Is money controlling you, or you're the one controlling your money?

[Starmix]

It's crucial if it's the money controlling you. This means that you hire someone to do things or tasks and you'll only pay. Even in a simple chore you do not do it but rather pay someone to do it for you. You are not lazy but you are crazy about the money that you have you think forever. The worst is yet to come when you're financially drained because you lack the financial planning and literacy. When that comes it might be hard to recover what you've wasted.

Those who control their money can have a better future. They are even afraid to spend a single penny, everything is counted and accounted for. That's the mindset of a real and true financial planner.

In my case, I can definitely say that I am the one controlling my money. I know where my money goes.

I think I have learned my lesson of not spending too much but to control my money instead of the money controlling me.

I want to control money, not money controlling me. My mother always say money is a good servant but not a good master.

I agree, money is not a good master at all. The best way to counter greediness is to share the blessings to loved ones or friends. But there is always a boundary.

Exactly it's not a good master, i have seem people gone into a dead end simply because they let money control them. There needs to be boundary.

Yes that is true, boundary is important. Without it - giving what we cannot afford to give will make us broke. But then again, when we feel being greedy, antidote is to share the blessings.

Money can control us in some special and circumstantial ways, but most of the time, it is us, humans, who control our money. If we do not do it, it's our big loss.

 

[Springtime]

I would like to control money. I earn, I save and invest. I decide how to spend my money.

 

[Starmix]

I also control my money and never allow it to be wasted for useless things. 5 control my money through managing a busines online and offline. I also invest. Money must be controlled wisely and smartly.

If you are in a country where the economy is in shambles, you will understand that money controls every of our action and behavior. Financial literacy is unless when you don't earn enough to feed your mouth.

 

[Augusta]

I agree with you,Those who control their money can have a better future. You can see the future and work with it

If you are in a country where the economy is in shambles, you will understand that money controls every of our action and behavior. Financial literacy is unless when you don't earn enough to feed your mouth.

That will surely happen to a society where people are struggling financially and let money control their lives come what may which is wrong.

A boss cannot do all activities alone, that means he must distribute some tasks and authority to employees, likewise a housewife who is pursuing a career is better off paying a babysitter to look after her baby than having to take care of her baby herself. I don't know whether a boss and a housewife are examples of money controlling you, or you're the one controlling your money.

You are correct of course, businesses let their money control them to pay people, pay bills, and repair damages. It is still the owner to control the money to avoid overspending on materials for repair for example.
