If you’re not careful, social Media will make you believe nothing is working in your life. Gone are the days when you could only be pressured when you were in an environment you didn’t belong in. For example, if you are a broke man and you move to an urban area, you’ll be pressured to have things that people living there have. This can either motivate you or break you, but things have changed over the years because of social media.
Now you don’t have to move anywhere before you get pressured and everything you need is right before you. With the help of the phone and the Internet you are constantly pressured because it’s always in your timeline that some people are doing better than you and the real truth is that nobody is posting their failure, also nobody is posting the other side of the truth. When you see someonewho has a Ferrari or living in a penthouse first thing that comes to your mind is that guy must be fully loaded, but the truth is that same guy might be drowning in debt, but you won’t know because Social Media, even in real life, we not tell you the truth.
Pressure everywhere
Gone are those days when it was very hard for you to feel pressured, but it is almost impossible now, even when you are trying to build your savings and trying to do better for yourself it becomes very hard because we now have the mentality that somebody have to keep spending to know that they are rich. This is the mentality some people follow to buy cars, living large without having any real savings in their account because spending their money and this also makes them feel important in society.
Saving money can be boring. You have nobody to celebrate you because you’re not buying, you’re not showing people that you have the money, people don’t know anything about you, people don’t have anything to congratulate you for most time, and people look down on you especially if you have been frugal, but that is the beauty. This also gives you peace of mind that you won’t go broke and knowing that you are financially secure, and worst comes to worst you are financially safe in any economy.
Wealth is the money you don’t spend
most people buy luxury things at the expense of their future, They’re trying to impress others but Wealth is the money you don’t spend and the investment you don’t touch that is growing every day, even though people might not know about this, and you might look as if nothing is not going on with your life. People may not have reasons to congratulate you that something good is already happening in your life and if you can stick to that you will experience real wealth with real stability and not drown in debt or have the fear of how tomorrow is going to be.
Thanks for your time.
