If You Plan To Remain Short in Cash Forever, I Want To Applaud You for Consistently Doing This Tradition.

Sometimes consistency can be damaging to people.

I was having my usual morning coffee by (the window of) my favorite convenience store.

When I look around outside, people are hurrying their way to get to their office seats. Some faces looked worried, and others look they could no longer stand the workplace toxicity.

One thing is for sure if these people had all the money in the world — most of them would stop doing what they do.

The reason you are working — is you need money to live and pay the bills — all of us do. As I noted the faces I see every morning — it was evident that some hated their job — but (show) up for the money.

Money has been a lifelong topic for generations.

People find themselves running out of it. And when they do — it either affects their mental health

In worst cases, if they cannot handle it — it leads to death

So what keeps people remaining anxious and feeling short of money?

It is what I notice based on other stories and personal experiences.

You love to get involved in a commitment.

Commitments can be good. Sometimes they can manipulate and destroy you.

If you feel lacking, you get into debt at once without thinking. That advertisement entices you to spend money on their goods.

An emergency occurred — and you need to spare money while the salary pay date is still ahead of you.

Every time you face instances that involve money

You surrender your credit card or take a loan to satisfy it immediately.

Do not fall for the debt cycle. If it is not an emergency — never oblige yourself if you do not have the cash to spare

They let money take the wheel.

Most people do not take charge of their finances.

You got into the habit of waiting for that paycheck — your approach has always been passive.

If you lack it — the easiest solution is to get into debt. You became lazy and comfortable instead of getting yourself in a lifelong process of learning financial education.

Being in the driver(s) seat allows you to surpass monetary hardships.

You only live once

This motto applies to the right timing and people.

It does not fit all. I had friends in my network borrowing money for that Jordan shoes or beach vacation.

In the back of my head, I was asking myself — Is this guy even planning about his future?

I am not being arrogant here — but recklessly spending money on stuff if you do not have it will get you in deep trouble — if you do not manage it.

It is the reason why delayed gratification exists.

You can defer it now while enjoying it later without (the worry) of drowning in debt.

There is only one way.

I was guilty of this mental frame before.

To have more money, aim for the next ladder in the company. Following this principle, your entire life will be a waste.

Not only do you depend on other people to grant you that career promotion. You let the employer suck you for surrendering most of your time and effort.

Many executives I coached were testimonials to these truths.

They experience enjoying life when they are old — after consuming most of their life inside the board room.

There are many ways towards wealth. It is important to start one — and once validated, grow it.
