What is Financial Education(1) : ATTITUDE


Disclaimer : I wrote this article after reading <<Why The Rich Are Getting Richer>> by Robert Kiyosaki, so I referred to the book a lot.


I always mentioned about "FINANCIAL EDUCATION" in my previous articles,
but...............

What exactly is FINANCIAL EDUCATION ?

In the book I mentioned above,
author Robert Kiyosaki said that the Financial Education is not just learning some economic theories or learning how to balance account,
it involves a lot more.

The very first should be taught in Financial Education,
is..........
ATTITUDE.

ATTITUDE towards MONEY.

When talking about money,
some people's attitude is like "I have no interest at money."
"I don't care about money."
"Life is so short, we should just enjoy our lives."

The problem is,
those who spoke like the above examples,
are spending a lot of hours a day to earn money,
they spent most of their lives on something that they said they don't care about,
is it that they really don't care?
Or are they not telling the truth?
Are they lying to themselves?

Apart from that,
some people just like to say:"Oh, this is too expensive, I can't afford it."
Then they give up and stop thinking about it.

The author always encourages us to change our way of thinking,
instead of saying "I can't afford it".
we should say "How can I afford it",
so that we will start to operate our mind to find a way to have the money to buy what we want.

This is not just about money,
we should have this mindset in other aspects of life as well,
we human improved by started to think "HOW?",
that's why our lifestyle become so convenient nowadays,
and no more living in the cave.

Also,
our attitude toward the rich people.

Do you think that all the rich people gotten rich by doing something illegal?
Or do you think that all the rich people are crooks?

If someone hate the rich people,
do you think that that person will work hard to be the person he/she hating?
Or even he/she successfully became the person he/she hating,
will he/she has a happy life?

Lastly,
the attitude of thinking that government will take care of us.

Some people still think that they have no money because of the government,
not their own problem,
then they gotten excited to vote to change the government,
and hoping that the new government will take care of them.

Just like what I wrote in <<Enjoy Being The Victim>> article at 22th July year 2018,
now a year has passed,
did your lifestyle improve?
do you have more money now?

THE ATTITUDE DECIDES EVERYTHING.

Thus,
the first thing need to be in Financial Education,
is to learn about ATTITUDE.

I will talk about the second thing next time.

Thanks for reading.

I don't provide any buying/selling suggestion above,
please make your own investment decision and be responsible with it.
