What are your thoughts about money? What did society teach you about money?

Our
thoughts make us who we are today and what we perform. If you want to make more money,
you may tweak your thoughts to achieve your goal.
Our thoughts develop emotions; sadness, anxiety, happiness, in our bodies that make us
perform certain tasks driving us to take actions. Let’s take an example: We have a thought of
not being able to manage everything due to lack of time. You stress and overwhelm which
leads to procrastinating and eventually you end up doing no task. If you tweak this thought in
a way that you get a feel of motivation, it will make you pursue a different action which is
positive in way of achieving your target. 
Life Lessons about Money:
We should spend money on three necessities of life: bed, shoes, and food. Spending money
on a comfortable bed, cozy shoes and nutritious food is worth it and would be a long-term
investment on yourself.
Savings play a vital role in an individual’s life. However, with saving comes investing that
amount at the right place. Hence, investing money in the market is a great option rather than
investing into gold. Over the last 50 years, the market has had a return of 10% on investments
which is way higher than on gold. An individual needs to get a better education to become
rich. Those of you who don’t have the opportunity to pursue education can still make money
by creating projects and creating values in another people’s life. One should not use this as an
excuse to be poor. 
Zakat is a religious duty for all Muslims and one of the five pillars of Islam. You create
wealth by donating 2.5% of your earnings to needy. Islam strongly speaks against greedy and
not spending money in helping people around you. Wastage is discouraged in religion, be it
in terms of food or money. If we have good intentions with money and spending, there is
nothing wrong to create wealth. 
Money doesn’t buy happiness. Being wealthy doesn’t mean that you are happy. According to
a study by Forbes Magazines, about 37% of the 400 richest Americans are unhappy. Another
study on lottery winners shows that almost half of them are NOT as happy as they were
before. It’s all about what you do with that money that predicts your happiness in the longer
run.
The first step towards becoming wealthy is to identify the basics of life. Things that make
you feel happy and what can be done to make them better. Your net worth tomorrow is
because of the thoughts you have about money today.
