I'll say it loud and clear: money can buy happiness! Earning money is justice!
Pardon the vulgar title. Hello, I'm Goshu, a writer who loves money and is crazy about my family.
Well, I'd like to talk a little bit about money this time.
The inspiration came from someone I met at a writer networking event I attended recently, who was posting about paid notes, and I was incredibly influenced by it.
(Yes, I'm the type who is easily influenced by others lol)
*Here are the articles by the two people who gave me the inspiration*
I received some very wonderful insights, so I took the liberty of introducing them! (lol) I'm going to try writing a paid note myself this week.
Returning to the main topic, in conclusion, I truly believe that "money can buy happiness! Earning money is justice!".
Money can buy happiness
To put it more accurately,
"Of course, there are countless things that money can't buy, but most things that the average person considers happiness can be solved with money, and you can prevent the worries and unhappiness that arise because of money"
is how I feel.
Since I started working as a writer as a side job, thanks to that, my income has increased, and the number of times I feel unhappy has definitely decreased.
It's not a big deal, but
・I can splurge at a convenience store occasionally and enjoy it without guilt
・I was able to try staying at a nice hotel during a family trip
・Rising prices are painful, but not enough to worry about the household budget etc.
These were all obtained thanks to having money.
That's why I think money is absolutely necessary to make life happy, and once I realized that it's an incredibly wonderful tool!!! I've been able to say "I love money" with a pure heart (lol).
Earning money is justice
I'm saying this now that I've become able to buy happiness with money, but
"Earning = satisfying selfish desires"
was a feeling I had in the past too.
I also had feelings like jealousy compared to my past self who couldn't earn, and I would act tough, saying things like, "Those people who earn money are just tricking society and people to rake in cash! If I'm going to do that, it's enough for me to just have enough money to live!!" (lol).
What changed me was this teaching from a business mentor I met three years ago:
"Earning money is just receiving a lot of gratitude in the form of money."
(Although it is a prerequisite to earn as a legitimate business, not a scam that tricks people,) the idea that the amount of gratitude = the amount of money blew my mind.
Since that day, it has been updated in my mind from "Earning ≠ Evil" to "Earning = Justice," and I've been able to think, "I'm going to earn more!"
However, recently the feeling that it is a reward for gratitude had faded, so I wrote this with a sense of self-admonition to collect more "thank yous"!
The amount of money needed and the reasons for earning are different for everyone.
I don't think my way of thinking is correct, but it is a fact that I feel happy more often, so I hope it can be a trigger for someone somewhere.
I will definitely continue to earn more and more so that my family can live without hardship and have various experiences and choices in life!
So, one last time before we part, I will dare to say it loudly (laughs).
