Make Hay While The Sun Shines

Many people have problems later in life, simply because they did not make hay while the sun was still shining. If you're observant, you must have noticed that every single business, has periods when the demands are very high, and you're making profits excessively, and there are also times when business isn't as good.
The mistake that many young entrepreneurs make is that they assume that things will be all high forever. As a result, when this money comes rushing in - the next thing they do is engage in youthful exuberance. They start spending way too much of their income, without making plans for the future.
Basically, as a young person in business, your plan should be to make money, then find something really good to invest that money, so that it can generate more money for you. This is primarily what you should be doing - investing your money. When you do this long enough, you'll get to a point of real financial independence.

This is a point when you've been able to have enough capital to start a good business, that is giving you very steady income. It's important to build such a business in life - one that has a lot of stability. And things doesn't just fluctuates so easily and randomly. When you've been able to create such steady source of income, then you may loosen up a bit.
There are many people who at one time in life, made so much money, but failed to invest it well. Rather they jumped from one party to the next, living larger than they should. In most cases, these over spending come back to haunt these people in the future. You shouldn't let that be you. You have to make hay when the sun is shining, and secure your future.
Hi @humor0404
Making hay while the sun shines, not something I have done but it sounds good, to start spending a big chunk of our income without planning for the future is a big mistake, I agree with you 100% on that.
Best regards, be well.
High profit made from a business should never be a reason for us to spend extravagantly, although most of us make this terrible mistake a lot, the sooner we are able to retrace our steps in the right direction, the better it is for us to make sound and intelligent financial decisions in the future.
