Money is Everything.

99% of life's problems can be solved with money. I really want to be rich and have a lot of money. But what can I do? I am not the child of an official, nor am I the child of wealthy parents. I am fighting on my own from the beginning. It’s exhausting and sometimes stressful. But I have no other choice. I have a wife and three children who need to be given a decent life. Please pray that I remain strong.

Your loved ones are very blessed that you provide for them-- shelter, comfort, protection, and food. Stay strong and be very blessed by our kind and gracious Creator and Giver of life, work and provisions.

Do you have a home to live in? Does your family have enough to eat? Is everyone in your family healthy? If so, you are richer than over half the people in the world. We all have to have money to live, yes. If money is your game, talk to @porwest Making money is his thing and he has lots of advice and ideas.

@Faster16 I didn’t mean you don’t need money, I know we all do. You have 5 people to support and I know what that takes. Can you work another part time job? Can you find a part time job online for some extra money? I know every country is different. Maybe talk to a financial advisor? I wish you well and hope you can reach a point that you feel comfortable with your finances.

More money does not solve the problem though. It only AMPLIFIES the problem. What people need to do is to understand money fundamentally. THEN and ONLY then will money problems be solved. Throwing more money into bad habits only makes bigger bad habits. It does not make life easier if you do the same things with more money that you did with less money.

The best way to have peace is to avoid working to get rich. Just appreciate the little priceless things thrown in by each day. Work to make your life and the lives of your loved ones easy, that way you will be happy and glad.

You're right. But unfortunately, household needs cannot be bought with happiness.

First of all , no point in panic or being desperate. You need to evaluate your strengths and weakness. Next , get a job in your strength/trained skill or if you already have one try for higher paying job. Second, evaluate your spare time and then try to take up work which can be done remotely or learn a high paying skill. Next do take up assignments and whatever you earn invest in stocks and mutual funds. They will give better returns to you than the banks. These are the three simple steps you can start with for solving your financial challenges. The point is get income from multiple sources and not depend on one source.

Whatever you chase it will not come to you, but when you chill and focus on what to do you might have another idea how to earn it. I am not an expert and money is also my problem, but when I stop thinking about it, and just continue to pray to God for help and ask him to give me opportunity and wisdom what to do, helps comes. But keeping my anxiety is a struggle while waiting, but when you trust in God and find that peace that's the time I was able to rest and see things in a different way and stop chasing too good to be true online job that promise bigger salary. God made me focus on what I do, and that is writing, and as I was building my blog and vlog help is always find me. Don't give up and pray, God is always on time. Money actually is not a problem its all about getting the right idea on how we can make one and at the long run how we can make money work for us. Aja!

The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. I depend on the Lord for my need myself. He has never failed me.

Just do the best you can..I know what you mean..that is the bottom line..money..you are right. And yet, you will find...people with lots of money at their disposal will insist that it is not the way..little do they know what it is to be dirt poor.

I actually disagree with your idea that 99% of life's problems can be solved with money. It is simply not true. As I have said many times, one can be given a higher wage. If the habits they had before the higher wage continue with the higher wage, they will only have the same problems amplified. Not a better situation. At the same time, hand someone $100,000. Life changing? No. Because all that will happen is that the money will be blown and then be gone and nothing changes. The key is to UNDERSTAND money fundamentally. Understand the REAL value of it, not the face value of it. It's about what you DO with money that makes the difference. Not how much you have. If you hand me $100,000, I will turn it into $200,000 because I know what to do with it. If you want to be rich, what you need to do is not focus on how much you make, but rather ask yourself what you do with it. Are you frugal? Do you save? Do you invest? Do you know HOW to save and invest the RIGHT way? How much work and effort have you put into understanding how wealth is created and what it takes to build it? Hint: You do not need to make a lot of money or have a lot of money to become rich. I wish I could offer more details, but of course there is not enough room to do that. But there are millions of books, blogs, posts, and other information that's all out there to see, 99% of it is free, and the first step is to stop simply wanting to be rich but start actually doing the work to BECOME rich. It will NOT happen by accident, and it will not happen if you continue to do the things that are holding you back. And by the way, you CAN have a wife and three children and CAN provide them a decent life and CAN still save and build wealth EVEN IF you have a low income. You just have to know how to do that, and the only reason you don't know how to do that now is because you have not tried to learn. You are waiting for something to happen when what you need to do is MAKE something happen. Hint #2: It is NOT about making sacrifices. It is about finding the balance between what needs to happen to accomplish ALL of the goals you have. You have the desire. Now go and make a plan. Really critically THINK about what you are doing and the impact it is having on your finances. And don't forget to FULLY GRASP what you may be doing wrong so you can change it and turn it around. What the statement SHOULD say is that 99% of all money problems are the fault of the user, not the money itself.
