Money is Key!

"I don't care about money", "I don't need money", I am sure you have heard these phrases once or twice from people around you, or you may have said to yourself. Even if it sounds good saying it, the reality is that you genuinely care about money and lie to yourself.

We all know money can't buy happiness, but what it can buy is safety and security for both you and your loved ones. 

Even if you hate money, you have to admit that you won't be able to buy anything or live a healthy/good life, including food, shelter, good education, and healthcare.

You don't have to be Bill Gates or Elon Musk to pay for your needs, but you will need some money to keep yourself alive until you die.

Money is necessary to obtain quality goods and services you need to survive with, and it is crucial you learn personal finance because it is essential in life. 

Even if you make a ton of money, if you are not responsible, you will lose everything, and what I mean by this is you should build up a habit of saving and investing for the future so that when you are older/retired, you won't have to worry about expenses.

You should start saving money right now because there will be a time when you would need it, and you wouldn't want to have financial stress or lack of money.

If you invest wisely and save enough, you will reach financial independence, and you will be able to live the way you want- financial independence happens when you have sufficient money to live on for the rest of your life.

People profess not to care about money so much because society has labeled money as the "Root of all evil."

This statement can be accurate, but only when the individual is worldly and has an obsession with money which drives them to do immoral actions that will increase their pockets.

Money makes trading so much easier, and can you imagine if we still used trade by barter? That system was so frustrating and archaic, but with currencies, you can exchange goods and services for a certain amount, and the range of goods you can buy is unlimited.

Without money/currencies, if you wanted to find food, you would have to search for someone willing to exchange for a service you could provide and produce.

We all know money has value, and you can trade it anywhere and everywhere for whatever goods or services you desire. Because of this, the market increases liquidity, which refers to efficient assets that can be sold and purchased.

There are many benefits when we talk about money, and if I list all of them, we will never leave this place, but for now, let me say some.

The best asset for money is that it gives you freedom, and when you have enough money, you can take care of your needs and indulge in your hobbies. 

When you attain financial freedom, you will have enough financial resources and may not even work again, giving you time to enjoy your life and engage in activities you love.

When you have enough money, you will pursue any dream you have set to achieve.

Whether starting a business, traveling worldwide, or building your dream home, all these dreams can be accomplished when you have attained financial freedom.

You don't worry about having a roof over your head, working with an empty stomach, or seeing a doctor when you have enough money in your account. You may not be able to afford everything in the world, but you will be able to enjoy a stable, moderate life.

Money can't buy happiness, but if you look at what it could buy, freedom, power, and security, you will acquire what makes you happy.

It may have its downsides, but never hate or despise money; after all, you still use it daily.
