Money is very powerful and how it affects our minds is different from each other but it definitely has a different effect on us. When I joined Instagram a few years ago and I saw how people are buying different mansions living large and how everybody was posting their achievements online it got me and I promise myself I will build with the little scrap I get. Ever since have been building and am still passionate about building more but the effect of money and seeing other people's achievements on social media have different effects on others.
We have those that have promised themselves that immediately they get hold of any money they just want to live big and sometimes people might have the plan of spending lavishly but what they have been feeding their minds has configured them in a way that anytime they have money they must go luxury first and investment later. In this process, they acquire so many liabilities and most times they can keep up with the pressure of spending.
Some of these people are making money based on opportunity and their source of income will not last forever Instead but instead of holding down the little they have gained with investment or a business they choose to live in another man's world. When are broke sometimes we have created a world of expectations for ourselves, how we want people to see us, what we want people to say about us, and we program our minds that we just want enjoyment and that's it.
Social media has created this illusion for many people and most people don't always snap out of it until it is too late until their pocket run dry, we must be careful of what we feed our mind because most times we don't know the effect is having on us until we find ourselves in some situations and we might not do well because we are loosing our head already.
