In January this year my good friend died suddenly leaving behind her young family. I have to say I have been hit pretty hard by the whole thing and at the moment Im feeling a bit confused.
My query is this: I have been wondering what is the point of saving or investing my money now and why not just live for the moment.
My partner and I cant have children, weve accepted this and decided its just the two of us for the long haul (fingers crossed) no plans to foster or adopt in case you're wondering. So I feel like I dont need to accumulate large sums of money to leave the cats home! My immediate family can look after themselves.
We have a good rainy day fund and our mortgage is small. So is there any other reason to save/invest for me???? Has anyone experienced this sort of feeling? Previous to this event I was always quite keen to save/invest.
