The dream of many is to live without thinking about money. Don't worry about getting enough of them. Do not deny yourself anything, staying in the confidence of a secure tomorrow. But is this possible?
Dream and reality
Yes, you can live and not think about money. But at a considerable cost.
The first way. Deliberately giving up most material goods is like Mahatma Gandhi. To feed on their household or alms, to enjoy every day and have exclusively spiritual guidelines in front of them. Are you ready for this?
Then the second way. Sit on the neck of someone richer. But you just need to really have something meaningful for the "sponsor" so that he wants to provide you with a carefree lifestyle.
Usually a person is irreplaceable only for his parents and children. And, I must say, a lot of people are exploiting it. They spend their earnings and then run to their parents to “borrow” money for food. But sooner or later the parents will grow old and die, so who will become the "reliable rear"? Children?
Naturally, such a path is unacceptable for a reasonable adult.
The rich pay too
Some believe that the money problem will be solved right away if they find a good job, win the lottery, or inherit. In fact, even if it does, the money problems will not end. They are just getting started.
It is a mistake to think that wealthy people live in peace. Yes, they don’t worry about what to eat and what to wear. But every day these people solve many issues related to the management of their money.
And there are three such questions:
- How to earn.
- How much to spend and how much to save.
- How to save and increase the deferred.
For an "ordinary" citizen, a jump in the dollar exchange rate means only that TV sets and smartphones will rise in price. And for a wealthy person, this can threaten the depreciation of ruble assets by millions. The rich should always think about how best to invest in order not to be poor.
Therefore, not thinking about money is the surest path to poverty. But we must learn to think correctly. Not "there is not enough money for anything!", But "how can I better dispose of what I have?" And start saving, investing in understandable instruments (at least bank deposits), creating the foundation for a wealthy life.
And the first thing to do is to give up shopping for the sake of emotions alone.
Don't get hung up on money
A person is built like this: he works on something - he gets the result, and with it emotions. The result of work is good - emotions are also positive.
In modern society, money has also been included in this chain. A person works, gets money, buys a thing or a service - and rejoices at the purchase.
Therefore, many people spend money on little things for fun. I wanted to - I bought a chocolate / iPhone / fur coat - I got joy. And it begins to seem that happiness is in money. But soon the joy of owning a thing evaporates, and the money is gone.
Learn to find happiness in areas that do not require a lot of spending. Go in for accessible sports, socialize, find a new hobby. Don't be afraid to change your job for one that you really enjoy. Then the thoughts of money as a source of joy will recede.
