Money is said to be the root of a successful missionary, and this same money is said to be the root of all kinds of evil. It is also said that money is a form of power. Some will say money is not everything, and it’s not happiness. But I will say money is a factor of happiness and can go a long way in getting you anything, if not everything.
Money can be the best and your very best visitor, but if you don’t get a good hold of it, then it has already found its way to someone else who truly knows its value. So I can say money is temporary. It’s kinda selective and stays longer if you know what it takes to hold it.
Money Discipline
There are a lot of ways to discipline oneself about money. Some result in savings, some think investment is the best choice to make while some just want their money working for them. All of those systems truly need discipline.
I have saved money countless times, and I realized that saving is not for the long term, but rather for a short duration. If you should oversave your money, then you are at risk of loss to inflation in the end. But a quick one will get you to escape inflation.
I only get to save when I am in need of money somewhat sooner. However, if I have some money that I feel I should set aside for the future, then I won’t be saving it; I will rather be investing it. This way, I will get to put the money into use and have it as an asset that will help me fight against any form of inflation or deflation that might occur in the economy.
Lastly, when I get enough money in abundance beyond investing, then I will surely have that money work for me. Making money work for me could come in different ways, depending on how far you can go in handling it. Diversifying my portfolio is one way I get to make this happen, buying shares and stocks, getting into some other reputable projects that will get me some payback daily and a lot more.
Money is so important, but if not handled well then it can actually be the first thing to disappear out of one’s life and become a part of history.
