Saving For The Future
Money is one of those things that always seems to be around. No matter matter how fast I spend it. It goes as fast as it comes but it always returns with no problem. Now I’m not saying I’m some rich kid that is sitting on a wod of cash, I say this to go into the fact that I am the worst saver on the face of the Earth. This is because since having a job I know that in a week or two I will replace what I just spent so I do not worry as much. There is no upside to this. Yes I get what I want in the moment but what about the future? I think about the things I would like to do and the goals I have but of course like most things in this world I need money for them. Yes, I tell myself all the time that I’ll start saving one of these days but I’ve just not gotten to that point yet.
There’s a lot of responsibility that I have that also comes into play with my bad spending habits. Paying bills just sucks everything right up. It’s like as soon as I get paid the money disappears. These are the factors that I have no choice but doing but it still is something that gets in the way. From my phone bill,car insurance,and other bills I help with around the house it’s almost like I didn’t get paid at all. So it gets pretty frustrating sometimes. I know that in the future there may be more responsibilities that I’m going to have to deal with so I’m going to have to learn fast how to manage my money. If not I am going to face a lot of problems that could be easily avoided if I prepare now.
Don’t get me started on my car. Collectively this is where most of my money goes. I wish it was easy to just buy a car and leave it at that but as most people know cars are so much maintenance. It is sort of an investment. Being that I am a young man I take pride in my car so I am always trying to make it look the best that it can. A few months ago I decided to upgrade and buy a new car. I wouldn’t say this was a waste of money
