“Nobody Teaches You Money — You Either Learn It Late or Lose It Early.”
We learn everything in school —
how to find X, how to memorize definitions,
but no one teaches us how to handle money.
I still remember the first time I earned ₹500 for my work.
It felt like the start of everything.
But within 3 days, it was gone.
Snacks. Internet pack. Random things I didn’t even need.
That’s when I realised —
Earning money is easy.
Respecting money is a skill.
💭 Nobody teaches you how to:
- Avoid spending to impress people
- Say no to instant gratification
- Save before spending
- Build multiple income streams
- Or how to be okay with earning slow but consistent
But the world will never stop taking from you.
If you don’t learn the game,
you will keep playing somebody else’s game — as a consumer.
Today, I don’t chase big money.
I chase smart money — the kind that grows silently, and stays.
✅ Things I started doing:
- Stopped showing off
- Started tracking expenses
- Created 2 savings accounts
- Said no to loans I didn’t need
- Started investing in myself — skills, books, systems
If you don’t control your money,
someone else will control your life.
Money doesn’t make you greedy.
It gives you choices.
And in this world, choices = power.
