There was a day me and my Dad had a conversation, and on that day, we say stuff about finances, he was like letting me know how good it is for a person to be conserving and not spending everything at once.
And, he make illustrations about the people who are working monthly job, he was like letting me know that, those set of people can never go broke, or stay a month without getting their pay, because, definitely they have work for it.
But when it comes to me, what I told him was that, I do not so much like monthly pay, and if I was to be a worker by then, I will like my employer to package all my salary and pay me at once.
What I said didn’t sound nice to him , but I never forgot when he said that, “it is more better when the money do not come in bulk, but in a more reasonable amount, which can sustain us, and which will still come again some other times.
I thought maybe by having a bigger sum of money at my side was going to make me financial free, not knowing, the more bigger is the money, the more bigger the want will come checking on us 😃🤣
So, I understand why he said, “it is better we don’t get bulky money once and stay long without getting a penny, but we get little by little, as far as it can take care of our bills, and by so, we lived our life’s without worries.
Nevertheless, I was told that, a man can not be financially free, and this is because, he can never stop to desire for stuff on a daily basis, and those desires will continue to make him work for money, and also spent some of his money for the stuffs he wants.
So, when I heard of people saying they want to be financially free, I don’t just get it, but I do understand it that, we do not get the same perspectives on stuff’s, and it is normal.
My father would say that, “no matter the amount you have today, once you stop working, and begin to spent it, the money will finish quick, because nothing has been added again.
In that mathematics, you can see it as, an every day minus of the account, and no addition. The deal is, when the minus take place everyday, before we know the account will be empty, it is just as simple as that.
Personally, i do not think I can be financially free, because I am still buying thing’s on a daily basis, I am still feeding, and I am still subscribing data and call cards, I can’t even mention clothes, and going out with friends. So all these require money, and if I say that I want to be financially free, or believe that I am, it will just be me deceiving myself.
But when it comes to financial freedom, I do think of it, and how necessary it can be when we grow older, but in that vain, I think savings and investment is something we need to do, some people do this in the form of building renting apartments, establishing firms and all other stuffs, yet it doesn’t make them financially free, because at every stages of our life, we need money to buy food stuffs, clothes and as well, care for our love one’s.
