Money, it's easier to spend than to earn it. And if we are not good at managing expenses, let alone having enough money to save, the feeling of not being able to meet our needs for the next month becomes quite difficult.
Therefore, it is quite important for us to be able to manage our income and expenses as well as possible. So that our needs are still met, and we have some money to save. However, for a better future, we not only need the money we save in the form of savings, but we also need to have investments. because we cannot continue to work and make money, there are times when we are sick or approaching old age, so we may not be able to return to work, and this is where investment is important. Because through the investments we have, we will still be able to make money even though we have retired from work.
In my opinion, this has become a common problem, because it is very real that getting money is difficult while spending it is very easy, especially if we don't have good money management. So it is likely that we will experience difficulties in living our daily lives even though we have money which basically should be enough to survive for the next month. Also, not having money doesn't mean we don't have to not have good money management. Just in case, we should be able to have good money management.
Balancing income and expenses must be done, perhaps one way that can be done is by recording expenses. and when we want to buy or spend money on something we have to be able to consider it well, don't let us do things without considering it, like when we have a lot of money. When we have a lot of money it doesn't mean we can spend money arbitrarily without considering it first. If we already have money and a job, then we must be able to manage our finances well, considering today and the future. with our own future, of course we have to think about it by saving the money we have earned and if it has been collected it can be used to invest, but to invest we also need a good understanding, don't invest without a good understanding.
