The first lesson of financial freedom (2): Treat money rationally

The financial situation directly reflects the strength of our living conditions and business level. If the financial situation needs to be improved, we need to start from ourselves and realize the lack of ability and core competitiveness. In the follow-up efforts, keep your business level growing.

Money is a kind of digital energy, and we have to feel it before we can get it. Just like where we can hear music, we can find the instrument we are playing. How to perceive money? Just saying "Qian Qian money" is imperceptible to us; When money is quantified, such as "18 thousand", then we feel it.

Since money is digital, we need to understand and perceive it with digital thinking. Digital thinking is rational thinking. It is also our thinking of creating financial demand, using numbers to measure the result of money and measure the expenditure and income of each step. So be sure to understand the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

Many people's consumption habits are derived from emotions. Whether it comes from a good mood or a bad mood, "paying for emotions" is a phenomenon that exists in many people. In order to enjoy in advance, they spend all their money and even overdraw their future money, resulting in "moonlight clan" all over the street.

As a responsible adult, of course, you should be responsible for your emotions. In fact, the ways to relieve emotional stress are not just "buying while buying", but also many ways: fitness, reading, watching movies …

Furthermore, you can think twice when spending money: is it the same money, and there are better options to choose from? Perhaps this kind of self-questioning and self-answering can avoid an impulsive consumption caused by emotions.

1. Every time you spend, you should be clear about your emotions and motives, and think about whether this money is used to make yourself "cool" or to relieve stress. Is there a better way to release emotional stress?

2. Before spending every time, ask yourself if you can get a better choice for this money, such as saving it and traveling to your favorite place at the end of the year.

3. Delay your desire for enjoyment in exchange for better enjoyment in the future.
