Absolutely! I feel the same myself! After my husband didn't get a job for almost three years, we struggled a lot. It worked out, however, and now we are building ourselves back up again. Saving money, if even a little amount each month, gives a special feeling of empowerment and joy - for instead of digging holes in the ground (in which you will have to work hard to fill later on) one makes piles and when buying something you don't have to work with debt long after the product itself is gone or used up.

So yes, I totally agree with you! I put away a little amount each month even though we have to work hard right now. But it feels wonderful, and I am really glad that I am doing it.
