When i thought about saving money in my early teens, i thought saving was this boring thing that made life feel dull. Why would i save money when having fun with the money is also an option? Over time, i realized it’s not about having fun or being boring, but more about survival. saving money isn’t about being discipline enough, because it goes against your will to save and that is not being discipline that is forcing yourself to do it. In this blog i’ll tell you how to shift your mindset about money and how you can start saving.
The Mindset Shift
Alright, paycheck hits your bank account and your looking at it with joy, so why do you feel this joy? i’ll tell you why, It’s because you think of all the good things you can do with your money. when you think about what you can buy, what happens is that you feel wealthy in your mind and that needs to manifest in reality. without a second thought we act on an impulse to buy things to make us feel wealthy and that feeling is what keeps most people broke.
While most of us don’t really have that much to save. Feeling broke sucks and thats why we have created a lifestyle to suit our income to look wealthy, but thats only on the surface, if we dive deeper we find that many have almost nothing left to save because of the appearance to look wealthy. We as humans have made society in a way, that being broke is being less valueble or less worth as a human. Everyone wants to jump on the train to feel united and succesful, but that is the psychological trap laid for us to keep us broke to make us think more short-term and distract our thoughts to focus on the future
