Earned while still in college, saved it all to buy a bike,
As career started taking off, wasn't carried away, with each hike.
The habit of saving substantially, was ingrained since birth,
Bought the first car with saved money- for what its worth.
Took a loan in life just once- on first home to save some tax,
I pay 'all dues' on my credit card, never on this I am lax.
Service nearing retirement, but saving shouldn't end,
Whatever little I earn these days, to the egg nest I upend.
Save for your child's education, save for the rainy day,
When the storm comes, uninvited- you'll be left shattered - anyway.
Some save so they can invest and feel, the kicks of turning money to wealth,
I save to take care of medical emergencies, or fund my startup, still in stealth.
From the cradle to the grave, we keep saving stuff,
The insecurity is mostly in our mind, there is always enough.
