Personal Finance: A Dive Into Quality Of Life
One of the things that a lot of people do not put into cognizance is that quality health is essential in having the might to make money as well as utilizing the money well and even being available to enjoy the quality life that working and saving has essentially provided. This is why, quality of life is the fulfillment and satisfaction derived from a job that accords a person the balanced time to take care of the other non-financial aspects of their lives.
A lot of people feel that the busier they are, the more money they can make and hence the more satisfaction they can attain, but this isn't always true. One of the many qualities of a job to ascertaining how good it can be, is not just calculating how much you can earn per month, quarterly or even annually.
It's also about looking at the things we can actually go on to achieve the times, we're off the job, either on breaks, time off, or even holidays. One of the major aspect of job seeking is always about how monetarily good it can be, a lot of people forget that a good job is mostly the one that balances the money and quality of time it should afford one.
One of the many advantages of having a job that affords one quality time is that it can make it easier to own a different stream of Income. Now, this isn't the only aspect. Lagos, Nigeria is one of the most competitive places in the world and the high rate or likely of death to a struggling person is often very high.
So many people would take life-threatening risk rather than settle for a much safer job because they've come up with a self-analysis that the money is worth the risk. They feel that they're healthy enough and this is the only factor that's require to accrue such risks.
In actual sense, this is a no-brainer, this is because no one can predict the unforeseen circumstances that comes with health hazards, it is a job decreases the quality of one's life while providing more money, it's essential to understand, you actually need a "present" to take care of "futuristic" expenditures.
In a country with constant increase in the rate of inflation, people typically find themselves requiring more money to stay afloat, afford essential commodities and even foot their wants to some certain extent. For someone who has taught literature to high school students in the past, I often saw extended hours on the job to be the only way to take care of expenses and even save.
However, this limited my time in respite to how long I can take a walk, read a book, rest and even offered my micro gigs on the Internet, back in the days. To many, without money, there isn't a means to actually fund the quality of their lives, but the truth is that when people lived their lives making all the Money, it becomes difficult to understand that quality of life is what gives more vibrancy to money in totality.
Most countries in Africa have the poorest quality of lives. In fact, most Africans I've met have always reiterated that spending time idly to read a book, good on a date and all is tantamount to time wastage and can increase the possibility of crime and this is because people proportionally place a singular value on time; Money.
A lot of jobs do not consider the "off-the-job" activities of their workers, and they've failed to realize that these activities increases the effectiveness or functionalities of their workers in general. Mostly, private institutions are often guilty of this. They try as much as possible to squeeze time off their workers hands, thinking it's the major way to actually get the value from the salaries they're actually paying.
However, many organizations fail to understand that a quality life regularly increases passion for the job. One of the reasons why a lot of people are on the job is because they're needy, they have to hold onto the job, so they wouldn't be evicted from the houses because of owing rents and so many other things too and not really because they actually have passion for the job.
Quality of life affects government sectors and also influence the product quality which firms and company frequently offers and this is why it's Important to enjoy other non-financial dividends that comes with a job because one needs this to actually thrive and live well.
There are many factors to quality of life and this are, fulfillment, safety, good physical health condition, fair rules and a good family relationships. Nevertheless, if a job actually takes away any of these, irrespective of how much it offers, it's Important to understand that there might be uncertain present and futuristic repercussions.
So many countries have worked towards achieving quality of life for their citizens. As government and organizations, it's often Important to see beyond money in the metrics of achievements for individual workers. On the contrary, many companies sack their pregnant and sick workers because there are options due to the unemployment.
However, it's Important to note that before anyone can eschew monetary value to their work place, they have to be "whole" and balanced in so many aspects of life. In reality, a person can individually work towards achieving quality of life, because this is essentially how to even live well, irrespective of the added advantage that money can offer.
