Since I always encountered the word "Money" on my everyday life especially because it has a direct connection to my course now, I decided to talked about my perception about it. I know that each of us wants money right? An enough money to sustain our daily livings. Honestly, anyone can have a money but not all of us are aware that money can also be the reason why we are being stressed sometimes. Someone said to me before that she think that she will be gonna be the happiest person if she have a lot of money in hands. But I want to contradict her because I do believe that even we have too much money if we can't handle it properly, basically it will not last for long.

Having money is a pleasure but some but trust me, it can also be hindrance for some. Having money can also turn you to becomes poor. I want to share to you my sentiments why having money has also a downfall.

1.If we only save it than investing it

I know that savings is a good trait especially because if there's emergency happened in the future. But make sure that you saves with a concrete plan on that money. My professor said that it's better to invest the money than only savings it on the coin bank or in the bank. Because bank only have a small percentage in return. Meaning to say, your money seems still sleeping on that bank account. There's actually a various type of investment that we can try if we want. But also make sure that you study and much aware on that kind of investment. DYOR before putting your money at risk cause if you don't do that your money will fly away to you.

2.Having money also encourage us to buy and shop more

I can't deny that I also do this before when I'm still not much aware of wise spending. But as I noticed, some people with extra money choose to spend it on the unnecessary things. The " it only cost cheaper price" and the impulse buying mentality can also be the reason behind it. I'm not against to those who give gifts and rewards to themselves because sometimes we really need to do that to motivate us to work harder. On the other side, we need to limit I because it can becomes a habit if we continuously doing that. Your mind seems poison you and said " Okay self, but more since you still have money. Spend,spend and buy". And tomorrow you will realize that you only use your money for short term happiness.

3.Sometimes we becomes Santa Claus on instant and also do our vices unlimited

Some people have a habit that if they have the money, they give and give without reserving something for himself. Giving and sharing is a positive attitude that we always want to acquire but also don't forget to save something for yourself because for sure you will gonna need money for the future. On the other hand, if we have money some will continue their vices. Some will go to the casino to test their luck on gambling. But can you really afford depending your hard earned money on the luck? Always remember that relax and unwind moments is different from vices.

If we really want to sustain our money with us, we should practice a healthy habit lifestyle because everything was begins with it. It's not only the goals that makes us rich but it is also our habits who worked on it. We should not let the money controls us but rather we should controlled our money. Also, don't close your door to limit yourself to stick on only one source of income, try to explore the other side of money. I'll end this article with the quotes of one of my favorite financial author ,Robert Kiyosaki " It's not how much money you earn,but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you and how many generations you keep it for". So be a wise saver and spender.

Another Downside of Money is when someone changed because of it. I mean, when it comes to his/her attitude. As for shopping thingy, I think it true, but if we are disciplined enough, we can think of using that money wisely though..

I tend to disagree a little bit on #2, and here's why. People who have money have already developed a strong sense of frugality. It's part of the reason that they HAVE money. That doesn't change just because you have more. It only intensifies. Sure, one with more means can be more apt to make certain kinds of purchases others may not be able to afford. But there's the key word.

"Afford."

A person with means can not only calculate the impact of the purchase, they can RECOUP it easily, and may even make the purchase through other means.

For example, I have been an investor for 30+ years, and have learned the ins and outs of the stock market. My business sense also understands the value of what we call "other people's money."

If I have money in investments, particularly the stock market, I can use various techniques and strategies to CREATE the funding I want or need for the purchase I want to make. For example, I can sell covered call options contracts on a stock I own, and receive a premium for the right of someone else to buy my shares. When I do these I set them up in a way that I will not actually have to sell any shares, thus I just get to keep the premium. I am using the other person's money who did not understand the nature of the contract not the direction of the stock as well as I do to get what I want.

On all other points, I agree with you wholly.

Number one for me is agreeable. Make money out of your money. The inflation keeps on rising. Better have a good plan investing.

Another downside of having too much money, the person will not ever learn how to budget properly. Because they have lots of money available to spend, they tend to not care really how much they have allocated to one thing over another.
