When my dad found out we bought Z’s Audi he told us it was really unnecessary. He said we should always save especially now that we’re at the peak of our health and also our careers. He said it’s necessary that we have something to tide us over in case we lose our jobs. My dad should know about saving money. This is from my observation of him. He always saves part of his income and he lives beyond his means to the point of being stingy. If you would see our apartment before it was really small even though he can afford to rent a bigger one. He saved his money while he was earning which proved to be a wise decision because when he lost his job they started a money lending business. Unfortunately, that business failed and he lost a lot of money. He was so depressed that he stopped working for a year. During those low times, they used their savings to tide them over. Good thing that after a year opportunity presented for him to start a furniture business and what’s better is he still has some savings left to start as capital for that business. Now, thank God his furniture business is thriving . If he didn’t save enough money when he was earning then he would have no money left to start his current business. That’s why he gave us that talk and that’s why I understood him when he said it’s important to save. Like him I’m also kind of a saving fanatic (if there is such a term) but I still have a lot to learn because I’m not successful all the time. Still I’m happy that we have a few. I just wish I will learn from my father and save enough to tide us over the bad times ahead.
