I kept thinking about how i’ll make this post very clear and direct because I am not a good story teller. However I need to tell this short story because it might just help someone start saving.

My savings saved me some times back in march. It wasn’t long I started saving for the year. That’s to say it wasn’t much however it stopped me from going into debt after just clearing a long pending debt. Which in my next post I will tell you how I cleared the debt.

Before going any further, what do you understand as a savings?

What does saving money means?

To me a savings is money you keep away that won’t be spent any time soon. It keeps accumulating over time. You get a savings through constant saving. Without making it a habit to keep money away weekly or monthly depending on when your paycheck comes, it’s impossible to have a savings.

Before telling you exactly how my savings saved me I’ll tell you how to save. The truth is the aim of this post is to encourage someone out there to start keeping some few bucks away.

This is how my savings saved me

We are finally here, where I will tell you how my piggy bank saved me. Heck no it wasn’t some huge sum of money in my bank account that saved me. It was some little amount of money in my piggy bank.

Before I continue with the gist, purchase a piggy bank right now. In case you don’t know, notes also can go into it. Forget the pictures always showing coins going into it.

So let’s go on….I had just cleared a long pending debt in February and I became debt free. Yes it felt amazing. Then BOOM! something came up and I had no money to solve the problem. It was a due payment I had forgotten about since I was so busy trying to clear my debts.

My mind started thinking of where I could get a debt. So typical of me. The saying of “once a debtor always a debtor” could refer to me at that moment. Then the idea bulb came up in my head. I remembered I had a piggy bank. However, I was not willing to break it as it was a saving plan for a whole year. The year wasn’t far gone and I had only started putting little money into it. On another thought I wasn’t ready to go into debts again.

I broke the bank and it was exactly the amount I needed to settle the bill. A matter of fact some change was left for me to spend for the week.

No one told me what to do, I went and bought another bank.

And that was how my piggy bank saved me.

Your savings can save you from going into debt too. All you have to do is to start.
