If I had more money – I would choose

1) Money is our number one source of stress. If you’re concerned about money, you would perhaps not be able to take that leap of faith into what you like or love. Taking control of your money, and earning more money over time by investing, can help us spend more time focused on work, rather than focused on not having money. So we can do a better job in our work.

2) Tell me: Would you feel better about going for that new job, which will really challenge you, if you have more money to fall back on? Would you feel better about starting that new business you’ve always dreamed about if you have more money? And would you march into your boss’ office with the proverbial “take this job and shove it” if you have more money?

The answer to all of these is, of course, yes. Financial control and financial equality are freedom. It can trap us in bad jobs and bad
relationships. Can we really achieve equality without achieving financial equality?

If we’re not investing, we’re doing most of the hard work around money. but we’re only getting about half the reward. And so we’re depriving ourselves of the ability to take on more risks in our career, to “play,” to have more fun in what we do, to do more in our careers, if we don’t have a financial cushion built up.

That’s why investing your money can be some of the best advice for building an amazing career and life.
