The essence of saving in a personal account should never be undermined or undervalued. Personal savings account is one which an individual chooses to save his money gradually and only him or her have an access to it. It is important to cultivate the habit of savings and not just to spend money lavishly. I know it is easier to spend money than saving it but the vitality of savings should be encouraged. The main essence of saving money is so you can always have an option to fall back on especially in times when you no longer have enough money.

There are different forms of savings which could be in public or private banks and even through apps and also some traditional saving method with the use of piggy banks. Savings too have a disadvantage especially on banks because of incessant deductions and no tangible interest. The essence of saving is not even because of the interest but it is more to have security over the future which could be in terms of; education, health insurance, shelter, donations, for retirement age and for other necessities. Savings should be an intentional act and even the least amount could go a long way in solving a problem.

The benefits of savings are tremendous, because saving is a habit that is cultivated and build over years, saving promotes discipline and helps in making sound financial decisions.

If you think you don't have to save out of that 5000 because it's too small then you'll find it very hard to save 100,000.

If you get impulsive when you have money then you definitely have problem with savings, some people will make sure they spend everything they got at a go, those are the ones that no matter how much they make they would always be broke before the month end, that's just how they are.

But of you're used to savings then you will have no problem saving your extra cash, only buy what's necessary and save the rest in the bank, you don't have to buy a new computer or a new phone or a new anything if the existing has a no faults whatsoever.

There are apps nowadays that are very helpful when it comes to saving, you'll just put your money in there and they will start generating interest for you, I won't mention them because I didn't try them either, but they really look promising.

It very essential for everyone to have a personal savings, just as we know the basic reasons for hold or saving money include for precautionary purposes, transactionary purposes and speculative purposes. When we say transactionary purpose we are taking about all the things that money can do for us on a daily basis. All the things we do with money in our day to day activities that can help us to keep our body and soul together.

And on precautionary purpose this focuses on those steps we take to avert a negative situation from taken place or should I say to prevent a negative thing from happening, so money is also saved for such purposes. This has to do with steps we take to ensure that we don't get in a financial crisis and start running around for help when a financial situation eventually arises. Somamy people do not take cognizant of this time of savings hence they are easily trapped and they spend their monies more carelessly with reckless abandon.

Then last we also save for speculative purpose, here we may decide to keep some money so that we will use them in the future to buy things that we think we be cheaper in future.
