Money matters in life.
You cannot do without money. Your money matters to you. But money can often
create irrational behavior in rational people, resulting in harmful and even
painful consequences in their lives.
Examples of irrational
behavior in rational people are:
Money matters so much
to some people that they feel so contented and will not even ask for more, even
though they may rightly deserve it.
Money matters so much
to some people that they simply refuse ever to go into debt, blindly believing
in the virtue of being debt-free no matter what.
Money matters so much
to some people that they allow their greed to get better of their sound
financial judgment, resulting in bad investments.
Money matters so much
to some people that they do not let on about the family finances, such as
couples concealing bank accounts or credit card payments from each other.
The Obstacles to
Understanding Your Money Matters
You spend more than
you earn. You buy things you don’t need with the money you don’t have.
You think you need
more money. You save and save. Money has become security to you.
You want quick returns
and big payoffs for your money.
You go with the crowd
when it comes to investment and spending.
You lie about money,
because you measure yourself on the basis of money.
You refuse to talk
about money, because you are uncomfortable about it. Or you hate money because
it is the root of all evils.
Once you can free
yourself from the irrational behavior regarding money matters, you will
perceive how money really matters in your life such that you
will know how to sell yourself, how to invest wisely, and how to make more
money. You will be richer for life—in every way. At the end of
the day, your money matters.
Once you
understand how your money matters, you will look at money with
new perspectives and you will know how to invest and make your
money.
