Our parents and grandparents did, and so did the Minnesota farmer in 1850. His life depended on it. Yours may too. There may come a day when you need to take care of yourself and all you will have is what you have saved. It s not your employer s problem, it s not the government s problem, it s your problem.
Evolution seems to have taken a step backward with our generation in regards to saving.
Our generation, and you in particular if you re not one of the savers , can help change this trend. Make a plan, live within your means, and save for tomorrow. You will never regret it. Scott is a Certified Public Accountant with ten years experience. Reprinted with permission.
