The Money Wonders !

The Money Wonders !

Money has always made me wonder for various reason . To share my financial ventures further , I will

try to explain what I mean . I found that making and saving money is hard. Harder still is knowing what to do with the saved money ! If you find that funny or strange , let me explain . I started with earnings where it was always not enough . My simple good living always found me short of this most important stuff. Finally , when I realised that as a wage earner I am always going to be struggling in this modern world of inflation ! As a wage earner , I was not getting richer . I was actually getting poorer ! I will tell you why , although , I feel you all know better than I knew then ! 

If my pay went up by 4 % per year , the rate of inflation plus other increases went up maybe 8- 10 % !

I soon realise that I was getting poorer and may start to actually sink !

I am no financial expert . I am just a dedicated medical doctor ! As dedicated as I am , I also have a family to feed and provide for ! I can tell you from my experience that in that sort of situation , everything gets compromised ! I found myself thinking of money most of the time !! That's was real bad! I started to see simple people who had hardly any education or just worked as hawkers or petty traders and realised that they were better off materially than I was !

Being a psychiatrist /psychological medicine doctor , I actually tried to convince my good self that I was this or that and all the noble life stuff ! It was not working because the reality was too real and in the face ! I still remember my son , who was just 5 years or younger , when he picked a big bar of chocolate . I just felt that the price was too much . I quickly graped a box of small chocolates and convinces him that he was getting so many more instead of just one big one !! Can you beat that for my psychological training ! When I saw that , I knew that my situation was getting desperate . 

That was when I decided that I had to get out of this trap ! A wage earning trap . I just got up one morning and decided that it was time to move on !

Walked away to start earning my own money . That's another story for another day.

From a medical doctor who only knew how to practice medicine , I jumped into the real world to be part doctor and part businessman ! The part doctor was not a problem , but being a businessman was a whole new game . I had no idea what a liability or assert meant!!

Yes, you can and are allowed to laugh ! I just never saw money as an issue until .

Well, it did not take me long to start learning about this magical thing called money .

I learnt fast and started to see the wonders of making money. 

Then I started to realise that making money was hard and harder still was what to do with the money !

Money has a strange way of behaving ! It cannot sit still ! It is full of energy . It likes to wander  away if we are not careful . It has a funny way to change our behaviour too ! 

That is when I started to study the amazing and strange properties of money .

Money needs to be invested . Money needs to grow . Money is actually an energy entity that we have to understand before it controls us or gets us into another trap ! From the fry pan to the fire !

Having a relationship with money is very interesting . 

I  will take a break as it can be pretty emotional talking or sharing my experience with money .

Will continue . Thank you . Amar.
