The Psychology Of Money

Hellooowewe Boss Babes! How are we doing today???

I am in the train as I’m writing this and a conversation I once had with my father came rushing back in my thoughts.

It went something like this:

Me: Papa won’t get into the corporate world. I hate working for someone else.

Papa: Then what will you do with your life?

Me: I’ll build my own business so that I can design my life, and buy things without looking at the price tag🫢🤣

Papa: Building a business isn’t a cakewalk. Plus, you’ll know why I look at the price tag before buying things. When you are one earning, you don’t feel like spending it.

Me: MATLAB KUCH BHI!

Fast Forward to about a year later -

I did internship

Earned 5k/ month

Saved 3 months stipend

Invested in a freelancing course

Got my first client and earned 3X the amount I invested in just 1 month.

Along with this, I even saved 1 lakh rupees, bought myself the latest iPhone (not to show it off, but to accelerate my content creation process) & now my brother has saved my number as his ATM.

I’m not trying to say that my father was wrong. He comes from a background where people believed only Rich People can afford a Lifestyle of their choice.

They believed that you have to keep earning & keep saving.

Why? For your child’s future!

But I don’t want their money. I want to make, spend, and save my own money!

I don’t want to adopt this limiting mindset -

“You’ll go bankrupt if you keep spending”.

NO!

“You’ll keep earning more if you go bankrupt!”

I have valid reasons why I said this.

If ya’ll want to know that, comment below & I’ll definitely update.

(I didn’t want to write whole ass essay on this 😬)

Love,

G💗
