Spending Article

I am a spender. It is really hard for me to save my money, I just have so many ideas to spend it on and I can't save it. Whether it is a candy bar, a new basketball, going to a movie, or getting DQ, I just can't save money. I would agree and disagree with the ideas presented in the article. I agree that people need to be more saving and less for the immediate spending satisfaction, but not all the time. Sometimes it's good to just go buy something and enjoy it. Not everything needs to be based for the future. However, I found the statistic on SAT results interesting. While I am a spender, if I were offered to have 100,000 dollars in four years and go to a college chosen for me, or go to a college of my choice, I would go to the college chosen for me and take the 100,000 dollars four years later. I think our generation is very into the here and now, including myself. I am not saving for college or for any future plans. When I have money, I spend it. For example, if I had 2,000 dollars that I raised to spend on a car or put towards an account for college benefit, I would buy the car. However, some of our generation is on the extreme of spending, whenever, where ever, with whoever on whatever. We are definitely a spending generation.
