The session began with
the resource person giving two examples of housewives Rekha and Jaya. Rekha lived with her husband and two children.
Her husband was the sole earner member in the family. Rekha had a good habit to
save money in the bank regularly. Jaya lived with her husband and three
children. Her husband was a carpenter by profession and the sole earner member
of the family. Jaya on the contrary spends her entire income by the end of every
month.
It so happened that
one day both the families were affected from one unfortunate incident of
illness. Rekha's son suffered from Malaria and Jaya son was infected the hepatitis
virus. Both children were hospitalized. The cost of treatment was easily borne
by Rekha as she had savings however Jaya had to take a loan from her friends.
Using these examples various
questions were asked to the participants like ‘why save money?. The
participants actively responded with various reasons like its usage for the future,
major illness, daily expenses, marriage, boat repairs, education, purchase gold,
property etc.
The participants learnt
the importance of saving money. The money saved in a nationalized Bank attracts
a good interest and serves as a security. A person has access to its record and
learns to use money for essentials and save now for a secure future. Thereafter
the person can use the accumulated money for any emergency situation or for
building assets.
