Money Mindset Multiplies Money
Counting coins like a miser
“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.”
-Maya Angelou
When we are children, we have no real concept of money. We know that money is something Mum and Dad get as a salary for going to work every day. We know that money does not grow on trees, so sometimes we do not get everything that we would love to have like eating all the fast food and getting all the toys and video games we love. As children we also hear that “money makes the world go around”. Is there a connection between the rotation of the Earth, which somehow never seems to move, and money, those little bits of paper that every adult wants in the bank and in wallets and purses? Money is that precious commodity that everyone wants, a few people have some of it, while a few people have too much of it.
As teenagers, we know that earning money is serious business. If we want to get something, our parents inform us, that we need to do work to get a bit of pocket money. So grudgingly, teenagers are now compelled to do chores around the home or get a summer job to earn a bit of that currency. Everyone wants it, everyone needs it, some cling to it, like the old miser who sells stamps, or the other rich gentleman who gives money away to charity, or the other character, called the criminal in life, who will do anything to get his or her hands on somebody else’s money. There is nothing funny about having too much or too little money. It is funny money when a comedian makes money by just being funny on stage.
As adults, we know that money is the most important item to have in the world, apart from peace, happiness, love, health, and prosperity. Unfortunately, when we want to relax and take it easy, we learn very soon, that money does not grow on trees and that money has to be earned, and saved in order for us to get any luxuries or essentials in life. As adults, we later learn that money attracts money if you learn how to make your money grow. On the other hand, we also learn after some bitter lessons in life, that we need to be cautious with money. There are too many criminals waiting to make a fast buck. If you hear a great investment idea, that sounds too good to be true, then it is definitely a scam and you need to steer clear away from it.
Money is the most important item to have in life. Use your money well, for yourself, and your family. Develop a good money mindset for spending money on what is important in life. Save money for a rainy day. Invest money in sound investments and realize that money must be earned in an honest way to be truly enjoyed. A good money mindset will see you through a happy retirement and provide a comfortable existence for you and your family. Stop counting coins like a miser, and enjoy life with your friends, and family while developing a healthy money mindset in your life.
“It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.” - George Lorimer
