"Money Puppies" is a representative work by the author Bodo Schäfer. It tells the story of a little dog named Money who teaches a young girl named Gia about financial management. The story explains financial methods simply and understandably.
Most people wish to be happier, more successful and have more money, but everyone has a different attitude towards money. Gia's parents believe that having money will bring unhappiness, so they have always had little money. However, the wealthy individuals in the story, such as Mr. Hannicamp, Mrs. Tormou, and Mr. Gold, have different attitudes towards money. Through Gia's interaction with them, her attitude towards money changes, allowing her to do what she loves while also earning money.
Do you also want to become wealthy? Let's take a look at the methods below.
1. Create a Dream Album:
- Spend an afternoon carefully thinking about why you want to have money and what you want to do with it. Create a list of your dreams.
- Choose the top three most important things from the list and create a dream album with pictures and photos related to your dreams.
- Look at the album several times a day and imagine what your dreams will look like once they are realized.
2. Set Up a Dream Savings Jar:
- To achieve your dreams, you need to save money. Learn to balance your income and expenses.
- Be motivated by your dream album and save money for your dreams. Find ways to earn more money and let the savings in your jar continue to grow.
3. Keep a Success Journal:
- Spend about 5 to 10 minutes per day writing a success journal.
- Make it a habit, no matter how busy or challenging your life may be.
4. Ways to Earn Money:
- Firstly, by solving someone else's problem, you can earn a lot of money.
- Secondly, focus on what you know, what you can do, and what you have.
- Thirdly, don't rely solely on one job.
- Lastly, you will definitely encounter difficulties, so always persevere.
5. Time and Energy Allocation:
- People without much money spend their time and energy on urgent matters instead of important ones.
- Every day, do something towards the realization of your dreams. Allocate more of your time and energy towards your dreams so that you can make progress step by step.
6. The 72-Hour Rule:
- When you decide to do something, you must start or complete it within 72 hours, otherwise, you may never do it.
7. Advice for Solving Debt Problems:
- Firstly, those in debt should destroy all their credit cards.
- Secondly, try to minimize loan repayments.
- Thirdly, for consumer loans, save half of the money you don't need for living expenses and use the other half to repay the loan.
- Lastly, put a note in your wallet saying, "Is this really necessary?"
8. Take Action, Don't Just Try:
- If you always approach things with a "try and see" attitude, you are more likely to give up when faced with difficulties.
- When you have an idea, take action within 72 hours; otherwise, you may end up not doing anything.
- Don't be a great thinker but a person of action.
Perhaps you currently live paycheck to paycheck or are unfamiliar with financial methods. That's okay! Start by changing your mindset. Shift your focus from what you can't do, don't understand, or don't know to what you can do and learn. This is the key to finding ways to improve your financial situation.
