21 Ways to Save Money- Why I wrote this Short eBook

Money can be a touchy subject, and coming from a country which changes currency every 5-6 years, you surely have to learn how to save money and when saving it how do you keep its value. Let me be honest, living in Zimbabwe is not the easiest thing to do, and saving money is a heroic thing when you can. So when I wrote this book there was so much going on I had to learn at that moment how to survive when you are not exactly earning millions, in USD that is. If you want to get a hold of the book you can get it at my Digital Corner Shop, just visit the link and you can buy it from there.

What is Money?

The question that got me to start saving was understanding what money was. What did I need it for and how would it help me? Of course it sounds easy to define, what is money but the truth is the more I did my own introspection I began to get quiet a number of definitions. Here I will just touch on three definitions for my layman self.

Money is a relationship enabler. You might not agree with me but for me I came to a position where I realized that without money certain relationships were not possible. Remember when someone sang my "Love don't cost a thing", well I figured I could not got to lunch, make a call, see people or even celebrate birthdays without money. So I figured money is a relationship enabler so if I am going to have relationships I would need to start saving money.

Money defines success. If you are dreaming of owning a house, a car, travelling to Victoria Falls, or owning different pieces of land then you need money. You cannot own success until you start having money. Sometimes saving might be the only way to get there. Very few people can define success without having used money to get to that pinnacle.

Money is food and health. I do not need to say much on this one but let's be honest how far will you get in this world if you cannot but food. Never mind things like water and electricity.
