Savings helps to provide financial support and security. Sorry about the goods that were stolen and thank God you have been saving, not knowing something like this would happen. No one ever prepares for unexpected events but preparing something ahead like saving will save one because at that moment, you might not see help from people and even if you do, it might not be enough to do things you want to do, but when you have money set aside in your savings, it gives you that assurance and control over your money.
I hope God help you recover all that was stolen. Thanks for your opinion and your story too.
You are right though, who would have helped with everything one is passing through in this country.
People are really struggling and it's been all man to himself, sometimes last week when I needed to get my mum food stuff and drugs then I wondered, if I had not been saving, who would I had run to for help.
It's always good to save, it gives you some sense of entitlement as you don't need begging and explaining yourself to people before they can borrow or gift you cash.
