Valentine’s Day is less than a week. I am sure a lot of us
are already planning what to do, where to date and what to eat. For the singles
out there do not fret. It is also singles awareness day you know. You can team
up with other singles that day. I am sure you can find a way. So much rhyming
here I know.
However rest assured this post will not be applicable for
the couples only or individuals who already have someone. This post is also for
the singles. See I just love you dearly. This post after all talks about having
another partner in your life. And this partner is your money.
Adding a little romance with money can truly transform your
money habits and more so your spending. As much as possible we must treat money
as our partner. The reason being why we do such because there are good things
we do with our partner. We often don’t want our partner to get angry with us
right? We are always careful with each other’s feelings and keeping it safe
from harm’s way. Needless to say, we must also work that way with our money. And
make money your partner.
So basically the question is how will we treat money like
our partner?
Carefulness
I am sure you’ve heard of Be Careful With My
Heart teleserye right? This must also be the same mechanism with your money.
You must be careful with it. You must be careful where to spend it and how to
spend it. You see, in a relationship stand point, if you are not careful with
the heart of your partner, you would end up breaking his or her heart. Then there
would be chaos and more. Same thing would occur with regards to your money. If
you just squander it aimlessly, chances are you would be breaking your wallet
and more so your heart. You will end up broke. You don’t want that to happen
right?
Interaction
When we talk with our partner, we are always
calm, soft and sweet. We are always at our best demeanour every single time.
This must also be the way we treat our money. As much as possible we must
always be calm and soft. Do you feel angry or do you feel angst when you pay
your bills? Perhaps are you stressed every single time? Remember the energy
that you release would also be the same energy that you attract. Money is
energy. It is attracted to individuals that appreciate it and treat it well. And
like attracts like. Hence make sure you feel prosperous and thankful with your
thoughts about money. For sure, your money energy will also work that way.
Patience
When we
love someone, we are always patient with them. We cannot begin to imagine if we
were patient before because it seems to stretch out in our relationship. We would
be willing to wait for them. With regards to money, we must be patient as well.
There are times that we want to buy something however we don’t have much. With that,
do not go overboard and loan up or swipe that card. Instead, wait until you
have more or until you can afford it.
Afraid to lose it
We are often afraid to lose our partner. We
cannot imagine a life without them. Even more, we do so many things to let them
stay because it would be heart breaking without them. Same goes with your
money. You must do things to let your money stay. Do not just squander it and
spend it that in just how many days you will be left with nothing. Be afraid to
lose it so that you will treasure it and take good care of it.
Growth
In a relationship you must let the other person be
themselves. You must support him or her do whatever his or her dreams are. We must
let them grow. This must also be our mechanism towards money. We let it grow
too. We want to see it prosper after all. Hence, save up your money. Invest it
in order to yield more in the process. Let it bloom and let it grow.
If you treat your money like your honey for sure your money
would be with you for the longest time. You could be able to maximize the use
of it. That is why apply the strategies stated above and for sure your money
would stick with you through thick and thin.
