Value of Money

 Value of Money.

Money is very important.
You can buy your dreams with Money.

Every body wants Money.....
Every one runs behind Money.
We all work to earn Money.....and aspire to earn more and more.

We feel Money brings Happiness.
So we gift Money to show our love to people close to us and make them happy.

We feel that people come closer to us because of Money.

True....but not completely true.
Money can not compensate love and affection. Money can not compensate the physical interaction between us and loved ones.Money can buy everything......name,recognition and power.
But all gets lost....even friends earned through money.....at times relationships too....once Money gets lost.
What remains with us ,then,is true loved ones,true friends and....goodwill earned through our sincere work.

Today's society is Materialistic.
Social Media is full of all that Money can buy.....
Every one is well informed about how to spend Money....
All that Money can buy.....is easily available and accessible.....

Right since a child is born.....the first thing the child is introduced to is " The Mobile Phone".
The device which introduces the child to The World and all that the society displays.....and shows and projects.

Through the Mobile phone....with just swipe of the tip of  small finger.....the child can BUY .....every thing.
What starts from a Toffee.....later to toys....dresses......games.....gadgets.....Apps......and the World.
An Urge .....innocent tantrum.....the love of the Parent and Grandparents for the child...fulfills small demands..
The child grows up to realise how emotions can be manipulated.....
What begins initially as an urge to buy whatever attracts the eye......soon grows to addiction.

Money is Addictive.
Buying even more.

When Happiness and Love ,Affection gets equated with Money
and
Buying gives Pleasure
Or
Heals sorrow ,distress,disappointment ,hurt.

Money gains Emotional Value.

Emotions which get manipulated and easily misused.

Addiction if enters our system....it harms us physically and mentally.

Dear Friends,
Value of Money needs to be taught since childhood.
If we don't show kids how to handle money.....they will have to depend upon misleading social media to handle their money as an Adult.

Being very stringent and strict about Money during the child's growing years....makes the child either fear Money when Adult....or Frivolous when freedom acquired.
It's very easy today to spend money and children learn Spending Money easily.

Teach child the means earn money.Teach Finance....and Wise Spending.

How to make the child control urge to spend Money?

Give the child money ,teach handling money at young age.....even as young as 5yrs.( That's what experts advise)

Distribution of Money- The money needs to distributed in various parts.
1.Personal need- Essential and Luxury.Yes. Differentiating between Essential and Luxury is very important. Unfortunately, today,All Luxuries have become Essential.

2. Savings- How to save Money needs to be taught since childhood. It's not how much you earn...it's how much you have kept in your savings...which decide your Value.The various modalities of Savings which will earn for you tomorrow....which define your assets and help you in difficult times....or help you build your business.....in long run....at old age.
Savings help in fulfilling responsibilities and dreams.

3.Philanthropy- Giving back to society.
Right since 1 Rupee earned.....some money however small must go in Philanthropy.
Teaches child to be humble and grounded.Understand empathy and responsibility to support others around.

Money can teach .....
Money can Spoil.....

Money is that Weapon.....if used wisely and sensibly.....can create the Universe.....
But can ruthlessly destroy too.
