Saving and Borrowing Money
Since I was a child, my parents asked me to save my own money by putting a dollar into a piggy bank. I asked them why I have to do it, and they said:” It’s for your future honey, you will need it later”. And now, I can understand why I should have to do it.

There are million reasons to save money, a car for your transportation, a house for living, and many more important things that you have to afford in your life. Saving is more important in long-term financial, who know when we need money for emergency situations, or when people get a retirement from company and they need some money to open a small business for themselves. Things happen just like that, you should have a financial security. The tips for saving is you save the money as possible as you can from anytime in life, the more that you save the more you secure for your financial life (Houston Community College, 2005-2014).

Nowadays, most of people choose to save their money by depositing to the bank. Ether saving the money they have, people also can earn the interest of the bank from their money .They call it the saving account, I call it the money with benefits (Houston Community College, 2005-2014). There are different rate of interest on different banks. The common is that you will receive the extra money at the end of each year. It could be unremarkable money but you will surprise in a long period of time, as long as you keep your money in saving account.
In some case, people do not have enough money to support things in life, they borrow the money from sources. Some go without interest some go with interest. It calls debts.” Debt is money you borrow today and pay back tomorrow “(Houston Community College, 2005-2014). I believe that we should meditate our situation before borrow the money from any sources.

    The person needs food, shelter, and water so the debt grows, making it impossible for it to be paid back. One example is that in India Dolamani Bagh took out a loan from a rich landlord so him and his wife, Mathura, could get married. To repay the loan they both had to do agricultural work on the landlord’s farm for seven years, and their only payment was 8-10 sacks of grain per year. Another example is Bitu and his entire family worked at a brick kiln in rural India. They lived and worked at the kiln and, needing more money to survive, they continually borrowed more money from the owner, which then pushed them further and…

    With so many important aspects in life one of the most important is to save for the future. The best way to do this and most effective way is to create a saving plan. My savings plan starts with choosing the right account. A money market account that yields a higher return is always a good choice. This type of account however usually requires a minimum opening and continuing balance but has a better long-term interest rate (TDECU, 2005-2010). Using a money market account separate from my checking or savings account allows me to stay within a structured budget by keeping that money for my savings goals.…

    In daily life, money is considered as one of the most important aspects for people to satisfy their needs and enjoy their life easily. Without money, we cannot accomplish a lot of things and then have a hard life with no goals. Al Pacino said, “Money makes your life easier. If you're lucky to have it, you're lucky.” However, when people think of money, they need to understand its real meanings and know how to have it properly. Money can be not only a faithful slave, but also a cruel boss. Let’s have a look here. As a faithful slave, money is extremely useful to provide for all of an individual’s or family’s needs. For example, it can help a patient to be hospitalized and to have a surgery right away instead of waiting for donations. Besides, money can be used to help the poor to overcome their hardships and enjoy life. On the other hand,…
