Forgetting to enjoy your money

I think it’s important to remember why we work so hard to earn our money. Money is a valuable that often gets misunderstood and abused. Sometimes we can get so caught up in saving our money that we lose sight of the bigger picture. The purpose of money is to enrich and make our lives better.fun

In most of my other posts, I tried my best to convince you that it’s important to balance your budget and to put away for emergencies. I also tried to give you advice on how to invest your money so you will have more later. In this post, I want to remind you how important it is to enjoy your money.

We work hard, most of us some 50-60 hours each week. It’s not easy dragging ourselves out of bed to go into the office. You deserve to be able to enjoy yourself a bit. You deserve to go out for a drink or to a nice dinner. Why not take that trip this spring or buy that new computer you’ve had your eye on?

We can’t take any of the money we’ve made during this life to our grave, and our kids will probably just fight over it anyway. After we’ve paid our bills, put away some for retirement and savings, and given a little to charity, the rest is YOURS! You should fully take advantage of and enjoy your money. Life’s too short to drink cheap beer and to stay in on a Friday night.

Sometimes we can get so caught up in going through the motions that we forgot that we only have one life, so we should enjoy it! As long as your financial house is in order, I say go for it!

Thanks for much for reading my article, I hope you enjoyed it. If you wouldn’t mind, please consider sharing this article on Facebook or Twitter. Thanks!
