Primarily, saving money is meant to deal with the different needs that we need to give attention to. But it is also important that you need to reward ourselves from time to time for all the hard work you did in your job. But at the same time, there are some limitations to this because not all the time we need to reward ourselves like you can invest on that flat screen lcd tv you've always wanted ever since. Then you need to save up for it and that will be your reward for the 6 months or x number of months that you worked for. Other than that, you will still need to set aside some portion of your earnings to the other expenses that you need to take care of.

I admit that i usually get overwhelmed by a lot of things around me and end up splurging my money on stuffs I don't really need. Thank you for giving out very practical pointers I'm sure a lot of people would find useful and handy. If you would ask me to take a good look at what i have right now, i would surely see that a stupendous amount of the things I own wouldn't even last for more than a couple of years or they will pretty much have no use or value by then. I don't wanna live-up with that and be left with nothing but complete junk in the future. Grateful that I learned a lot! I promise I'll keep in mind what you wrote above and share it with my friends as well. Thank you! Great read!

With that, we need to learn also that not everything should be saved. Instead, we need to learn how to reward ourselves despite the heavy work we do everyday. We make studies of what we should buy in terms of what we need. For example, if you have a camera and it has 6Mp, and it's with you already for 4 years and of course you need to replace / upgrade it since it has decrease its value and of course there will be problems along the way like product problems like the lens are not focusing. If that's the case, then you should be replaced / upgrade but then again, do that if the camera shows you signs of replacing it, but if not and if it's still usable, then don't buy it. We buy and invest on things that we both want and need but we should also learn what our limits are.
