Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your comment. Sorry, I took so long to reply.
I get what you are saying in your comment. I still have my struggles (a lot). I have some stability in my life but that doesn't mean I can relax totally.
I understand the need to be motivated and we all can be motivated by other things asides from having money. You mentioned wanted to get to a certain level because of your family. It is more than the money for you (I think).
I am grateful for what I have got and still aspire for more, however, my gratitude overrides whatever desire I have. It makes me work in love and I appreciate everything I get. I am not poisoned by unrealistic expectations or entitlement. That's just the difference from most people.
Indeed. Money does strange things to people and their egos.
Sometimes it becomes a real drag dealing with people that have inflated their sense of self worth because they now have more money and assets than others. As though they are now more worthy of having an opinion.
That's a whole other rabbit hole to fall in to.
Sticking to the topic, yeah, you are right. it is far more than the money when it comes to the security and happiness of my family. Being able to go out and do things and not fear whether or not I can afford to pay those bills is the driving factor right now.
I have two large bills that are outstanding. One was caused because of the Covid pandemic and the loss of income various restrictions and lockdowns caused businesses to have a crunch, this is a bill where I owe the one school some back payments. The second was caused because I needed to take a loan in order to improve my financial situation.
I am now in a better financial situation where my budget works far better. I do not have to fear meeting those budgets and having money spare.
Backed by that further are my Hive and Splinterlands assets I only recently discovered! This means there is a massive potential to grow and instead of taking 2-5 years to become more financially stable, I can pay off those debts sooner, all the while increasing the quality of life my kids are having.
That is what is most important to me.
Oh well, I wish you good luck clearing those debts. I have a few debts to clear myself and it's been hellish but what is life with a little push yeah?
I always try to see things from the bright. These days of struggle are probably going to be our best because we look at them with gratitude, knowing how far we've grown.
