Human beings are social creatures, and the notion of solitary existence eludes us. Navigating life becomes considerably smoother when in the company of fellow humans.
We are indeed responsible for our own financial situations as it is our decisions and actions that put us where we are. It is also indeed natural for human beings, as natural social creatures, to seek opinions from a community that we belong to or can generally relate to. However, applying the responsibility we hold for our situations, it is vital to ensure that we are the ones to make the final say on what we should do and should settle with amongst the opinions and pieces of advice we have gathered. Moreover, it is best to remember that trial and error is a must, as not all of our actions will have good outcomes, but we can always find a way to turn negative results into opportunities.
In conclusion, asking for advice and opinions, as well as seeking others' knowledge are good ways to have options that will lead us to a path that we are ultimately responsible for. Remember that every decision is made from various factors that influences us, and it is up to us to make good use of them.
