I second that. I also come from the background where we were taught 'save for the rainy day'. I am single, no kids and no plan to marry. What will I do when I retire, or God forbids, what if one day I am not in the condition of working, thats when these savings come in handy.
If nothing like this happens, and I die with savings on my bank account, I would be more than happy that my family can have it.
Most people have little control over market/investment fluctuations. Investments should be viewed as relatively long term. What you buy for lunch is totally up to you and would largely depend on what you value. For me they are two different things with different purposes.
What I mean Bryant is if you think ocean park is a nice day out you can do it more than once a year and then it's pretty cheap because the price of a year pass is about the same as two day tickets. Kids love repetition so would be happy to go again and again.
Parents, not so much!
it's dooh-able.
