About 3 months ago, I entered the toilet of my home office and noticed that the liquid soap in the toilet had finished. Then, I took the container of that soap, went upstairs to our kitchen, and refilled the bottle from the bigger liquid soap.
Few weeks after this, however, I was in a supermarket with my wife when I saw the same brand of soap I had in my toilet.
Then somethings strangely funny occurred to me;
The reason why I wasted 3 minutes of my life to go and refill the soap in my office toilet (instead of buying another bottle of it) was that I wanted to save 10 NAIRA (3 US CENT) the manufacturer would charge me for the container.
How CRAZY is that?
Wasting 3 minutes so you could save 3 Cent?
But listen.
This is where I'm going with this story;
Money is 70% HABITS and habits don't leave people easily.
Whether you have the mindset of a spender, that of a saver, or of an investor, it's all habit and you'll probably die with it (regardless of how much money you have or lack).
You see, all the talk and all the books and courses about financial literacy won't help you in ANY way except you have the right money habits.
Some people are SPENDER. that's their habit. Whether these people have great income or none, they must spend EVERYTHING.
Some people are skeptical about new business ideas and always see why things would never work. Nothing in the world can change them.
SAVERS are savers, whether they have one dollar or one million dollars.
Investors are investors, whether they have five dollars or ten thousand dollars.
The amount of money you have isn't the reason why you don't save money. People who are savers save anyway, anyhow.
The amount of money you have isn't the reason why you don't invest.
Many millionaires still try to save $5 while poor guys waste whatever they have.
I know you're tired of my long post.
Here is the conclusion of the whole matter; MONEY IS HABIT.
If you need to change your financial situation, look at your money habits, FIRST
