RE: The adulting lesson I'm still learning and My perfect solo Saturday: LOH#307
In my opinion, I think true financial responsibility is to stop aching on ways to waste your money on trivial things and focus on ways to make more money.
Consumerism is sort of a drug to fill a void. We tell ourselves, I need to have to feel important or valued.
In reality is just an emotion that can be controlled like gluttony, lust or laziness.
People that have a lot of money are very busy. That's because instead of desiring other people things, they desire to work on their business. That's being responsible. Maybe they do it because they don't want to be poor again, but maybe is because they believe their mission in life is something else.
Not saying they are perfect, but my point is that the goal has to be something more than just spend what it took so much effort to build.
I agree that financial responsibility goes beyond simply spending less. For me, it also means understanding why we spend and learning to distinguish genuine needs from emotional wants. Building wealth requires discipline, but I also think enjoying the fruits of your hard work in moderation is part of a healthy relationship with money. The real goal should be having control over money, rather than allowing money or consumerism to control us.
