Explanation

We save money mainly to meet future needs. Some needs are urgent. Some are not, some needs can be prioritized some can be put off easily and some can be sacrified for economy. Whatever the motive for saving, it is a good means to a useful end. Savings stand us in a good stead and save us from hardships in rainy days.

But not all earning hands can save money easily. Owing to high cost of living it is hard for many earners to set aside some money for their future needs. In order to save some money, many work overtime. Many work part time after their regular daytime jobs. Most can only make both hands meet with sweat of their brows. Those who live below the poverty line hardly save a square meal. Living full life is a daydream for them. Therefore, they stay content with what they can earn to live on.
