You Should Say

When it was
Why you saved money
How much you saved
And explain how you felt about it

Answer

Earlier this year, I saved money for a new computer I wanted to buy. Because I've had my old computer for 3 years, it became quite slow, which was annoying. So, I decided to buy the brand-new MacBook Pro. As a university student, I didn't have much money, the computer was a big expense for me. Therefore, I had to be on a budget. This is what I did: I made a plan for how much I could spend in terms of meals. I spent no more than 3000 Toomans per day on my food for two months, and I didn't eat any snacks. Every time I went shopping, I only bought the basic necessities, like stationary and toothpaste. When my friends asked me out for parties, I would politely turn them down, because I know parties meant all my previous savings were in vain. I even kept a record of all my spending on a phone app, so I could better monitor it. Those two months seemed very long, but when I finally bought the MacBook, I felt it was worth the effort.

Part 3
What are the consequences of not saving money?
Answer
I cannot get what I want for good. For instance, if I fancy Isfahan for a long time, and I really want to see the famous sights there, such as Chehel-Sotoon and Polle-Khajou. I have to save money for my plane tickets and my accommodation, otherwise Isfahan would always remain a dream to me.
Do you agree with the idea that the more you save, the better life will be?
Answer
No, I don't think so. Saving more means enjoying less. I cannot go to the music concerts that fascinate me. I cannot have beautiful dresses which impress me and I cannot go on the walking tours which relax me. The best way is keeping both ends meet, seize the day and carpe diem.
What is the best way of saving money?
Answer
Among the many ways of saving money, I think the most effective way is to increase your income, because when you are making more money, you will have more money left by the end of the month even if you don't try very hard to save it. But of course, we have to work hard to get a promotion in the first place.
Why do some people like to save money?
Answer
There're different reasons for saving money. Some people think saving money is a virtue, while other people may be short of funds for something they want to purchase. There are also people who just feel more secure if they have saved up enough money in their bank account.
Do young Iranians like to save money?
Answer
I think it depends on their financial status. For people from rich families, they don't really have to save, and they spend a lot of money on expensive clothes, luxury bags or even fancy cars. But generally speaking, the majority of young people save money because they are not financially well-off at this stage of life.
