Should you save money for a rainy day?
I met a friend. She is sad, upset about something. I ask what happened? She replies: “Why be happy? The holidays are just around the corner, and there's still a whole week until payday. It’s time to buy gifts, but there’s no money.”
I was very surprised that she didn’t have even small savings. When I told her about this, I was offended. And her answer struck me: “I don’t save as a matter of principle, and I hardly make any reserves. If something happens, some thousand won’t save me anyway.”
Then I heard that you need to live for today, without looking intofuture . They are used to family vacations at the seaside, they spendmoney for pleasure, leaving onlyfood , utilities and school lunches for children. If there is no money in the house, they make do with pasta, and the children eat at school!
I thought that our people had already learned to save. But it turned out not. A friend criticized me that I was waiting for a “rainy day.” But at the same time, as if by the way, she asked to borrow several thousand. I said that I don’t have any free money, everything has been calculated, and the “black test-antibiotic.com day” has not yet come for savings. She took the hint and immediately left without saying goodbye.
