How many times do we assume having a lot of money will solve our problems? This is the main reason many work like jackasses, no breaks and they feel very impressed. They fab themselves with encouraging words like 'I am not a lazy type'. You know, that impression that you wake up very early and sleep very late. Have you in the process checked the condition of your health. How many people die yearly due to stress related issues? You should do that research. In short, the current economy is proving there will be more death rate if hard work seems so interesting to you.
There is always a need for a mindset shift. What is your daily spending? What should also be your daily spending. There is what I can term 'the economy of peace'; living beyond anxiousness. Did you know that a high percentage of your daily spending is triggered by addiction? Addiction means you are already not in control. So it can rightly be said that a higher percentage of your daily spending is done out of of your true willingness. Someone still doubting he is a slave to no one. How come your debt pile keeps increasing?
Anyone whose life is patterned in the direction of addiction should know his main financial challenge is not opportunities. It will not solve the entire problem. Financial discipline is about keeping your emotions in check. Knowing the difference between need and want and prioritizing the former above the latter. What are you addicted to? That's what is eating up your finances. Some even become addicted to good health and they over spend unnecessarily.

I am not against good health, yet many miss the numbers, they spend so much on daily diets and eat to stupor. When your daily food demand runs out of control, you become very vulnerable. ALL your hard work will equate to 'food to stomach'. In an economy with high rise of food products, your next move will be to look for additional side hustle to meet up your daily calories and it continues on and on. Man's greatest addiction is food, if you can curb it, you already have a hedge.
Many become addicted to drugs, how much do they spend to satisfy themselves with smokes and hard pills. You may think if only they had more opportunities, at least they would have had savings. No, if they have more, they will definitely smoke more. At least I have seen such people within the environment. Any day they have Enough money be sure they will hit the bar early and return very late in the night. Many are spending out of slavery mentality, they've caged themselves with an unmannered pattern of life.
Haven't you heard or seen professionals who secured contract worth in millions. A life changer you would assume but in less than a year, their financial condition grows worse. They inhale as much coke as they desired and ended up even selling the little assets they have to satisfy such addiction. Someone one pointing me a house in which the owner sold for a penny just to satisfy his desires for hard drugs. I felt like meeting such a person to slap the hell out of him or perhaps maybe I should have been the fortunate buyer.

Many youths in my country complain of poor pay, the economy is not favorable, cost of living is high. All this are true yet they underscore the real fact, they are addicted to unnecessary daily spending. Keeping a girlfriend is becoming a norm. It is something that I ask myself, 'how did we get here?'. Immortality is leading many astray. Ok, the economy is bad, why then are you adding the pressure of keeping a girlfriend? Surprisingly, some keep more than one. They spend here and there, they become workaholics to satisfy futile relationships. What manner of addiction, a spell must be behind this.
Many times I meet my age grades with the economy complaints and just look away. Many of them are not even to my earning standards yet they spread a net of expenses beyond imagination. In a world of 'don't tell me how to live my life'; do well to face it without complaints or harken to instructions. Many times I walk away, I already know their problems before the conversation even starts. Give them an idea that will increase their monthly earnings and their lavished lifestyle also follows suit to balance up.
To conclude, let me add, we have to acknowledge what Iis if actually we want to experience peace in this short time we have to spend here. What are your addictions? Do well to tackle them and you will see your finances becoming healthy. There will be extra bucks to save for investment. This is not rocket science, he who overspends is vulnerable. wealth is grown, maybe you should prefer being addicted to positive investments that gives you all the needed spare time you will need to live a life of fulfilled purpose.
