Retirement is not the only reason why you should save money while you are still able to. You should also save money for emergency reasons such as health-related incidents. When you unexpectedly get sick and you get hospitalized, you will surely need money despite your inability to go to work at that moment to earn it. If you have an emergency savings, this unwanted occurrence will not be very difficult for you in the financial sense.

Moreover, you can also use your savings to become an entrepreneur. In case you decide to resign from your current job, you will have a source fund that you can use to start a business. You should start saving while you still can and allow yourself to have other options besides working for others.
