I'm beginning to wonder if different countries of the world usually try to save some money .

What I'm trying to say is if they have a way of making sure that they have good amount of money that is saved somewhere for the purpose of emergency situations that could present .

From my current experience and knowledge right now, I am of the opinion that individual countries do not really have to worry about how much money they will be saving , because there will always be money available for anything they want to do , provided there individuals living in those countries .

The government already has different ways of generating revenue, and making sure that things are done in order , and so I feel it is a complete waste of resources to think about saving money again when there are already available resources to take care of everything that has to do with the country .

I believe that the government of every country should even focus much more on how they be able to generate some profits, by investing the amount that could have been saved into some things like real estate, that would continuously generate better profits for the government every year.

Let's start with the basics. What is saving? Saving, in the simplest terms, is not spending all of your income. There are a couple different ways that you can do this: you can use some of your income to purchase bonds or stocks, or you can deposit it into a savings account. When you save, you are purchasing assets—things like cars and houses—or investing in securities—like stocks and bonds—that will increase in value over time.

So how does this relate to countries? Countries also have incomes. They make money from taxes, tariffs, and other fees that they charge their citizens. This money goes towards paying for things like national defense and education. When countries save money, they're using their income to invest in projects like infrastructure improvements. This lets them make more money in the long term than they would have without making those investments.
