Saving vs. Spending
I’ve seen a lot of debate around this topic recently
Which is better? Spending or saving?
Some people sit firmly in the “better save it for a rainy day or just in case the other money runs out” camp, whilst others take the more “sod it, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow, may as well spend it” approach
Which do you sit in?
I’ve noticed many people start in one camp and usually migrate to the other, typically with age, because with age comes responsibility, or so we think
This is what we have been conditioned to think
The good old patriarchy has us behaving like sensible responsible adults putting money into savings accounts for rainy days
Rainy days which arrive by the bucket load and yet the savings never get touched
Because that would be irresponsible
Let’s talk about the actual responsibilities you have
And not the ones you’ve been conditioned to believe you have
You have a responsibility to Abundance
You have a responsibility to honour and fulfil your Soul’s calling
You have a responsibility to become the best possible version of yourself
You have a responsibility to allow money to flow through you
(which means spending the damn stuff FYI)
You have a responsibility to fix your limiting beliefs
You have a responsibility to create a more conscious world for the next generation
You have a responsibility to get out of your own bullshit and made up stories you live in
You have a responsibility to see the falsity of the illusion you have created to keep yourself small
These are serious responsibilities
These responsibilities are why you were born
Not 401ks
Not retirement funds
Not pension pots
Not rainy day accounts
Not ANYTHING which is created from an energy of fear, or lack, or void, or control
And guess what?
To own your Soul responsibilities, you need to invest energy
Energy in the form of money
The answer to money is money
If you’re scared of spending money, you need to spend it to overcome the fear
If you’re scared of paying bills, you need to pay them to overcome the fear
If you’re scared of being judged for making money, you need to make that damn money to prove that you won’t be judged after all
If you’re scared of investing because previous investments haven’t worked out, you need to invest again
If you’re scared of it taking too long, you need to start now so that you’ll soon see it doesn’t take long at all!
If you’re scared of competition, you need to dive straight in there fully clothed with everything you’ve got
If you’re scared you’re not worthy, you need to do the thing you’re most scared of to overcome the fear
Do the thing you’ve never dare do before
Spend the money
Invest in the thing
Dip into savings
If you desire a different outcome, and I know you do, then do something completely different
Dare to challenge the conventions
Dare to challenge the conditioning
Dare to do something way way way outside your comfort zone
This isn’t an argument of spending or saving
This is a calling to honour your responsibilities and invest whatever it takes to level up your mindset, your impact, and your whole life
I’ve heard all the excuses a million times, and I’ll never get tired of hearing them
