Saving money is HARD especially if you’re like me who is always on a see-food diet (all the food I see, I eat). We’ve got to start thinking about the future when we’re not working anymore. Saving up and figuring out ways to make passive income is the goal. Seriously, if you find a way to earn cash without lifting a finger, hit me up—no gatekeeping allowed! The best move is to start saving now.
Why You Need to Save Money
If it’s still not obvious why, here are several reasons why we need to save money.
To stop eating preservatives: It’s fun to spend money on unnecessary things but knowing 50 different ways to cook instant noodles because you don’t have any money for a decent meal anymore is just seasoning your body with preservatives at this point.
To not feel nervous when your car makes a noise that sounds expensive: When you hear your car make a sound that’s new to your ears, you immediately feel nervous and begin calculating in your head how much you can get for one of your kidneys.
To be able to live independently: Sure, your parents love you, but they didn’t expect you to still be their roommate in your thirties.
To actually go on that vacation, you’ve been “saving” for the last 20 years: Not just repeatedly telling your friends about your #TravelGoals
To be able to afford 3-ply tissue paper: Adulting is not only hard but also expensive!
To have money during emergencies: Emergencies happen, and if you don’t want your parents to know that you forgot to turn off the faucet before heading to work, turning your apartment into a mini water park, you’d better have some cash saved up to pay for the damages!
To finally stop searching for “free fun activities near me”: Spoiler alert! There are only so many times you can go on a nature walk before it loses its excitement.
