Do You Have Money to Pay for Your Life?
When Money Decides Your Life
Stop for a second. . .
Look at your bank account. What do you feel?
That knot in your stomach?
That guilt when you buy something for yourself? Or maybe you’re one of those who pretends everything’s fine while inside you’re boiling with anxiety every time a new bill arrives.
Your salary comes in on the 30th, and by the 10th you’re already crunching numbers, as if they could magically multiply.
I’ve worked at a company for years and see the same pattern repeat month after month. Today you have money, tomorrow an unexpected expense comes along and there goes your peace of mind.
The car breaks down, your child gets sick, the computer stops working. Life happens, and with it come expenses you didn’t plan for. Even with a steady paycheck, financial security seems like an increasingly distant concept.
Are your money fears real or are they ghosts you’ve created? How many times have you said no to dinner with friends because you were saving for an emergency that never came?
Fear of the future steals your present while you accumulate resources for a “what if” that may never happen.
