Topic: Relationship in-between greeds and financial management (Read 120 times)

Well, I go start with say no person or society fit tell you how to use your money, that na your personal decision. Your decision no must dey based on what others dey expect from you. And one thing I dey notice be say, when person dey live up to what society dey expect from them, that person fit no necessarily happy or fulfilled. Because some people get different priorities and goals. Some people dey focus on living luxurious life wey full of expenses and pleasures, while others dey focus on saving money and investing for their future. It all dey depend on wetin person dey value. So when we dey talk about discipline, you need to ask yourself wetin you truly value. If your goal na to save money and build wealth, no let society pressure or criticize you to spend all your money on things wey no get value to you. You get to focus on wetin go help you achieve your goals. And when you understand your priorities and values, then you fit ignore outside voices and dey make your own decisions.
Now we come to greed. Greed na one selfish desire to get more and more, without considering wetin dey good for yourself or others. And when greed become person focus, e no go allow you to see the big picture rather you go dey focus on getting more money or material possessions, but you no dey consider if those things go truly make you happy. And na so some people dey get themselves trapped in cycle of overspending and debt, because of the greed and need to keep up with the expectations of others. So wetin I dey try talk be say wen you dey focus on wetin really matter for life, you fit dey make better financial decisions and e go really help in different way. So make we keep greed aside because na bad attitude wey fit mk us do wetin we go later regret o.

Truely the way people behaves when they know your worth is something that is intimidating, if you are not careful they will Leed you to leave a life of an extravagant spender. I can remember a Frid of my who knows my worth and alway confront me when I want to buy something, he usually tell me bro you are bigger than this. can't you just buy and pay without pricing much. I told him even if I have much would I just spend it for people to see that I have money? I told him the reason I spend less is to save more? Because Wealthy people spend less and save more but the poor always like to show what they don have. Thereby leading them to becoming financialy unstable.

1. The best way to avoid criticism from your friends and relations, is to avoid exposing yourself to them by not revealing how much you earn.
2. By avoiding those of them that talks too much. You should chose your friend and let your friend not chose you.

If really you are chasing your financial freedom, you will never listen to what society has to say to you; you will just refuse to follow them in a lavish style because anytime they try to convince you to join them, which usually happens when they mock you, you will just be seeing them like some illiterate people who don’t know what they are all about and are not ready for the future, because someone who has high financial discipline at a young age will also continue to do that for the rest of his life, and that is also applicable to others who don’t have good financial discipline. 

Moreover, financial management and greediness are two different things. If it were stinginess, I might consider it, but greediness is definitely out of point because a simple definition of greediness is when you already have something that will sustain you for some time and still backbite the upcoming ones just to get his reward, and he stays in his position of failure, or, let's just say, the act of selfishness, most especially in power, wealth, or even food, while financial management is the process of reducing your expenses just to have a bright economic future, so I see no relationship between these two different things. 

The basic fact is that if you can not resist the negative influences across your homies, it is better of you cut them off m already it is said that negative aspirations corrupts good manners.
.so if your friends are not having you the vibes and energies required for your quest then it is better of withdrawing from them but if you can keep being who you are despites their influences, then it is better off playing fool to them while you are anonymously chasing your goal.

one of the major course of the ills and high rate of crimes we have in our society is the rate of peer pressure that's coming on an average youth. Except you've not related with your fellow youth that are living extravagantly, you wont know how negatively impacting they can be. it's always normal that they will attempt to talk you into living above your earnings whenever they know that you have the means to.

This normal phrase you don big pass this thing na, has made people that are normally meticulous with thier spending to become reckless and go broke in no time. One of my guy will normally tell me, guy! how do you even manage 30k a month? You de fuk up oh and this 30k was what i was used to spending every month as a student then, and you know the way the human brain is networked, as long as you are consistently receiving these statements, it won't take time before the urge to increase your expenses comes in and before you know, you've joined them in squandering whatever comes your way.

It's best to keep boundaries and let your friend know their boundaries when relating with you so you don't give them the room to give you wrong advice or influence you negatively.  know that every of your friend has his limitations in the kind of role they play in your life. You might not necessarily cut off from some of your friends that do drugs or leave a certain life that's not in line with your personality but you can define the kind of relationship that you keep with each of them which will go a long way in shaping how you take the kind of information that's coming from them.

Be careful with the people around for the society can influence and thwart your intentions.
I went to visit a friend in the students lodge and there I came across some guys making mockery fonds of another who take a month before he could consume #40K on his feeding and smokes.
Meanwhile they are being busted that it takes them not more than a week to exhaust such amount of money.
While the mocked guy was consistent to say he knows what he is doing and why he is managing his finances, one of the guys amongst them making fond of the other guy said something like.... I remembered those days when I was on money, this #40K is not even enough per day expenses for me when friends comes around. There i understand this guy on his speech had been in an attractive financial opportunity before but failed to utilize it.

There is something I came to understand in our societies today which is that when people knows about your earning values and you are not living up to the standard, you will be criticized for enslaving yourself that even when you have the money to live an expensive life.
They expects you to live a #1Milion life salaries if your earning value is figured out up to that.
Without realizing how they were liable to missing opportunities to take advantage of their present against planning for their future, later on they would always have this words "Once upon a time In recalling their formal standard of living in a regrettable output.

Do you believe when you are disciplines with your finances, the society would always feel you are greedy to yourself? Or do you believe disciplines has as balancing relationship with greeds when chasing after your financial freedom?
