All people dream of living in prosperity and wealth. However, not many people know whether the money will bring them happiness, or exactly what amount should be on the account in order to feel happy. You will be surprised, but there are many prejudices that make us feel miserable. And not so much it depends on us. They just inspire us. Like, you earn ten thousand rubles, can you be happy? It turns out you can, depending on what your values are. And you can earn several times more if you get rid of stereotypes.
Wealth is relative
After graduation, you got a job in a company that promised you great prospects. But you got a minimum, because you did not have experience. Looking at your colleagues, you thought: “Yes, if they paid me so much, then I would be able to relax abroad, do charity work and save my savings.” And now you have grown to a specialist of the same level and began to receive the same. What changed? You are still sure that you do not reach the bar. But there is no bar, you yourself came up with it. In fact, you just got involved in the pursuit of money: they say, the more the better. In fact, you have become a hostage to money and do not realize how much money you need for a comfortable life.
We all have a money story
You know, my grandparents were not rich people. They just had a garden, livestock. They received money from the sale of vegetables, fruits, milk, etc. And you know what? They were absolutely happy. They did not need money, because they already had a lot of positive emotions. At least from the fact that they enjoyed the independent cultivation of vegetables and fruits. From the fact that they had regular customers who were waiting for the harvest. From grateful customers who wished them prosperity. You can’t buy this for any money.
What is your money story? Why do you need them? Just see the big numbers? Then you are unlikely to feel happy. Now people pay for emotions, that is, they are of the opinion that money gives freedom and helps diversify leisure activities. So, in order to feel happy, you need to earn so much to buy positive emotions (travel, hiking, visiting a water park, etc.).
Endless chase
This creates a very sad situation, because you constantly feel flawed. That is, you think: “If I received ten thousand rubles more, then I would be able to do this and that. But I don’t have them. ” And then you have a salary increase of the same ten thousand, but you still feel unsatisfied. Why it happens? The thing is that you are programming yourself for negativity, arguing that you do not have what you get little, etc. A person with an inferiority complex cannot be successful. Even if you have high incomes, you will still think that you do not reach the bar. And the bar will always increase with you, because you are used to comparing yourself with others.
What to do and how to get rid of prejudice and stereotypes? It's simple: you need to change your mindset. This is not an easy task. It will take time to adopt a new way. However, if you want to break out of the financial trap, you need to take action. How to do this, experts will tell. Here are some tips to help you achieve material well-being, to feel happy and satisfied.
Look at money like water
Why do you need money? Many of you will say that money gives freedom. And there is. Money is just a tool, a means to an end, in order to feel independent. If you save them and not spend, then stagnation of energy will occur. That is, you are depriving yourself of the opportunity to enjoy life. Ask yourself: why do you keep them? Is the value in these pieces of paper? The value is that you can convert money into experience. It is finances that give you the opportunity to experience independence, live to the fullest.
Do charity work
Scientists conducted research, which revealed that rich people feel miserable and experience more stress. Why it happens? Maybe they are hypocrites? In fact, it is. When a person has a fortune that he spends on himself, sooner or later, unconscious remorse arises. Just because out of the corner of her ear she hears the conditions in which others live. The rich man thinks which next sports car to buy, and the poor thinks about how much money he would buy bread for.
Conclusion: do charity work, even if you don’t earn too much. This activity will give you a feeling of freedom, independence, satisfaction. It's just that the fact is that when we are able to make a choice, to help or not, we already feel happy. When a person does not have such an opportunity and only relies on outside help, then he feels depressed.
Pay for what you get
This is the easiest way to save, which you do not even feel much. For example, you pay for cable TV and you can watch five hundred channels, and you turn on the TV yourself once a week, because you work all week. Question: why and for what you pay?
In the same way you can monitor all services. Beeps on your mobile? Subscribe to a news site? Buying bonuses in a computer game? Do you really need this? If not, turn off all of these services. Pay only for what you use and what you enjoy.
