Money has always been a doubled edged sword. It can relieve stress while causing it, can make people’s dreams come true while crushing others, and can strengthen relationships while also weakening them. Many people believe that money is the answer to their problems, and because of this mindset, they often have a difficult time in their personal lives. Relationships have come and gone due to arguments, and people who do not have enough money often become stressed and angry. This type of negativity can lead to an unhappy life in which the person is continuously thinking about money. The truth is, almost everybody has money problems, but not everybody has a negative outlook. The reason is because there are people who put themselves first rather than money. They would rather remain positive and experience life in their own way and worry about their bills later. They are not careless, they are hopeful. Some of you may think this is impossible for you to do, but that is not the case. It is a mindset that anybody can learn, and there are many ways to practice this way of thinking.
Do not be afraid to spend money if it aids in personal growth. Many people would rather save money than spend it on something educational, such as a dance course, learning guitar, or schooling. They do this because they are afraid of spending large amounts on education and/or new experiences, thinking that it is better to save for “a rainy day.” However, there is a problem with this sort of thinking. People do not fully mature unless they expand their horizons, take risks, open themselves to new experiences, and educate themselves. Goods and services applying to this growth can cost money. It is understandable as to why people are afraid to spend money, but the fear of financial loss is damaging to one’s own personal growth. People should not be afraid to spend their money on goods and services that will benefit their lives. We spend so much on random and useless things every day, so we should not be afraid to spend money on something educational/experiential.
This also applies to the next piece of advice, do not be stingy with money when it comes to loved ones. The people you care about are the ones who will have your back when times are tough. They will be there to help you, and though they may not say, they expect the same from you. When it comes to birthdays, holidays, and other family events, and you want to bring a gift, buy what they would like without the thought of “it’s too much money.” Nobody expects you to buy them a car, but small items that are meaningful, especially during important events, should not be overlooked because of the price tag. You will feel great when you give them their present and they love it. It is something no price tag should get in the way of. Sometimes it is hard to think this way, but remember the importance of family, friends, and personal decency.
The phrase “money isn’t everything,” is a phrase many people have heard over the years. Some people brush this off, thinking how better life would be if they had excess cash. Though many problems could be resolved through financial gain, the idea of total contentment with one’s life is not true. Money allows people to purchase goods and services, yes, but it cannot buy them emotional happiness. A human’s brain is wired to enjoy the company of others, primarily those closest to them, such as family and friends. They also enjoy the act of giving, which is why many wealthy individuals donate to different charities and causes. Ultimately, money should come second to your emotional happiness. Spending time with family, being generous, and helping others will give you more satisfaction than stressing over work and how much money is in the bank account. Every financial problem can be resolved, and you will find that there is more pain in losing people over money than there is stressing about money itself. Remember to take a break from the financial grind and decompress, be the person you always dreamed of being, and stay positive.
