Why Young People Struggle Financially—And How to Fix It
Have you ever pictured your future? Have you thought about how you will provide for your children, support your aging parents, and sustain yourself in retirement?
Many young people today face serious financial struggles due to a lack of planning. Without good financial habits, you may find yourself trapped in a cycle of debt, regret, and hardship.
Why You Must Take Responsibility for Your Finances Now
1️⃣ Your Dreams and Goals Depend on Financial Stability
No matter what you want to achieve—starting a business, buying a home, or traveling the world—you need money. As King Solomon wisely said, "Money answers all things." (Ecclesiastes 10:19).
2️⃣ Financial Stability Prevents Regret
Imagine getting married and struggling to provide for your family. Your children are sent home from school due to unpaid fees, and your landlord threatens to evict you. You don’t want to live in regret—plan now.
3️⃣ You Will Need to Support Your Aging Parents
Just as your parents cared for you when you were young, the time will come when they will need your support. Will you be financially ready to help them?
4️⃣ You Must Prepare for Retirement
Old age will come. The money you save now can be used for investments, business, healthcare, or simply living a comfortable life after retirement. Will you be financially independent, or will you struggle?
