I've also come to realize that there are so many temptations now in days and advertisers have made so many things needs now in days instead of wants. That new car, I promise you, is not a need...Amanda Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957305702032867371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438358143352940533.post-19540536430360189072014-01-23T19:09:16.284-08:002014-01-23T19:09:16.284-08:00Holy crap! Young people not saving drives me nuts!...Holy crap! Young people not saving drives me nuts! My 26 year-old sister just graduated from college and I try to advise her. Here is how a conversation went earlier this year:<br /><br /><strong>Me</strong>: Now it the most important time in your life to save. You are young and the money has the most time to build. Save a little now and you'll be completely set down the road.<br /><strong>Her</strong>: I'm not sure I can afford to, my apartment will be expensive and I may get a new car.<br /><strong>Me</strong>: Why don't you get a roommate or rent a room from someone of live with us for a while?<br /><strong>Her</strong>: I need my space. I don't want a roommate. Also, I want the hatchback version of my car.<br /><strong>Me</strong>: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />It drives me nuts because if you're in your 20s, all you really need to do is save hardcore for 5 years or so. It's also the best time to do it; no kids, you're used to living on less from college, etc. <br /><br />Mr. 1500https://www.blogger.com/profile/10188877283102098812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438358143352940533.post-57784731499819323342014-01-10T20:01:59.494-08:002014-01-10T20:01:59.494-08:00Most people don't want to save money, and bein...Most people don't want to save money, and being able to force yourself at a young age makes it so much easier when you are older. Ah, those parents, they knew what they were talking about.

Even whe I was in grad school and living on less than 15,000 a year, I saved. I would save 10bucks a week, but to have something in savings when I needed it.Live Simply- Live Wellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383356777633081642noreply@blogger.com
