"A part of all you earn is yours to keep, if you cannot save money, the seed of greatness is not in you." - W. Clement Stone
In the book of proverbs, it is written..
"Go to the ant, you sluggard,consider her ways and be wise..."
We interpret this as over working and doing our very best in what we find to do not being lazy. But the question is, through all our labor, hard work and hustle, do we have anything to show for it? No! Why? Because we lack the discipline of Saving Money.
The fact remains that the ant works hard and gathers enough food but never eats up everything they gather today. They ALWAYS save some for the future. This means when you work hard without saving a part of your earnings for the future, you will have nothing to show for the amount of years you've worked nor the amount of labor/energy you've exerted. This is why many retired persons begin to beg and rely on their children after retirement. Plan your future today by saving part of your earnings because that's what the ants do.
Many people are daily, weekly, monthly and yearly victims of the Parkinson's Law. Have you heard of the Parkinson's Law? I will tell you. It states that "Expenses rise to meet income."
It means no matter how much you tend to earn, you tend to spend that much. But this only happens IF you permit it. There is never a good day to save money. There is never a good day where you will have more than enough to save. There is always something to do with money. This is why it is so important to stop giving the sick excuse of "it is not even enough for my needs! How then can I save?" and go ahead to save and invest a part of all you earn.
