The Holy 10 Percent - The Secret To Saving

Saving has always been a struggle for me. It's usually easy for one to spend money on things that's passing rather than considering the better choice of saving. It's easy to be mystified and obey the urge of buying a new, trendy pair of shoes, gadgets or have an extravagant night-out with friends. Unfortunately, having no savings so often leads to despair.

It's not using money to buy things for the reasons of impressing others the way to achieve happiness, or trying to bribe people to complement your ends, or any of the like. It's actually a different type of utilizing money. It's buying something that makes other people happy, which inherently reciprocates the joy to the buyer.

In my disk utility app, it showed a S.M.A.R.T. status warning that my hard disk is bound to fail and that I should backup my files and replace the hard drive as soon as possible. It was exactly like those times when...
