This is a very sensitive issue to many and I believe most people who talks about this issue with friends, relatives and love ones, many will just keep quiet and will not comment much. Those people who discuss about, they actually compared their paycheck with each other and then very slowly, internal “competition” will happened. Many will try their best to beat the other in terms of paycheck amount. I myself hated this very much.
I am not saying money is everything but it is definitely part of wealth. Imagine, this very day right now, you are financial free and have no financial worries, would it change your life by a great extend? I am sure it would! Many people had set great goals year after year but nothing seems to have change much over the years, why? One of the most common reason is the comfort zone they are in right now. Things are ok, everything seems smooth and just one day, things gone wrong, very wrong and all hell break loose, money is always part of the reason, well relationship can be also part of the huge reason too. Only till the time when things happened, people starts to think more in depth and more into the future and planning for rainy days.
What is money anyway? Money is just some paper made from trees, nothing special. Human called those papers, money, then it is money and this papers can allow you to buy and do a lot of things in this world. These papers also include qualification papers like, “N” Level, “O” Level, Diploma, Degree, Masters and PhD. They are all papers but all these can allow you to survive in this world. Since you can’t change the world, change yourself and play in the game, that’s the only thing you can do.
In the 21st century, there is no such thing as “metal rice bowl” in a company. Any company can just terminated you when the economy is in bad shape and that’s is, you are done, if you have little or no savings, it’s going to be tough time for you for sure. I believe in 5 – 10 years to come, everyone of you on planet earth must have a side income, be it online or offline, if not it is very hard to survive in this world, where almost everything is going up in price and worse still inflation. You have to do something now, right now, to stay on track. Best if you can be at a stage, you really don’t have to worry about “paper” problems and live life like a king. It hard as hell but once you are there, you are so much better off than anyone else and it is that time, it’s your time to rest, a well deserved rest.
