In five years of living as a digital nomad, I’ve learned a lot about the true meaning of money. You may not imagine that maintaining the lifestyle of your dreams doesn’t require that much money.
In big cities like Shanghai, people can easily fall into the misunderstanding that only by having more money can they live a comfortable life, or even become a billionaire in order to feel happy. But is this really the case? I firmly believe that happiness is not directly related to the amount of money. What truly makes us feel satisfied is often inner peace and quality of life.
Don’t spend all your monthly income. Save some money for the future so that when faced with some toxic environments or relationships, you will have the confidence and courage to make changes. Financial security gives you more freedom and choices.
Every expense you make is worth pondering. Is it to satisfy the necessities of life or to satisfy temporary desires? If it is a desire, can it be satisfied in other, less expensive ways? When shopping, take a step back and think about where this desire comes from. Do you drink frequently because you feel empty and lonely, or do you keep buying new clothes because you are not confident about your appearance? Try to find activities that don’t cost a lot of money but can bring you real satisfaction and happiness, such as getting close to nature and meditating.
Choose a way of making money that is more in line with your heart. In this way, not only will you not feel pain and regret, but you will enjoy the process of money flowing into your life naturally. Because you invest your energy on the right path, your gains will be natural.
Looking back at the entire article, it is not difficult to find that we don’t actually need that much money to maintain the lifestyle of our dreams. Real wealth does not lie in how much money you have, but in how you use the money to make your life more fulfilling and meaningful. When we learn to save, consume rationally, and follow our hearts, we can truly feel the happiness and satisfaction that wealth brings. So, let us start from now on to re-examine our relationship with money and pursue real wealth and happiness!
