Forty Years Old, It's Better to Save Some Money to Have More Confidence
Some say that having money brings a good life, but not having money brings a good mood. However, if a person has no money, how can their mood improve? For example, when a child needs to go to school, the parents cannot even afford the tuition fees. At this time, it is estimated that they will not be responsible.
Thirty, forty, fifty. Forty is when you become most aware of the pressure and hardship in life, but there is no reason to stop making money.
Last Wednesday afternoon, I accompanied Mr. Wang from the small district to the hospital for treatment. Mr. Wang's son went to Shenzhen to work and rarely came back. Therefore, Mr. Wang got sick, and the neighbors often went to the hospital for him. Mr. Wang has been coughing badly for several days, and he coughs all night. When he arrived at the hospital, the doctor suggested that he be hospitalized for observation. Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment, then nodded. The doctor issued a hospital bill, asking Mr. Wang to pay the money. When Mr. Wang arrived at the payment point, he heard that the pre-payment was five thousand yuan, and he immediately left with the bill.
The doctor said, 'Old man, how can you care about a few dollars?' Mr. Wang said, 'I have no social security and really don't have money. If I really need to be hospitalized, let's wait a few days, my son will get his salary, I will ask him to send some money back.' The doctor reluctantly changed the bill and gave Mr. Wang some medicine to take home to heal.
Mr. Wang's son, Wang Xiaomao, is 43 years old and brought his wife and children to Shenzhen to work. Wang Xiaomao only has a junior high school education, went to work in Shenzhen, the salary is not high, more than 3000 per month, his wife works at home to do some handicrafts. In Shenzhen, they rented a very small house, more than 600 yuan per month, and the living cost was more than 1000 yuan per month, and the children also needed to pay for school. Now, Mr. Wang is sick, and he hopes Wang Xiaomao will send money back.
Yesterday early in the morning, Wang Xiaomao drove back from Shenzhen to visit Mr. Wang. After Wang Xiaomao took care of Mr. Wang, he went to the neighbors' houses to knock on the door to ask for money. When I saw Wang Xiaomao lowering his head and asking for money, I felt very sorry for him. It is really difficult for a person to shoulder the burden of a large family.
Usually, the neighbors help Mr. Wang, but it's okay to say, everyone is just 'helping hands'. But when it comes to borrowing money, many people don't want to. They are worried that Wang Xiaomao will not be able to repay it. So Wang Xiaomao knocked on the door for an afternoon just to borrow 2000 plus yuan.
A man in his forties, if he doesn't have money, how can he become timid and lose his dignity? He doesn't become weak because he can't do it. It's really because his ability is limited, and he has to give up his dignity and try to maintain the harmony and happiness of a family.
Last month, classmate Wang Ju returned from Nanjing. Some classmates in the county gathered to have a reunion, which was also a welcome for Wang Ju.
The meeting place was a high-end hotel, and it cost more than two thousand yuan. When it was time to pay the bill, Wang Ju said to everyone, 'I'll treat you all. I know that everyone is making a living in the county, and many classmates are working in institutions, and each month's salary is not high. It's not that I look down on everyone, it's because I'm more financially stable than everyone.'
Originally, classmate Liu Zhe was going to pay for this meal. He works in a five-person institution, and his daily work is regular and relaxed, but his salary is only more than 3000 per month. He also bought a house, and the monthly mortgage is almost 2000. Although he has some bonuses from time to time, the total bonuses in a year are only about 10000 yuan. When it comes to spending money, he's timid, how can he be confident?
Again, Mr. Wang Ju is only 40 years old, he is a deputy manager of a large enterprise, and his annual salary is more than 70000. Furthermore, he invested in a food store, which can earn more than 100000 per year. In terms of income, he has already achieved financial freedom, and he doesn't need to be timid when he speaks.
Having money gives people more confidence, and not having money makes people timid. Especially men, if they don't have money, their wives will look down on them, and they may even divorce. Poverty is the root of many family conflicts. For example, when relatives come to visit, they don't even have money to buy meat, which will be looked down upon, and they won't be interested themselves.
Having money gives people more confidence to start a business. They can do what they want, and they don't need to ask others for money, and they don't live in debt and pressure. If you borrow money to do business, you will be afraid of wolves and afraid of tigers, and you will fail if you fail, and you will lose everything.
Having money gives people more confidence in their interactions. They don't feel dwarfed, and they don't look down on others. However, many wealthy people are low-key and won't expose their wealth, but they have savings, and they have confidence in their interactions.
Having money gives people more options at critical moments. For example, when someone in the family is sick, they won't be flustered and panicked, and they won't think about their lives collapsing, but they will reassure the patient: 'Money is not a problem, don't worry.'
'The only disease in the world is poverty.'
When you reach middle age, being poor is not a disease, but staying poor all the time is a disease. When you are 40 years old and still unable to make a fortune, and you can't change your destiny, you are sick.
When you are 40, the most important thing is 'heart poverty'. When a person tries to change his destiny and become a sunny person, 'heart poverty' will slowly disappear. It's important to stand up straight and be confident.When you are 40, if you have a lot of money, you still often help others and maintain a philanthropic spirit, then you have more confidence—it is a spiritual richness.
It is said that 'money can move ghosts.' Although money cannot do everything, everyone needs money. People should not be poor to the point of collapse, otherwise they will become more and more humble.
