I agree with those who holds this position, however, I believe there is one thing harder than saving money, especially for student – Investing money and time today, in order to save in the future. Examples for that are going to college and university, Networking with your colleagues, creating a meaningful social life and buying insurance like health insurance or a home warranty.
It is not common to find students that calculate every step thinking about the future, and I am thankful this is situation. However, when taking some decisions in life, we must think of future consequences. If not, we will find ourselves wasting money instead of saving it.
In some cases, when taking an important decision, we automatically think about the future. However, in some cases we do not, and it will make us spend more money in time in the future. Here are some example:
