“Enjoy Money or Save”

Is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or is it better to save your money for some time in the future? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
--------------------------------------------------

It is always better to enjoy money when it is available to you. Whatever balance money you have after fulfilling your basic needs and enjoyment can be kept aside as saving for contingencies. Many people earn enormous amount of money and don’t at all spend for their own entertainment and amusement those people are misers and do self neglect.

Every one born is bound to die one day. God gives human life to eat drink and be merry and to enjoy the life to fullest. As the time goes by one becomes old and approaches toward an end. After the end there is no chance to enjoy. By not enjoying during the life span one does gross injustice to him or her.

I came across an article by an Indian gentleman from Gujarat. The article was about a huge amount of money and gold saved by his father in addition to the money earned and saved by him over a period of several years. As the article described, both father and son never enjoyed their money. They were busy providing money for their younger generation and towards contingencies. The bank in which they had account went into moratorium and they lost more than 50% of the money. A big quantum from the balance 50 % was lost in two consecutive natural calamities, those were floods followed by an earthquake. In a way the writer has stressed upon readers to enjoy their money earn to the fullest.

In conclusion, one most enjoy money to the fullest. Saving can be done for contingencies but not at the cost of comforts. Sacrificing and saving is not a saving at all.
