? If you haven't been saving money from your paychecks all along, you won't
be able to afford these expenses. You'll either have to borrow money from your
monthly budget to pay for the unexpected cost, which means you won't have enough
money to pay your regular bills, or you'll have to choose to not make these repairs,
which will make you unable to drive your car to work. In the long run, not saving
money is a bad choice.
