Saving money gives you freedom. If you have enough savings you may be able to give up your job. I know a couple (夫妻) who saved up   1  money that they were able to leave their   2  for a year, and travel across the country. You could see the wonderful experiences they had   3 they were able to enjoy that time together.

Saving money is improving your   4  life. It is important to realize that   5  saving money now you will be able to do so many more things in your later years. You can retire early and spend time   6  around the world. By saving money now, you will be able to do as   7  things as you like and enjoy a good life.

Saving money will bring you peace of mind. Every dollar that you have in the bank is a dollar, which stands between you and disaster. People who have savings are not   8  when a car breaks down, or someone becomes sick. They know that they will be okay if they lose a job, and it takes time to find a new   9 .

Saving money sets an example for your children. By teaching your children to save money and plan for the future, you are in control of where you spend your money, and what you do   10  it. It may be one of the most important ideas that you teach your children.
