Do you believe that money can buy happiness? Maybe? Maybe not? It’s a popular saying, and it’s a debate that will last for a long time. Personally, I think it doesn’t hurt to have some right? If you are financially stable, it’s a feel good moment when you don’t have to worry too much about bills, taxes, rent, or anything really where spending is necessary. Because of this, one form of stress is being lifted. With money, you can buy gifts, presents, and afford to go on vacation, trips across the world to see new places. By having money, you can move on from the needs and onto the wants. Money won’t give you happiness directly, but it can certainly open a path towards it.
Because of how society is structured, I think it is crucial to have at the least basic financial skills. You don’t have to be a stock market trader or anything fancy like that, but knowing how to handle and spend is a great ability to have. If you aren’t at it already, consider this to be a goal in your life, as it can be quite rewarding.
Now this can be a lot easier said than done. We are all different. Some people may have tremendous amounts of self-control (in which I applaud them greatly) and know when to spend, while others might not, which is okay. I’m not an expert on this so I won’t give you any advice on how to manage personal finances, but if you can recognize a need to start, then that is a great leap forward in itself. The point of this post is to give encouragement to either start or continue doing good work. Like exercising and eating right, this is a habit that requires consistency, so pace yourself and slowly build.
Use The Internet as your tool. So many sites out there give great advice on saving money, building credit, investing, you name it! Start early, start simple, and it might just pay off in the future. If this is one of your goals, then I wholeheartedly say good luck! I believe it’s a great mindset to have.
