Savings

Really America?
How hard is it to save 10% of your income. If you make 3k a month that's only $300 and you're telling me that is too much to save? Too much to secure your future? Too much to put away for an emergency fund? Aren't you worth 10%?

I find it so hard to believe that people can't save that much. It's kind of ridiculous. Grow up. Everyone has something they can eliminate to save. You don't need to eat out. You don't need that morning coffee, ok maybe some of you do but it doesn't need to be Starbucks. You don't need to spend $24 to see a movie.
This is just something that bugs so much. I am glad that as part of our 3rd grade curriculum in social studies we talk about needs vs. wants and the importance of savings. Maybe we can raise a generation not as greedy and in great need of instant gratification as we have these days.

You not savers better turn on Suze Orman this Sunday and then get some financial advice.

Scary.
