A POOR MINDSET - I CAN NEVER BUY THIS

avatar

IMG_2690.jpeg

There is this word that we often say out of lack and unintentionally limit our capabilities and that is "I can never buy this." While I was younger, I used to say this a lot when I hear people spend a lot of money on things that I don't find really worth it or on things I don't even understand.

Even as a gadget lover, I did not understand why people would spend a lot of money to buy phones and all that and every time this happens, I always say, "This can't be me." But hold: In a few years, where am I now?

I used to say, I cannot buy an earpod more than 10,000 naira or a phone more than 40,000 naira but yet, my two phones alone are worth almost 10x each and for my pods, I have used two pods this year, one of 50,000 naira and the present one, which is now available for the price of 45,000 naira.

Here is the point: We would not say we cannot do these things based on our income; it is normal but that does not mean if we have the money we would not. In fact, we would spend the money on the most ridiculous of things; so far we have it and it is reproduceable.

Money itself is not really meant to be held; it is meant to be spent for our comfort, and if you have more than enough, then why would you not spend it or even give it away?

Now I am grateful for the little gadgets I have been able to gather. If I was told I would spend the amount of money I have spent on most of my gadgets a few years ago, I would have dragged the issue with the person.

So what about you, Do you have the same experience?

I think this 'mindset' is what almost all humans once had all will have at a point in life before breaking free from it.

I couldn't wrap my head around why people buy very expensive things when they can get a cheaper one that has the almost or same quality or features. Before, I'd rather have 2 cheap foot slides than one expensive.

Our experiences and exposure can determine our mindset.

Exactly!

What I now say is this: I can never try this until I have this certain income! It makes more sense to me like that.

Please send me the money you have that you are not using or can't decide what to buy with it and I will provide you a monthly income stream.

I have been around for a few years and I have always been interested in growing things, including money and more specifically today, digital wealth.

To understand the value and buying power of money is to understand the impact of inflation on goods and services. And with digital wealth we can leverage the inflation on one currency against another currency.

So what about you, Do you have the same experience?

Today, I have a similar feeling as I did about 40 years ago. Don't hesitate to buy what you need today cause the price will be higher later and your currency will likely have less buying power. Blame it on the strength of the US economy for now which will have to pullback when they eventually have to deal with excessive debt growth year to year.

Thank you very much for sharing.

I'm having a #TooFuckeh !MEME of a #FUN time.
May Positive pepEntropy be with you.

There is something I learnt is that money devalues when it is stored. It is meant to be in flow. be used for something or overtimes it devalues.

Please send me the money you have that you are not using or can't decide what to buy with it and I will provide you a monthly income stream.

Hmm, I am very interested!

I don't disagree with your thinking. Just aware that in this #TooFuckeh world there are super rich people hoarding money, and influencing others to do the same, and earning interest on money plus considering all the corruption in the system a logical analysis may not be worth the paper it is written on. Why I offer a Qualitative Investment Strategy token to share some wealth. !LOLZ

Hmm, I am very interested!

Have a look at what I am doing to grow digital wealth for everyone that is interested.

You can buy some pepEntropy at a low price today and while it grows in value you will receive some Return of Capital (ROC) for holding your tokens.
