Making Money Is Easier Than Saving Money

Throughout most of your upbringing, your parents have probably stressed how important it is to save money and to have a budget, so that the money you save can last for the rest of your life. While the logic does make sense, it doesn’t seem to acknowledge that the world is full of abundance. Why would you save money when it’s lying around everywhere? Just spend it and make more! Let’s examine a few irrefutable facts:

Saving money sucks
If you have $1000, the maximum you can save is $1000. Of course, you can’t actually even save all of that, because that $1000 was doing something (otherwise you wouldn’t have been spending it in the first place). Maybe you’ll have to sit in economy class instead of first class when you fly. Or maybe you’ll have to eat $1 grapes instead of $2 grapes Or maybe you can find the $1 grapes that are the same as $2 grapes but you’ll have to spend an extra hour doing it.

Whatever the cut you make, for that money you are saving, you are giving up something of value, be it time, happiness, or something yummy. You spent it for a reason - cause you wanted whatever it can buy. If you’re going to save, that means you have to give something up.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t really like to give things up.

You can make more than you can save
So let’s get back to the $1000 thing. If you got $1000, that’s the absolute maximum you can save - if you chose to give up the activity/thing that you spent it on. Even after all that loss, all you can save is $1000.

Now if we take a look on the making money side, there’s no limit to the amount of money you can make. You make a website and sell it, boom, you’re $1000 richer. You promote your website that has good content, boom, another few thousand. You see someone with good food and not selling it well, another chance to make a ton of money. It’s pretty unlimited and is only bound by your imagination.

So do you want to save that $1000, or figure out how to make whatever amount you want?

It’s not like people haven’t already done it before!
