Forced Savings

Have you ever heard of this? To force yourself in saving money. Do we really need to force ourselves in saving money especially for people who do not have any planned retirement? Where should I force my savings on? A bank? Insurance? Annuity? Pension? I do hope I could teach myself to force save and not spend too much. Don't you think we should do this now?

Well this is good to hear. Only a few of us are able to be like you who has the capacity to save for a rainy day. Some of my savings are in the form of jewelry though. Thanks for the comment and have a nice day!

Ok, it is a good way to reserve yourself a better financially oldness, a way to do it is a private pension. try it.

A friend of mine once told me that while you are young, try your very best to save money. When you grow old, you may not be able to rely on other people to help you, especially in financial matters. This is very true. So the lesson is, whereever you want to save, just make sure you have some savings. Have a nice day!
