As an adult, making money should be a basic skill you need to have because it’s needed for survival. Nobody derives joy from begging or depending on other people for their basic survival means. This is the reason you need to make money in life. But people fail to understand money, people work for money rather than allow money work for them.

You turn 18, and the society says this is the right age to learn to be financially independent from your parents. But the society fails to teach you that making money just don’t start and end in making it, if you are stuck in that mindset, you will end up working your whole life trying to make money and when you look back at your life, you will realize you haven’t lived life at all. Most employees make money but don’t understand how the money is made, but their boss is the boss because he/she understands how the money is made. Even in investments, some of us buy some investment tokens like @brofund, @seed, or spinvest and end up making passive income through it, but most of us don’t know how the incomes is being generated, what steps are being taken to generate those income. This is just a minute illustration compared to the big world.

This is the reason you need to educate yourself in crypto before investing. You need to understand the fundamentals and the technical aspects of crypto. You just don’t buy cryptos with the hope of rise and fall and make money through the process without education. 

Money is associated with psychology so it’s a matter of the mind, money deals with behavior, if you are not mentally and psychological sound you will end up working for money your whole life. If you understand money and the concept of money you will make money from literally anything, you can sell ice to an Eskimo. While others see a financial barrier that can’t be solved, you will be excited because you have seen a challenge and you are enthused on looking for a solution on how to solve it. You will always have business plans and ideas that will lead to a solution to that particular financial challenge. This means you don’t see money as a barrier to your achievements, but rather you see money as a challenge to be overcome towards your achievements. You will find yourself crushing numbers, having savings, having investments and having enough to flex your life.
