Mother can save like a pro..!!

Money was always an eye rising topic in my family we were not that back but still a hard earned is always next to the heart. Its was not a bad situation but still when the expenditure is more then the earning then it's a big problem in a middle class family.my father always say that todays saving is tomorrows income. He has got a point but if we cut the happiness just because of saving then what is the use of this money.
    My mother always hide some amount in her phone case or in an old box where no one would imagin and pretend  that she had no money to even by the gorcery but i know the reason behind her plan.she always use to save and after some good amount is saved she use to buy stuff for home like upgrading  old washing machine to new. Buying some bedsheets and all other likes
   But the turning point in my life was some years back when my father had follown sick and there was some problem in transfring money from bank then the money saved by my mother happend to be there and was used to pay the bills
   From then my father always come home on every 1st of the months handover 9000 rupees and say save it . You are good in saving and from then onwards i was also relaxed because when ever i ask money to my mother she never said i dont have or go and ask your dad.
