Before we start, ponder your thoughts on these questions:
What is money?
How important is money in your life?
How many of your problems can be solved by money?
Do you have money management rules in your life?
How much money do you need right now?
We live in a time when we are given currency wherever we go; normally and traditionally, it is money. Before you can go from here to there, you need transportation fees, or if you have your own means, you still have to pay for fuel. Food comes from markets that would require money to acquire. Even the basics, like water, which is crucial for survival, play under the rule of money. Everything seems to have a value and we are left with air, at least, to breathe in the frustrations.
Not only that, people come with different circumstances. There are families who have more children than they can handle, and budget cuts are sometimes unavoidable. There are even situations of solo parents aiding their children alone without the financial support of their partner, which could really add to the level of difficulty in life.
Every time we earn, we pay taxes. We pay taxes on a portion of our earned money. The cycle continues and the irreversible bin of life with the fuel of money continues.
One way or another, money plays an important role in our lives. We use money to acquire the things we need, like food, shelter, and even sometimes healthcare. That is why most people can go miles for the sake of having money, because who doesn’t want to be rich? Everyone wants to be rich, or preferably financially free. Getting up every day and doing the things you want, travelling to places and eating whatever you want.
But take a moment to breathe and get a bill near you, whatever the value. Look at it. It is a paper. A paper that has been dominating through an agreed value that is not even dependent on gold anymore. Now close your eyes and really let this statement sink in your mind:
Money is the means. A medium to buy the things I desire. Money is not the goal; the things we can buy with money are.
Wherever you look, inflation is soaring so high it has almost touched the clouds. These financial literacy tips that I will list are just a few things that you should do and that you can do today! The point of this article is to heighten your awareness. Awareness is the key to progress. Where we are in a tight situation, be aware that once this has passed, the point of survival is done.
