earning and spending


Earning money is as difficult as climbing the peak of Mt. Everest from its bosom. It takes time, effort, and a lot of sweat. To some people, earning money is investing time from 7 years old to the early 20s. After that, they may eventually acquire some amounts. To others, they transact into businesses investing an amount so that they can have more in months or years. Why it is so difficult to earn money? Why not just the Federal Reserve or the money making agencies in countries produce a lot of money so people don’t need to exhaust so much energy and time? Then, these agencies give the people ample amount to sustain a living for a lifetime. But with sound and logical reasons, they cannot. Even the principles of economics would negate the former idea.

Meanwhile, spending money is so easily done by people. Spend here, credit here, buy there, go there, get this, and grab that. Why is that so? Spending is fun and leisurely, more to the fact that it is addictive. Noticeably, once spending is done, it is hard to say ‘no more’ next time. Also, if money is not a fruit of blood and sweat, it is most likely easy to think and plan of how to spend it. Wage earners would somehow agree that when they were children it was easier to spend money given by their parents than to spend the money they work hard now.

Earning requires much time while spending is done in just a few days or months by many. Earning and spending money are extremely opposites.  

Notably, a good earner should also be a wise spender.  So what would you do if you had $1,000,000?
