To obtain sufficient financing, the rule is simple, reduce your expenses to a minimum and obtain a positive income that covers those expenses, and therefore you must, at an early age (for example, from 10 years), start achieving these leaders, which is that you have a positive income equal to your expenses at least so that your job is achieved You luxury and increase your positive income.

As for positive income, it is any income that does not require your personal presence, such as real estate or land rent, shares, intellectual property returns, and other income.

Reducing your spending is the essence of the crisis, and it is something that will not happen as you get older and your responsibilities increase, especially if you decide to get married and have children.
Is it the same with passive income? 'coz that is how I view it; earning profit without consuming most of your time or not being active as the word suggests. But I do agree with this, some people just happened to misinterpret finances. If you cannot fill the part of having huge salary then atleast do something to reduce your expenses. I view this as earning $20 bucks per day and spending only $5 versus earning $50 but spending $45. But ofcourse if you have both high income and low expenses that would be better problem only is that, not all people have that kind of privilege or opportunity. Engaging with investments on the other hand will be a huge leap but things won't be easy and simple for sure. Not all people 'win' in a  particular way, you just have to find what would lead you to such path.

OP's story sounds very interesting, the characteristics you mention are also the skills and steps to achieve success in financial management. First, you must have a goal, like saving enough money to invest in a home or retirement. Then you need to search for information and find economical solutions to achieve your goals. This process can take time and patience, but it becomes easier when you focus on the next point, like learning about interest rates and investments. As you progress, you will gather more information and become more confident about your decisions. In the end, when you reach your goal, you will feel satisfied with the decision you made. Stay focused on the clues and complete your financial puzzle

That night I suddenly realized that managing finances and assembling jigsaw puzzles are very much similiar.
You shouldn't think too much, it's not a similar as you think, because when you understand how to play jigsaw puzzles, you will easy to solve that puzzle like your daughter. It's the same as you managed finances, if you understand it, you can easy to manage and solved like you eat something. That's just the calculation of income and outcome, and the big problem people have is, there isn't income to solve the outcome.

This is true, once you familiarize yourself on how finance works it would be easy for you to di it step by step. Even every piece you would know where to put since you'd recognized they're places that can be similar to finance. Knowing every step and actions you'll take will just make you feel completing an jigsaw puzzle once you've finished it you'll see the prize. Not only the income that will hinder them to solve the puzzle, but also the fact they're emotion thinking that they will never solve the puzzle and scared to try it that you'll never finish the puzzle. Like taking a risk to finance since it's volatile, you can't guarantee a prize in the end, while in the process there's also challenges that you might face while in finance like mistakes. But for sure learning and gathering some experiences for sure you'll collect a lot of finished puzzles.

That's a great analogy! Managing finances can feel like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, especially when you're starting from scratch and have to figure out the pieces on your own. Setting a goal is the first step; you must begin putting the pieces together individually. It can sometimes be frustrating and overwhelming, but with patience and perseverance, you can eventually see the bigger picture and achieve your financial goals. Thanks for sharing your insight!

The allegory is a little bit of a stretch but I could understand and make sense of what you mean. Financial Literacy and Freedom isn't a one-time bigtime process anyway, that just because you read tons of books about finance and how to save money you'd finally understand the secrets to effectively managing your finances and earning a lot of money. It doesn't work that way. There has to be experience for it to effectively happen else it will all be theoretical work.
It's not only about finance, but life as a whole, relationships, family, etc. Everyone starts without any idea of what they will do, but that's the art of problem-solving. As a human, we can think and solve our problems and then draw conclusions about what's best according to our experience. It's not necessarily worked for everyone since it's a personal experience.

The most important thing is you think and you try to finish the job and get the job done. Do it every time for every task and you'll finish your finance puzzle perfectly.
I would agree. We're basically born to rawdog life itself coz no definitive blueprint, secret, or guide is available that will always work for everyone. Decisions you make may go awry and backfire but the most important thing is that you learn and improve.

You will realize that the game will sharpen your mind to think more logically, I get this moment in a chess game, where we always rely on the pawn for the king's deadly Staregi. The pawn movement is indeed slower and can only move one step, but at certain times the king's position will be pinched only because of one step we move. Likewise the way we manage finances, when we do not have a long -term strategy and preparation, the amount of money we have will actually be used up in conditions that are not needed.

The small pieces that you mean will be collected in increased amounts, when you put in some places of money and most of us think to place on one concept without thinking about some of the posts another place for far greater and more stable opportunities, so that one failure will be destroy everything even though there are some places worth trying?

Last weekend I was playing with my daughter at home. She has been interested in playing jigsaw puzzles so she asked me to play with her. Of course I'd love to. To be honest, I am not really a jigsaw puzzle player and always nervous about assembling the irregular shaped pieces, although usually there is a complete picture like a guide aside. Unfortunately that complete picture of my daughter's jigsaw puzzle was gone so I had to figure out all the pieces together all by myself.

In the beginning, I had no clue at all. I thought a while and decided to take one puzzle with the corner first and then tried to find some clue according to the small picture to get the next piece match. To my surprise, after struggling for a bit of time, I did it ! I managed to get the whole picture of the puzzles and my daughter was thrilled.  That night I suddenly realized that managing finances and assembling jigsaw puzzles are very much similiar. At start, we have/set a goal. The first step is not easy to make and usually you have to figure out on you own. There is nothing wrong with taking whatever as your first step but you have to find a clue to continue the next step to lead to the whole picuture/goal. In the process of assembling/working, you will be lost most of time but stay focused and patient, you just need to find that useful clue to the closest picture and then you'll be good. As you progress, the complete picture is getting clearer and bigger, you feel excited and more certain about the decisions you made. All you have to do now is follow the lead and contiue, when the last puzzle piece is perfectly matched, success is yours.

See finance in my explanation ? Replace all pieces with finances, it'll be great as well. I hope each of us will figure out all clues to the complete picture. Make your finance puzzles complete !

The same thing happens when you get new knowledge in any field: at first you have very small field visible and tons of work, as you progress, the picture becomes visible and it brings excitement. Jigsaw puzzle is the clear example of knowledge-acquiring process.

I think the reason why many struggle with finance is because they are burdened with debt at a young age and think it’s normal to always have debt.

Look how easy it is to get a credit card these days. After a few months of using a credit card they want to offer you a higher limit, just so they can make more money off you. And that’s how the cycle starts. Later it’s another credit card and maybe a car loan or Line of credit and you are pretty much trapped.

Well I do 1000% Agree with you, these days is heaven for a Lender. In my country alone you can get credit just install some app register and boom you got the money. Buy and Paylater become a habit even myself know the feel of this.

The best thing is to get rid of anything like this and start saving or at least do an investment and keep learn how the financial system work what the Poker Player says is true try the seven things above and maybe you will find the puzzle is not that complicated

Yes indeed. I thought about this analogy and found that it applies to life, relaionships and family issues as well but narrowed down to the financial topic here because I feared that the moderator would remove this thread to other sections Wink . To be honest, I like the repeated viewers in this section because most are serious thinkers. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

And that is the very definition of life itself, we really don't know what the future holds, what we have right now is just one piece of the puzzle. And we have to find out how each and everyone will fit into our life.

Just like in financials, hard to manage our wealth and money and those who can, are just a small percentage and they become very successful in life.

While the rest of us struggles to even earn a decent money, be it in job, or businesses and then we have a lot of debts to settle. So that's life and it takes a lot to be able to fit each and every jigsaw puzzle.

More precisely you're talking about the financial goals of an individual, yes of course we need to find a way for that we have to take stap by step to reach the designation however there are lots of practical difficulties are there too that is where assets and liabilities will play a major role of reaching what we are aiming.

1. Start as soon as possible.
2. Make enough research before investing your money either its business or an asset.
3. Going from the scratch will take time so be patient in ups and downs.

I can write endless points but going to stop here and refer reading the rich dad and poor dad book for better understanding about this topic.

Most people seems to be very hard to manage their money, I don't know why the reason is since I don't have any problem about financial. I'm not rich and I don't have many privilege, my life is simple and never want any expensive product.

I always eat cheap healthy food, exercise, learn a new thing, looking for a job with better payment and invest as much as I can. The point is don't wasting any money, you'll be rich sooner or later.

It's not all horrible to manage money. I mean, who doesn't like a good problem to solve? Like a jigsaw puzzle, find the proper parts and assemble them.

If you're snowed in, don't worry! Rotate the pot. Try something new, think outside the box, and don't worry about mistakes. The oddest parts sometimes fit. Can anyone say? You can make something you never believed possible with creativity and time

Your analogy is interesting and I can see the picture you are painting. But I want to relate it to investing and building a business. Starting a business is very difficult because one have to engage in so many activities like planning, seeking funds, choosing a location, employing staff, advertising, and seeking customers. But as you strive to settle these issues one after another, the business becomes easy to manage or run. That is why every investor must be patient and persistent at the beginning of the business without that the business will underperform or even collapse.

Thanks a lot, both for your comment and the reminder,haha. I actually noticed the paragraph problem after I sent the post but I was not allowed to delete the post. I will definitely work on this next time. Two or more paragraphs will be much better for a large content post. Thank you again  Smiley

financial management, financial planning or something like that is like a puzzle and is like putting together a puzzle. But of course sometimes it's actually more difficult or sometimes easier. it's more difficult when many unexpected things come that make us spend money unexpectedly but can be overcome if we have prepared an emergency fund.

we really have to have an image from the start or we can also make an image while walking. we have to be careful every step of the way, we also have to adjust everything. such as which should come first and which should be ended (primary, secondary and tertiary needs). and after we make a plan then we must focus on the plan that is being executed. and well if we are patient then we will arrive at the goal that we planned from the start.

----------------------------------------
OP I hope your post is made into several paragraphs (two paragraphs might be enough). so it's easier to read. the content of your writing is actually easy to understand and it would be even better if it was made into several paragraphs.
