They say money doesn’t equal happiness, but it buys you freedom. Whatever your beliefs about money are, there’s one thing we all have in common: needing some. I personally believe there is enough money to go around. Enough for each of us to access not only to the basic necessities, but also enjoy the pleasures of life. It might be eating out with loved ones, going on vacation, or whatever else pleasure means to you. It all comes down to a bit of planning and minimum knowledge on personal finance.
So I started Okanly, a money blog to spread the word about how to earn, save, invest, and spend in a way that fits your vision of a pleasurable life. For you to start developing an abundance mindset, instead of the feeling of restriction and limitation I often come across. No matter your current situation, I have absolute confidence that you can get wherever you need to be. You might need to change your beliefs, or develop new habits, but whatever it takes, it can be done naturally and in a way that makes sense to you.
The backstory
I dived into personal finance when I was pretty young. Throughout my teens, I clocked in countless hours reading, watching, and soaking up advice from experts about how to hit your financial goals and live the life you want. There’s so much info out there, I thought this knowledge was widely shared. But as I cruised into my twenties and had more talks with friends, family, and coworkers, it hit me – I had it completely wrong.
Furthermore, I’ve realized how much money can affect how we’re treated and what’s fair. In today’s world, money often decides how people treat you, even though things like gender and race still matter. Let’s be honest, if you look like you’ve got money, you’re more likely to get treated decently in most situations. It’s kind of sad, but it’s true.
So, money isn’t just about having a good time and enjoying life. It’s tied to our basic human rights. Anyone who disagrees probably hasn’t experienced the struggles that come with having less. We all deserve fair treatment and respect, which is why having enough money matters for everyone.
