A grasshopper was dancing nearby it house on a fine Summer day. This happened almost 2 decades back. While the Grasshopper was enjoying its life to the fullest it saw an ant carrying an ear of corn to its home.
The grasshopper jumped in front of the ant and requested for a chat. But the ant told him "Dear Mr. Grasshopper the summer will end in a short time and thereafter winter will emerge," I am stocking the corns for the winter season. We will not be able to toil during the winter time, hence stocking the food for winter is highly essential. But the Grasshopper did not agree with the ant and told "there is still time for winter season," enjoy the present and put your worries aside, after all this is a very short life. The ant thought it is no use talking to the grasshopper and continued with its storage work.
After some months winter came, the ant which has stored enough food for the winter season did not have any reason to worry. But the grasshopper did worry as it began staving for food very badly. If grasshopper had taken the advice of the ant to save food for the near future it need not have starved this badly...
So dear friends please save money for the future without spending what ever you get today. I am not telling do not enjoy today, enjoy today as well as save for tomorrow. Prepare yourself for the days of necessity.
