RE: Money is life

in #money7 years ago

There is a saying - "For the love of money is the root of all evil". It is preceded by the phrase - "But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content."

Regardless of your particular philosophy or religion, there is value in those two phrases. It talks about where importance lies. Food and clothing are basic needs. If you had enough to eat, and clothing to wear and you are healthy - then you can start focusing on your next level of needs ... safety needs and social needs.

I recognize you have a desperation which I cannot relate to. This is because my parents and grandparents were reasonably successful people. They were not "rich" but they were educated and used this education to help them excel in their jobs (farmers). They modelled successful behaviour. When I became an adult, they provided me with a road map... not necessarily to be rich but to have a stable income. The formula is straight forward. Buy a cow, milk a cow. Cow has a calf. Milk two cows. Cows have calves. Milk four cows etc.

Another problem is that sometimes you run so hard, you get nowhere (you should make haste slowly). At one point in my life I was working three jobs. I had 3 or 4 vehicles, a large house but I wasn't investing in the right things in my life. Just when I had saved up money to put into investment, my ex-wife would overspend on holiday gifts and would hand me the bill. This isn't bragging nor asking for sympathy - I attempting to demonstrate that sometimes you need to ask the right question not get the right answer to the wrong question. You should ask the question "How do I become rich?" but instead as "How do I become happy?".

As I started to say you need to look at people who are successful - and do what they do ... again and again and again.
Here is a video of a person who has found a formula on being a farmer ... in a city.
