Owning your finances will make the world a better place

Wait, what?

Yes, you read that well.

Taking control over your finances will contribute to making the world a better place. Yes, we all know: money is the root of all evil and all of that. Please, allow me to disagree.

One of the biggest sources of stress is money, is that right? Sometimes it feels that everything revolves around money. Not enough money, always not enough money. Or maybe you are worried about the future. Or maybe you want to go on holiday but that is not a possibility right now. Or even you want to treat yourself to a massage, but it’s not quite the right time, more important things are on the table right now.

Think about your ideal scenario. You decide to get your finances in order. You stop thinking that you are not good with money and take responsibility over it. Think about it, learn how to manage it and stop hoping that one day things will get better. You stop living paycheck to paycheck. You take action. What happens then? Your stress disappears (at least the stress related to money, that’s it). You can treat yourself to that massage, you can go on vacation. Most importantly, your day to day is more relaxed, you can focus on things that give you pleasure, instead of stress. You are not constantly thinking about how you will make ends meet. You can be more present for your family, your friends, yourself. You can make your life better.

And making your life better has a ripple effect. Because if you are in a good space, you will project that into your surroundings, and that will spread the feeling outwards, making the world a better place.

Because, my dear, everything starts with you.
