Real value of money

Money is not the cause of the wealth of life - this is the effect

Money is a touchy subject. This is because most of us, to a certain extent, relate most of our self-esteem and identity to our work and the amount of money earned. This is literally a market assessment of our skills and competence as a person, and therefore we all become a little intrigued and fidgety in the armchairs whenever the issue concerns banknotes.

But money is simply an arbitrary designation of value. This is not the value itself.

There are many values in life. For example, time. Knowledge. Happiness and other positive emotions are one of the forms of value. Money is often only a means of interchangeability of these different forms with each other.

Money is not the cause of the wealth of life. This is an effect. Similarly, when people assume that money is the cause of their problems, they are in fact mistaken. Usually money is the most noticeable effect of their problems.

Money flow. Their meaning becomes clear only when it is activated. Therefore, money is a reflection of the owner's values and intentions.

Most people make mistakes, trying to be rich in order to possess a lot of things or achieve some kind of fame or status. I could spend the entire limit on my credit card, buying VIP tables in Vegas for all weekends and doing selfies with Ivanka Trump, but that will not make me rich. On the contrary, it would make me a jerk and a laughingstock.
