When it comes to handling finance, I must admit that I am not a champion at it but I know the importance of trying to learn and then gain more knowledge every day so I try to put my heart at it.

Finance is a great aspect of our lives that must not be under rated and the reason is because most definitely, we all need money to survive and without money no one is going to enjoy life the way that we want to. There is a satisfaction that is attached when you are confident that you can afford a thing that you are getting.

Life is beautiful with money but money doesn’t just drop on our laps, it comes to us when we work for it and when we show how much of it we want to get. With money, relationships get more interesting and it appears that at that point in our lives everyone just wants to be around us.

At a young age, I know about so many people who make a lot of money, but as quickly as this money is being made it is also been spent as well. At a young age, it appears almost easy for us to make money especially when we are hardworking and we know what we want but making that money stay with us for long and turning it into a family fortune will require more than the strength that we have, instead it will require us to make good use of the knowledge that we have about money.

I agree that it is difficult to put yourself through certain stress and discomfort just because you are trying to prepare for the future and most often as a young person we like to squander our money with the excuse that we do not know when we will die, but the question I ask people after they make this statement is that what if you enjoy a long life and you do not die young like you feared, how then do you plan to make up for every money that you have squandered?

I am not a saint when it comes to utilizing money, I really spend money whenever I have it and whenever I need to but then I have come to understand that the thought of what happens in the future should always be highly considered, we have to always have the plan of the future right on our palms and allow it to direct us through the daily decisions that we make.
