Money is Valuable When It Is Circulated |

| By: Robert Hall | ||||
We all know and have discussed about the qualities and the effective ways on making money. We want the steps to attain financial freedom and read all there is to know about wealth building. This is all well and good but there is one more thing you must know about money-it must circulate. Money is worthwhile only if it is circulated. Your efforts on making money will become a waste if you are not going to cash in your check and use the proceeds. Seems easy enough to grasp but you will be surprised that people still don't know this truth and sacrifice an excellent quality of life for wealth building that have no purpose but to be accumulated. There is a story about a man named Mr. Chapman. He was a junk dealer who would go around the streets collecting old junk people have discarded and selling these things for whatever he can get for them. He never seemed to become rich enough to change the way he lived and eventually he passed away. Because he had no close relatives and friends nearby, the authorities had to come in his property to take stock of all that he has left behind. You would expect all the old memorabilia and junk from him-but imagine the surprise of the policemen rummaging the place to find boxes and boxes of cash amounting to more than $100,000 in the house. You would think that $100,000 is the very definition of financial freedom; but not one person could say that the elderly junk dealer was ever a success. He had the dusty money, but because he never used it for himself or other people-the cash was as good as the old cast-offs he used to collect. Don't get me wrong, you must never spend all that you have on wasteful living-of course not. What we are saying is that you must use money to enjoy and have a quality of life everybody deserves. Exercise wisdom in managing your finances, but always put money in its proper place in your life. We can tsk tsk old Mr. Chapman for his unwise actions but really, so many people have become rich and have been found guilty of the same thing-accumulating wealth without using it wisely. At the end of the day, success is found not in the quantity of money you have, but by the quality of living that you have done. |
