I have never been against people that work hard because hard work takes us to places but hard work alone will not make you rich and sometimes you have to understand the system. The way the monetary system works is to make us average for the rest of our lives because the more we work the more taxes we are going to pay taxes and some people settle for this and never plan to invest or build for the future.
The main reason why investment is important for every human being is that as we grow older we can't always work as effectively again and things we normally do with ease before become harder gradually and that is why we need means or things that can shoulder some of this responsibility for us we grow old and that is why we need our money to work for us and not sit idle.
My friend was telling me today that he will apply for government work and live on his salary and his pension will cover his old age which I believe is a good plan but life happens and anything can happen to the plan and we have places like Africa where people's pension don't get paid. Things are also changing and everything is getting expensive constantly.
There is a freedom that comes with investment because most companies use us to work for them and pay us a penny because they know we are dependent on them but immediately we started investing there Is a change of mindset and we don't see things as consumer again we now know the importance of being the boss.
As we are working hard to stack up the money, we must never forget to put this money to work and let it generate extra income, and the more it grows the more we are relief and at the end of our life we will be doing intellectual work instead of managing or suffering under somebody.
