‘ Rich’ i can say without an iota of doubt that this word brings abundance happiness to most in the world. However not everyone is destined to enjoy its company. A very few have what it takes to reach the top. However there are people who succeed in appearing rich. Hence its important to decide whether you want to be rich or just appear rich. Want to be both? Then your last name has to be Jobs, Gates, Clinton or Ellison, so lets forget about that for the moment and get to the reality.
Lets now discuss about people who appear to be rich. These are people who own a luxurious apartment, a dazzling car , jewels and clothes that are in par with today’s trend , inspite of the fact that its beyond their range of affordability.
As a result, instead of enjoying financial independence , they fall victims of financial dependence. Every month they have huge amount of bills to be paid, hence their job becomes an integral part of their life which they have to hold on to even if they hate it. Juggling the funds would become an everyday routine, where you have to decide about which debt to clear immediately and which to postpone. These people always expect themselves to be in good health , because a major health issue would incur a lot of cost and obviously an emergency fund is out of question when they are busy shopping.
In a nut shell these are people who are used to the fake comforts that money offers and are not ready to accept the reality that something might go wrong someday and we have to be prepared to face it.
I personally would hate a life like that. Instead i would prefer to be rich in my own way. I won’t have the most amzing car, but i will have a vehicle that falls under my bydget to solve my purpose plus i will have financial freedom and lot of peace of mind. Instead of breaking my head over how to settle my monthly bills for all the debts, i would be spending my time in a constructive manner.
If i get bored with my job, i will have the courage to quit and follow my passion.To me living a life by my own rules matters more than the outward glamor that only leaves stress inside.I definitely cannot buy what i want immediately, but with months and years of secure savings, i would be able to acquire all that i desired some day plus i will have a sense of satisfaction, which i prefer to the fear of losing myself in debt.
So its high time you decide, what you want out of life. Because in the end life gives you what you desire out of it. Make a wise choice and start to act accordingly NOW!!!
