Spend  on understanding income. don't actually say this simply but we don't use it. As we spend, at some point we find that these places seem normal.But later it is seen that people are getting into debt due to excessive spending.  Due to excessive expenses, people become financially incompetent.There are some people who have more income than their expenditure and invest their money, their case is different. Very few people belong to this category. Day by day the prices of products are increasing as well as the quality of income is not increasing as a result people are suffering from financial crisis.
In order to avoid debt due to overspending, we need to track or list down the amount of what we bought. There are so many ways to save money, for ex. it's not necessary to have all the new things if your old thing is still functional. Same with the food that we are eating. No need to cook brand new food but we can just re heat the leftover that we have in our refrigerators. You said people who have more income do invest?

It might be easier for them to do that because they have excess cash but it's also possible for those who are currently budgeting. Instead of prioritizing things that gives you short term happiness like gambling, beer, and cigarettes. Why not use it for buying cryptos or any other assets which can be use for investing? That should help you better in the long run.

Once a man, twice a child!
We can also decrease our expenses and stop third-partying tasks we can do ourselves, so at the end of a monthly cycle we will have earned more money to invest and make it grow overtime.
Man's wants are insatiable. Know it and you will understand that man's cravings for material acquisition is in his DNA. The part I don't like in life if when one can afford certain necessities but choose to deny oneself that. What's the essence of money we make if not to spend it? That part which I put in bold in OP's post I quoted above doesn't go down well with me. The reason I said so is because money can't buy leisure. One has to give oneself rest, relax and let others do the work. Paying for such services doesn't mean one is extravagant. It simply means one isn't jack of all trades.

Op, you made alot of sense. One thing is having money and the other is spending it judiciously. If you try to curtail the way you spend, you will understand that your little earning is alot. Personally, I saw myself exhausting my data package that lasts me for two weeks withing 5days, I asked myself what has happened to me. I became conscious of it and stopped visiting those sites or social media that doesn't generate any money for me. My data usage has normalised.

My TV channel providers charge me alot to give me dozens of channels that I do not watch. I had to send them proposal to online give me CNN, Aljezeera, Local news channel, EPL, and Champions league sports channel and I will pay for only those, they are yet to feedback.
Learning not to spend unnecessarily is a virtue.

We have the same sentiments. I've been paying rent for an apartment that I don't often visit. I've been paying bills that I wasn't even using and buying stuff that I don't need. I was a fan of designer bags but when I had trouble with my finances that's the only time that I realized that I need to cut unnecessary things to survive even if it includes the things that I want. It's all about self-discipline and self-control over being self-centered.

From my understanding of how to be curious in making money. If you have created the pathways of generating money and it's not diversified, it's very obvious that theirs every tendency that will make you not have the mindset of spending money carelessly. From my own point of view, without spending money you will not be serious of making money. That's from my perception. Because money needs what will trigger your ambition to get money.

From what I've seen, it's usually the lower class that has issues with budgeting that prevents them from propelling upwards on the socioeconomic ladder. Once you shell out the funds for living expenses, there isn't much left to save or spend on personal expenditures or put into a savings account. I suppose the drawback to hypercapitalism is hyper-consumerism, and the lack of financial literacy. Surrounded by products and services, does it seem beyond comprehension that folks would have a tough time managing their budget? I don't advocate saving someone from themselves -- I would never tell someone how to spend their money.
Personally I think that the lack of financial literacy is intentional, if people knew more about the economy and how to more efficiently use the money they have available then they will try to avoid being indebted for stuff that they do not really need, because we know that when you buy stuff using a credit card is not rare to pay double or even triple than what you will have paid by using cash.

So not only people have a lot of trouble earning money, they do not really even know how to use the money they have, and this ignorance is what causes them to make so many mistakes and to never achieve any degree of financial freedom.

When I think of the scenario OP had given us, it makes us believe that we are earning by not spending it.  But thinking deeply, we don't earn money in actuality.  Why is it called earning when the money we suppose to spend doesn't grow in value while holding it,  Would the better term be saving money?  In a scenario, how can we say that we earn the money when it doesn't change in positive value?  If you are already holding $10 and wanted to spend it on something but did not, did you earn something?  No, right? But you did save $10.  It is when we invested the saved money and gain a positive rate from it we consider earnings.

This is why financial literacy is a big thing, there’s a quote saying that it’s not about how much you make or get from your salary that will make you liquid, its about how much you save. This has been my way of reminding myself not to spend beyond my limit, because I’m been through this situation already and I know the stress of spending too much. If you really want to become rich, you should know how to control your finances and stay rich for good.
A big yes for this, financial literacy will take you to a better place and no matter how much money you have its useless if you don’t know how to spend it wisely. Investing is a good thing, but the question is what are you going to do if you already achieve your financial goal? Having a good discipline is very important and we should not forget about this one while we are busy looking for other source of income.
I agree with this, people concentrate too much on the income they get and not on the money they actually accumulate, there are many people that may seem to be doing great but at the first moment something goes wrong they get into financial trouble almost immediately, so people need to learn to use their money in a more effective way and to live below their means, if they can do this and develop a solid investment strategy then sooner or later they will reach financial independence and they will not have to work for money anymore.

People save and earn simply because we all have our personal goals and desires to achieve and saving would be the best step for us to reach the things that we couldn't get instantly. Most of us were not born rich so we have no choice but to grind and earn. We only have to be wise in spending and avoid a wrong lifestyle.
If you don't have other source of income yet then try to decrease your expenses and lifestyle. Avoid unnecessary expenses and it's true that it will make you have more budget at the end of the month by cutting those unimportant expenses like subscriptions.

We're not all born rich.

But it's a problem if we don't take actions from ourselves and will settle for what we are right now. It's okay to dream big but we also need to achieve something from that dream through self discipline.

Whether it's saving money or making money, the ultimate goal is to keep the money, when you don't have the ability to make money, you can only rely on saving money to make a lot of money. When you have the earning power, make more money and save money at the same time, so that it can snowball and slowly achieve financial freedom.

The ultimate goal isn’t to keep the money. I would love to hear your opinions on why people work to earn money cause I don’t think people work hard to get money to just keep it. I think everyone would love to be very comfortable and acquire those things that would get the comfort desired and that’s why people work.
That’s why people work two jobs or create other different sources of income; all to sustain a certain lifestyle or way of living.
A content man will most likely never go broke.
There's no such thing about being contented because a human being does have always that inner desire to acquire more and earn more to live a comfortable and good life which it would be understandable that they would really be doing all so that they would able to achieve on what they do have in mind via those other source of income or whatever kind of way that they could deal of with as long they could reach up their
dreams and goals in life.

We do strive to live a good life in terms of finances and other aspects so we should be smart and do work hard and persevere until you do reach up that one.

Unfortunately, Financial Literacy hasn't been taught yet in school in some countries( just like in my place), the reason why many people mismanage their money and have wrong spending habits. People just learned about this from entrepreneurs, from businessmen, and we need to move closer to them for the sake of learning. I can't really imagine the wrongdoings in handling our money, we simply think about spending on liabilities, not assets.

Focusing on making money from various sources is good, but everything will be in vain if it is not accompanied by good financial arrangements.
There are so many people who have a large income, but in the end they experience a financial crisis, because of poor financial arrangements.
We must be wiser in spending our money, don't let us spend a lot of our money on things that are less important. Even though we have reached
the financial amount we want, it does not mean our future is secure. Remember, no matter how much money we have, it will run out if it is not
managed properly. Spending our money on investment is a step that we really have to do, but it would be better to diversify investments,
to minimize our risk.
Many people think if someone has money - it is their right to get that money and spend it like the way they want......someone borrowed money from me that he will be dead if the money will not be arranged. And the next day he was shopping the big brands. WHte the .... if you have money why you were begging from me.
A great deal of people think like that, if someone believes that you can afford to lend them money then they feel no guilt at all in spending that money in whatever they want and they have no intention to pay you back.

In fact this is a phenomenon which is reported very frequently by those that win the lottery, as their friends and family members believe they are owed a lot of money and when the lottery winner lends them money they never get repaid, which is one of the reasons many of them go bankrupt a few years after winning the lottery.

There is a basic principle in investment that can be applied even in our daily economic life called: diversification of sources of income.
This means that no matter how much you get paid for doing one job, it will not be enough and you will never be able to save for any purpose whatsoever, and that you will always need money either by borrowing or by reducing daily expenses.
Diversifying sources of income can provide guarantees for the economic problems that occur in your area or that may afflict you from time to time.
