Here are a few signs that will show that you actually need more money
- You keep thinking that you need a salary raise or package upgrade at the office. Usually this is a sign that you are financially crunched somewhere. This pretty soon leads to what I call “You got the wrong guy” syndrome. Let me explain. You begin to blame your boss, Human Resource, the company/organization, economy, for the way your life is soooo hard. Next you know, you talk to the co-worker, staff welfare and it leads to industrial strikes. You get the picture. You need more money but, more than half the time, you’ve got the wrong guy. You are the only one responsible to change your financial situation. This may mean prayer, more work, a side business and the list is really huge.
- You window shop, a lot, and actually buy anything on that day or any other day. The thoughts running in your mind as you do go something like “I wish I had enough money to get that”. Guess what, that is a sure obvious sign that you need more money! Why is it called window shopping when you usually do not buy anything except envy for those who are able to? Next time you go out window shopping, do what a close friend of mine does: goes into this one shop in Blantyre, looks at the thing he wants but does not yet have the money for it and he asks himself “How can I afford it?” You will be amazed at the creativity God will unleash in you.
- You see someone who needs help and you hear yourself saying “I wish I could help”.
- Your daughter is admitted in a private clinic and all you can think of is the bill, the bill and nothing but the bill so help me God.
- You do not want to check the mail because more than half the time, it is creditors in their different forms….
- Your son asks you for a cheap toy and you can’t even buy that.
- You really do not like the fact that the offering basket won’t get any heavier after it passes you…
Go ahead, ad to this list, you have been there or are there.
I am on my way out.
