Can money make you happier?
Jun 11, 2019No, money doesn’t buy happiness. But being poor doesn’t buy anything.
I know this is a massive #truthbomb but I’m just so damn tired of the notion that it’s somehow more “pure” to be without, and to NOT be rich.
At some point, society decided to condition us in to thinking that spirituality and money don’t go hand in hand.
But you know what?
🧘♀️ You can be spiritual AND rich.
❤️ You can be religious AND wealthy.
😁 You can be happy AND have a lot of money.
Wanna know why?
Because money is MADE UP. We created it...it’s a concept of exchange that we gave a physical presence to through coins, notes, credit cards and numbers in our mobile banking app.
Sorry... but you’re not noble because you’ve sacrificed money to be “more spiritual”.
That’s an oxymoron. Money is energy, so how spiritual are you really if you can’t connect to it’s energy?
If I gave you a knife, you could cut open an apple and share it with friends. Or you could stab someone. Money is the same... it’s a TOOL that people choose to use everyday. It gives us options. That’s it.
So what are you going to choose... being poor or rich?
Here’s something crazy 😜
In a survey by BlackRock, 27,000 people from around the globe were asked about their WEALTH 💰 and well-being ❤️. And why you feel the way you do...
The top question asked: if money could make you happier.
Here’s what they found: When people take a step to invest, they create a greater sense of well-being TODAY.
Here's what they discovered...
People reported that they felt:
😁 24% happier
❤️ 36% higher level of well-being
🧘♀️ 19% less stressed
🤑 43% more positive about their financial future
But you know the CRAZY part?
🤯 57% of people aren’t investing!!!
The reasons why, is they said:
“I'm afraid of losing it all.”
“Investing is just for the experts.”
“Investing feels too big.”
You’ve probably said or thought those things before, right
The thing is, you can start investing BEFORE you have a lot of money.
Making a few small, smart investments can have a major impact over time.
Micro-investing (investing small amounts of money) can lead to a greater return than just letting it sit in a savings account where it isn't working for you 😖
Don’t wait too long!!!
So, can money really make you happier?
Well, I would say yes. But being confident, and in control are even bigger upsides. Now’s the time to take action and get started ✌️
