For this journal I thought of the aphorism, A penny saved is a penny earned. This is because saving money is a big deal to me since I have college coming up in my near future. I want to save lots of money for my future so I can have a great appartment and be able to afford everything in my life. College will be very expensive and I am worried I wont have enough money saved.
The penny saved is a penny earned aphorism was written by George Herbert and is very widely known to most people. I like the aphorism because it is easy to depict and understand. I like thinking that if I were to find a penny on the street and save it, after a long time I could have a significant amount of money and a lot of penny's found. I also think about how if it were bigger change than pennies I would have even more money. Although it is pretty self explanatory, A penny saved is a penny earned means if you find money somewhere in your pocket or on the ground, if you save it instead of spending it, you earned it because you chose to save it over spending it. I typically act this way and are smart about my decisions. If I choose to save my money, I remember that I can save up to get something that would be useful in my life and more effective instead of a burger from mcdonalds or something. I think that if I save three dollars that night and do that twenty times, I would have sixty dollars and be able to get a full tank of gas, take someone out to dinner, or even buy a new pair of shoes. I like being smart about my spendings and do even more when I think about them in this way. This aphorism has really played a significant role in my life.
