Happy with Money
How to be free from money anxiety problems?
Below are just some examples of how I learnt to stay within my limits, to be sensible and happy with money. If you are happy with money and have enough money for freedom and really important things in life, then you are living in true abundance. Money is linked with work. When you work hard especially doing something valuable then this may attract the flow of money in your life.
There are many wrong way of making money that do not result in happiness. For instance if you are in a job you do not like, then that is not a happy way of making money. It is like a form of prostitution. There are many wrong jobs and industries that make money at the expense of destroying the environment, or restricting people's freedom, or exploiting third world countries. Or people may profit from tax payers.
How to live happy, comfortably and simply?
- Avoid any type of debt. Out of greed people are spending more money than they earn, produce or are willing to give. As a result of continued greed and borrowing money, the whole world gets into debt. Only be willing to spend money that you have earned.
- Cut costs. Find out where your money is going and cut costs. For instance I sold my car. I can get to work without it. That frees up a lot of money. The only real outgoing costs I now have is rent (which includes bills), travel to work and food. I live quite a simple life. The only other expense I had were trips abroad that were spiritual related. But the principle of spending only what you earn also applies to all travel and holidays. You could cut holidays if necessary to free up the money needed to live comfortably. A lot of people not only have a house and car on finance, but they spend their money on drink, cigarettes and drugs. You could cut a lot of this. Then you have extra money available. If I had a mortgage I would even be tempted to sell out. Especially if the financial markets crash completely. One option of travelling is to get useful jobs abroad.
- Live happy and comfortably. When you cut your unnecessary expenses and have extra money available, it is so nice just to be able to live happy and comfortable. For instance if something happens like your watch brakes you can just get it repaired without thinking whether you have enough money. It is great having available money to be able to do whatever you need to do. You have the freedom to do what you want or go wherever you want.
- Check the Vaastu. The Vaastu of where you live, your house and the land you live on may affect your life and financial situation. Check it out for yourself.
- Pay by cash. You can help the economy by paying traditional cash for goods and services. I try not to use my debit/credit cards. If you pay by cash you are actually helping the economy, because businesses get charged when you pay by card even if there is no charge to you for using a debit card.
- Stay healthy. Some people spend lots of money on medication, that can take up most of their wages.
- Give with an open heart. When you give money away or when you spend something or buy something, give with an open heart as if the money is flowing from abundance. The more money you give with an open heart the more money you may receive back. It is good to let money flow into your life and flow out again freely. There is no need to hold onto it or count it or become obsessed with it. Let it flow in and flow out in abundance. If you hold on tightly to the money before letting it go then no money is coming back to you. But if you give freely then it comes back to you easily.
- Check your company. Distance yourself from people who can affect you negatively with their scarce attitude towards money. A lot of people are always digging the notion that life is a struggle and there is not enough money. You tend to become like whoever you associate yourself with. Some people moan and worry about not having enough money, which is all they ever think about.
The bottom line here is that it is all about living simply and holistically. It is all about living honestly and sensibly and within your own limits. May happiness, prosperity and freedom in life be yours.
