I have been saving money for a long time, especially since my childhood because each rupee and cent is more valuble than anything so especially when we become older it is very necessary for future needs so do you have habit to save money so how much you have saved money for future needs.

Saving is a traditional merit we learn from childhood. For people of my age, however difficult we were, we managed to save something from regular income, though it came to be very little decades later. But I never regret. A successful business man started his initial fund from saving one third of his income for 6 consecutive years, before starting his own business. Saving should be consistent, tough in difficult times.

When we are younger that is the best time to save money rather wasting the money becasue every cent addded in our life with interest so in the older age it will be useful so have you face any problem with money?

Hi Desari! I'm trying to save as much as I could. Every salary, I'm keeping some money intended for future needs. But emergency cases and some financial needs always reduces my savings. But I do believe that it is very important to save money for our future especially when we grew old and could not work and support ourself financially. Have a nice day!

I try to save 10% of my monthly income. It is really important to have savings for emergency and future need. I also live within my means. As much as possible I control myself from buying unnecessary things.

I save as much as I can, but it always ends up going to pay for something. It's not any fun, but that's the way life is, especially when you have children. Right now, I have a coin jar with a little bit of money in it. Maybe $20 in coins. I need to roll those and put them in my bank account!

I think it's a good habit to save money. But we must know that money will devalue in future. I remember that when I was a child, one dime (RMB) can buy many things, but now, if there is one dime on the road, even nobody will pick it up. So I think we should find a good investment to prevent our money from devaluing.
