Its pretty astonishing how the importance and relevance of money has grown by many folds in the last 10 decades in the day to day lives of people. Money is more important than ever before.  Money is the answer of 90 % of problems of people today.

The funny thing is every one wants everything and to get everything, they need money. But seldom any one wants to work hard for it. They all want to get rich quick, very quick. These are the kind of people who learn the hard way that making money is not easy and is not done over night.

Another tricky thing is money itself is the best moneymaker. Once the principle gets bigger it eventually starts pulling money  to it, if invested correctly. It soon becomes a game of rolling this money at the right places at the rite time and reaping the rewards. According to me the whole game of getting wealthy involves  25 % working hard to make the initial money and 75 % getting that hard earned money to make money for you. Big money should never lie idle. It wouldn’t be wrong to say money sitting ideal is equivalent to losing money. All that money sitting there doing nothing  is losing its buying power due to evils like inflation. Invest, invest, invest. For example, I started my internet career with 45 $ and invested close 95 % of the amount back into the business for the first 6-7 months. This allowed me to grow by 1000% last year.  If you are not investing back what you are making, you are an idiot.

Money also instills a sense of confidence. A well off person is much more confident in his activities than a ahem-ahem person. A well off person is more confident in taking risk than the ahem-ahem person and like we all know what pays off the most is the riskiest. You can actually notice the difference in a well off person’s behavior. At the end of the day, money is a huge boost for your ego and confidence.

Money gets you respect. It kind of comes with being wealthy, people start taking you much more seriously. Its natural people are gonna take you much more seriously if you step out of a Bentley than a Toyota corrola.  People tend to pay more attention to what you are saying and tend to be nicer to you and you tend to find out that you have a lot more friends than you originally thought. Money is one powerful magnet. This by no ways mean that you become wealthy for others attention.

Wait, before I call it end I would like to point out the difference in being rich and wealthy.  Rich is equivalent to accumulating lot of money and nothing else. Being wealthy on the other hand is more about using the money to do things you want and being happy. If the money can’t help you be happy, its useless then.

So at the end, Money has pretty much evolved as the 5th element and the one who can tame it has involved as the greatest and the most powerful.  Make money, use it wisely and invest it even more wisely. There is a lot your money can do for you than you can do for yourself.  I’ll end it with a quote
