Salary Dilemma

The month is coming to an end and I've noticed myself being excited about it. This is something that doesn't usually occur, I'm not usually concerned about what time of the month we're in, I just go on about my business. The question I ask myself is why?

The answer is simple and one worded, Salary. I get paid at the end of the month in my place of work. I must confess it feels good, like getting free money except it isn't actually free money, I have worked for it for the past thirty days or so. I have been patiently counting the days go by till the very end of month.

I love the salary and I don't despise my work but something just doesn't feel right. I am seeing myself becoming overly dependent on the salary. I am the business kind of person, hussle and make my own money and not have to wait for someone's pay into my account at the end of the month. Each time I spend the 'free money' it feels like I'm gradually spending to my doom. I see the money get smaller and smaller with each passing day of the month unlike when I used to do business and actually grow my income with each passing day.

Salary is great but I don't want it to be my only stream of income, I don't want to have to wait on someone to be paid at the end of the month. I want to do business with my money and actually grow in wealth and not the other way round. I'm actually working on a few things but they are yet to come to fruition. All I can do now is hope for the best.

Nice write up.
Someone thought me that salary is what you do for other. And what they value your time at. It's better you pay yourself cos you re the only one who knows the true worth you have.

Yes oo, I prefer paying myself but I also like salary money, there's this joy that comes with the alert. Lol

I like it better when I m the one paying the salaries... Lol
