What do we really have the money for?

The Art of Spending Money

Books that don't come to teach that

How to save and invest

Or how much money to be called successful

But it reminds us of the more fundamental question:

"What do we really have the money for?"

The use of money is "art" because it has no fixed formula.

1,000 baht may not have the same meaning for each person. More important may be to know "what kind is right for our lives."

"Do we use money for ourselves or for the eyes of others?"

Sometimes we want something, not because of its usefulness, but because of the feelings that happen when others see that we have it.

More expensive cars, famous brand clothes, new phones

Of course, shopping for status is not always wrong.

If we realize, "We like it and we really want it,"

Problems can arise when we don't buy because we like it, but because we want "others to look at us change."

FOMO - Fear of Missing Out

When we see others there, we start to feel like we should have.

When we see others investing, we are afraid to miss the opportunity.

When something is a stream of things that you never want, it becomes "of them."

Perhaps one of the key financial skills

So it's not about knowing what to buy.

But is to know

"What, we don't need to run after?"

But this book does not say that we should save everything for the future, because on the other hand, life itself is not that certain.

If we keep saving money for the future and refuse to spend money on happiness today, one day we may regret it.

On the other hand, if we use everything for today until the future is unstable, we may regret it too.

So the problem is not "Savings or Use?" but perhaps "Where is our equilibrium?"

Allow yourself a "budget for happiness."

I want to try a new restaurant.

Want a new experience, go.

I want to try some hobbies.

If you try and find that it doesn't make us as happy as you think.

Next time, don't waste any more money on it.

We might have to experiment, too.

Than knowing what is what we "really like to spend money with."

Money management is not a matter of numbers alone.

We have different preferences, fears, needs, and values.

So good money decisions can be where "reason" and "feeling" meet.

Reasons to determine how much we can afford and gives us a sense of what is worth our lives.

Because in the end...

The goal may not be to have as much money as possible.

But it is to make the money we have help build life the way we want to use it.
