Money Life appears to be a never ending running race most of the times. We get the feeling that despite running the race in a tireless manner, we never seem to have a penny in our wallet whenever we open it. We either live on credit or tend to give away our desires in a dejected manner. We seem to be doing everything right when it comes to money and yet our wallet does not act as a proof for the same. Here are some crucial reasons why we don’t have money.
Sticking to the comfort zone 1.
We all feel safe at our mummy’s lap. This is good as long as your love for your mummy does not stop you from grabbing the opportunities available in far away destinations. As long as we remain a couch potato under the protective wings of our parents, we never explore the golden opportunities outside our doors.
Lack of real knowledge about economY 2.
Economy in the local man’s language remains the balancing of household income and expenses. This illiteracy makes people comfortably revolve around household expenses and savings year over year. Right from
a young age, people must be exposed to the real economy in the world outside the four walls. This will make people more pragmatic in terms of money and accumulating the same
Blocked by budgeting mindset 3.
Budgeting is good as long as it acts as the beginning for planned activities. When we just keep budgeting, we do budgeting alone and nothing else to earn money. It is true that ‘A penny saved in a penny earned’. But then it is just a penny and will remain one unless it is invested in a prudent manner.
Depending on economic miracles 4.
Never think too high about politics or societal scenario. Societal economics is in no way
going to lift you up as an individual. You have to try to pull yourself up without depending on any external force outside your control.
Stop feeling apathetic about yourself 5.
Irrespective of where we stand financially, it is prudent to ascertain our situation in a periodical manner. Even if you don’t have a penny in your wallet, don’t give up. Just assess where you stand financially and what you can do about the same every now and then. If you don’t care for your financial situation, money will not care about entering in to your wallet. 6.
ACCEPTING THE RESPONSIBILITY Never feel bad about doing any legitimate job that can fetch you the money you want. No job is bad unless it means killing someone physically or
cheating others. Try your hands even on jobs that others are unwilling to take up. For all you know, that is where the money is lying in huge lumps.
Don’t commit financial suicide 7.
Get out of the mindset of comparing your financial situations with that of others whose situations are worse than yours. This means you are comfortably justifying your financial situation doing nothing really meaningful to get out of the same. Draw inspiration from people who are financially better off than you. Think honestly what took them there. Work towards the same.
Never feel happy with your working schedule 8.
We are not asking to kill yourself but never get satisfied when you work between nine and five for five days a week. Having cash in hand all the time requires you to work all the time. It may be mental or physical. But work. It may be true that money is not everything and there is more to life than money. However, remember that in reality, money plays a significant role deciding the quality of the life we live.
