Do you save money for yourself or for others?

Why are you saving money. Is it for yourself or for someone? Well, to be honest, my main reason for saving is not for myself but for others. I love treating my friends in restaurants and I like giving something for my friends especially when it is their birthday.. It gives my satisfaction and joy that I can't explain. But of course, I always make it a point to reward something for myself whenever I achieve something.

Allenbucks.. I want to be your friend, you're a cool person. For me, I save money not only for me, I save money for my family too. It's hard to live without money nowadays so instead of buying expensive gadgets I rather save my money. God bless!

I am saving money not only for myself but also for my family. It is actually my outmost priority in life. No one knows what the the future brings so I am preparing for it. I might lose my job today, tomorrow or the next day. NO one really knows. So being prepared is a must so we can continue with our lives what ever happens.

money - and a piggy bank
I do like spending money on other people. I like to buy gifts and get people food and all that. I am saving money however, and it's for colleg and in case I'm ever in a situation and I need some money to fall back on.

I am saving for myself and for others. It is always good to have money to help other people when they need something. I enjoy buying presents to my family and friends too.

I think for both. For me, to sustain my needs and to avoid asking money from my family always. Example: my school books. For others too, so that whenever they need money and i have, I'll let them lend to me and you're right, for the gifts too!

I am saving money for myself, not others. I might need to use it during emergency, so it's better to have some savings. I also intend to buy a house in the future. It might took years before my savings accumulate to such amount that can be use but at least it's better than nothing. For rewarding myself and leisure, I use another account.
