Saving money gives you freedom (自由). If you have enough savings you may be able to give up your

job. I know a couple (夫妻) who saved up enough money that they were able to leave their jobs for a year,

and travel across the country. You could see the wonderful experiences they had because they were able

to enjoy that time together.

Saving money is improving your future life. It is important to realize that by saving money now you will

be able to do so many more things in your later years. You can retire early and spend time traveling around

the world. By saving money now, you wil be able to do as many things as you like and enjoy a good life.

Saving money wil bring you peace of mind. Every dolar that you have in the bank is a dolar, which stands

between you and disaster (灾难). People who have savings are not worried when a car breaks down, or

someone becomes sick. They know that they wil be okay if they lose a job, and it takes time to find a new

one.

Saving money sets an example for your children. By teaching your children to save money and plan for

the future, you are in control of (掌控) where you spend your money, and what you do with it. It may be

one of the most important ideas that you teach your children.
