Money Is Now in the Streets Not in Offices-Find Out
Even though you are working very hard to improve your financial situation, the fact that your money is invested in quiet ventures means that very few people will know your true value unless you tell them.
Some people are busy purchasing flosses while you tie your money in investments. They are busy making reservations for pricey vacation spots and purchasing the newest watches, and clothing. Assets are quiet, but flosses scream.
But keep in mind that the prudent financial choices you make today will be what counts in the long term. Your moment will come to shine.
At the university, John and Jane were studying financial accounting in the same class. Following graduation, fate led them onto distinct life courses.
Five years later, Jane was working for a building company as an accountant, earning Ksh. 90,000 a month in gross pay.
Conversely, John was unable to find employment and ultimately became a cab driver. He earns at least Ksh. 3,000 per day, and if he works just 20 days a month, he would take home Ksh. 60,000.
When John picked Jane up one evening after work, she was waiting for a cab at the bus stop. Though she had no idea it was John, she leaped in.
Instantly, she became engrossed in her phone.
They realized they knew each other when she arrived at her location and was ready to pay.
They asked themselves simultaneously as if they had planned it, “Is this you?”
John insisted that Jane keep the money that Jane had given him.
Even though she maintained that she wanted to pay, he left the money for her out of old courtesy and happiness to see her.
After exchanging phone numbers, they both turned to go.
Jane, however, returned home that evening and became very reflective. Not that John looked awful, but why was he operating a taxi?
She was unable to comprehend it. She felt sorry for him. I felt sorry for him.
She would have paid him and asked to retain the difference if John had let her.
She had no idea that John owned two additional taxis that he used for business.
I.e., he receives Ksh. 180,000 every month. He already works as a landlord.
On the other hand, John felt sorry for himself too. Before he slept that night, he remembered Jane, how neatly she was dressed, and how nice the perfume scent was.
“She must be earning over Ksh.150,000 per month,” he said to himself.
He felt ashamed. He felt like a failure and he felt she was way ahead of him financially and otherwise.
Little did he know that, If Jane subtracts her transportation fare, tax, PAYE, Accommodation, and food money from her monthly salary, it will take her at least 2 to 3 months to earn what he earns monthly.
Sadly, this is some of our reality. We measure our progress and success with that of our friends, classmates, and relatives with very limited information we have about them.
You believe that yours is inferior because the other person acts and appears nicer, that you look dirtier, and that you are not wearing business suits.
There is no competition in life. Stop comparing things you don’t have the entire picture of.
Chances are that, even though you are more prosperous than your buddies, they own nicer phones than you. By snapping more visually engaging photographs and describing them with pleasant words, they may appear like they are more successful than you but in reality, they are simply another lot of overhyped individuals.
You know, social media can make tiny things look huge and less important things look essential.
Don’t be alarmed by the large volume of comments left under their carefully edited pictures.
You have no business attempting to outperform them in that as they are doing it for self-validation.
Consider the wealthiest individuals on the planet, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates. They seldom ever brag in public about their wealth or ostentatious possessions.
The majority of individuals lie. They take years to pay off their loans and drive expensive cars.
They hardly have enough money for rent, let alone the opulent apartments they reside in.
Some only manage to make ends meet by depending on their inheritance and family’s money.
You could be surprised to learn that they are having trouble sleeping even if it may look like they are doing better than you.
You may be surprised to hear that they are hopelessly trapped in a never-ending cycle of poverty.
Growth that occurs gradually is the best sort.
Even while using credit financing to support company growth is beneficial, you should always maintain a healthy debt-to-equity ratio. This will improve your quality of life, stability, credit score, and most importantly, long-term financial success.
