Why Money Problems Are Rarely Just About Money.

Why Money Problems Are Rarely Just About Money. The problem with people today is that they use money as a stick to measure their worth against others rather than as a tool. When we compete with others for material things like cars, houses, and lifestyle, we never really win. This kind of competition takes away our peace of mind and never let us win against others, as there is always someone who achieves more than us. Money, when used the right way, becomes an asset; used the wrong way, it turns into a liability. Societal pressure often worsens our money problems because we are constantly taught that material possessions and status matter more than discipline and utility. In reality, there are only two ways we spend money: 1. To Build Status. 2. For Utility. Spending money to build status often means faking an identity. It goes against financial discipline because maintaining status requires continuous spending on things that add little real value. In trying to protect the status you ha...

                         Why We Need to Teach our Children the Value of Money and Saving. As children, we were never taught how to manage money. In school, we learned mathematics, science, and literature, but nothing about financial discipline. When we started earning, many of us only knew how to spend on daily needs and we indulged ourselves in luxuries – without understanding saving, investments, or long-term planning. The lack of financial awareness comes with a serious consequence. Many young professionals find themselves trapped in debt cycles, living paycheck to paycheck. This situation has been exacerbated by the rise of easy EMI, with which we buy gadgets, vehicles, and other luxuries that our salary cannot truly afford. Also, we live in a society where we grow up watching others and following suit. The neighbor buys a new car; and we feel the pressure to match it.  When a colleague upgrades to the latest ...

Building Assets, not Liabilities.

  The Biggest Asset is your Children. I have come to a realization I now firmly believe: The biggest asset a person can ever own isn’t land, property, or a bank balance – it’s their children. We spend our lives working hard, building wealth, buying properties, saving for the future for our children for their better future. But here’s the catch: If we don’t invest in raising them with financial sense, moral education and emotional resilience – they could end up destroying everything we’ve built. It’s tough to say, but it’s true. No matter how big the inheritance, an unprepared mind can waste it all. But a well – raised child will not only preserve but they’ll multiply it. So, we shouldn’t only work hard for our children – we should also work on them.                                     ...
