Saving and investing for the future is often thought of as an exercise to be done when you have lots of money. Many of you who have started work recently believe of it as a sacrifice of happiness in the present.
Financial advisors or elders in the family are quick to ask you to curb spending now for a better financial future. They may ask you to save money wherever possible. They will ask you to avoid spending on that coffee at your favourite cafe.
The grouse is that you enjoy a cuppa with your mates at the café. Some of you may love going out on biking trips to new places or travel to different cities. For you, these are small joys of life. The youth in you fights with the maturity needed to hold back impulsive spending and save. That creates a sense of resentment towards saving money and investing.
