"The Seven Cures of a Lean Purse" - Part 5 of 7

Hello there again!

I sincerely apologize my friend, I haven't updated this series for the past days. I have been busy with work and other stuffs. Hoping that you're still willing to follow this series. This is my contribution to the Financial Literacy Campaign together with @smaeunabs and @jcvertucio.

Let me open this part with,

"If a man setteth aside nine parts of his earnings upon which to live and enjoy life, and if any part of his nine parts he can turn into a profitable investment without detriment to his well being, then so much fast will his treasures grow." - Arkad

We have been told in the previous parts to start living within our means to start to fatten our purse. In our journey through that principle, we are training ourselves to be frugal and spend our money wisely. In this 5th part, Arkad assumes that we are now on our way for greater blessings and making our gold grow. With that, he considers one thing that could contribute to faster treasure growth.

The FIFTH of the Seven Cures of a Lean Purse:

▪️Make of thy dwelling a profitable investment
Own thy home

"To man's heart it brings gladness to own his domicile and to have it a place he is proud to care for, putteth confidence in his heart and greater effort behind all his endeavors." - Arkad

As for me, I am living under the roof of my parents and I could really feel the freedom of living in our own place. So, I also include in my goals in the future to have my own as well.

However, Arkad didn't mean that alone. He further emphasized to make our dwelling a profitable investment. In owning our home, we have control to the number of activities that we could allow. We can make our home as a place of development.

We have the authority to make it a profitable investment, from selling ice (except if you do not have refrigerator 😂) to sharing our spare rooms for others to rent-- all up to us.

Kidding aside,

"Thus come many blessings to the man who owneth his own house. And greatly will it reduce his cost of living, making available more of his earnings for pleasures and the gratification of his desires." - Arkad

_{Disclaimer: Me sharing to you these doesn't mean that I have successfully followed it all, but I am applying it. Well, it doesn't work over night and it won't. It entails sacrifice and discipline. Believing and following these are all up to you.}
