Saving: Key to Independence

They said, the feeling of getting what you want which comes from your sacrifices, hardworking and especially from your own pocket cannot replace the feeling that anybody can give you. But what if you are only a student who depend on your parents? What will you do to get all the things you want to have? Only one thing that comes to my mind. Save. You need to save.

Me as a student, a teenager who wants to have and to buy all the things I need and I want but doesn't have the capability and money to buy all those stuffs, I always said to myself, "Time will come , I will be able to buy and get you, just wait and you'll be mine!" But what happened? Nothing! In the end of the day I did not get what I want. Funny right? It will just stay in my dreams and wait for the right time that i will be able to buy and get what I want. It is easy to say to, the only thing you need to do is earn but it is hard to do especially everything that surrounds you is a big temptation- food. So I thought, is it the money that controls the world? If you will look at it in the reality world I can say that, Yes! Money controls everything. Why? Because everything that the person needs from clothing, shelter and especially food until to the person wants to have, the gadgets and everything else that even without it, people can still live and survive without it, it still needs money to get and have it. Even it is not good to hear but it's true, you cannot live and survive in this world without money.

But what if you are a dependent person, who needs to ask for allowance for you to be able to go to school? It is very embarrassing for you that every time you need to buy the things you want you will always ask money. It is better for you to save money that if ever you want something or there is unexpected that happened that you need cash, you have money to spend for it, even it is not comes from your own hard work but it comes from your effort to save money.
