Financial Abundance

I started being more financial savvy only at later part of life. I started my career as an educator. Even though I have a finance degree, the piece of paper is never made full use of. My life experiences have taught me enough to maneuver through my different life stages.

A book that heavily influenced me is "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. The key learning for me how to make money work harder for you and not the other way round. Looking back, I wish I could have done better. With the vast amount of information available on the internet now, it was definitely easier for many to pick up the skills.

Having a growth mindset is also very important. Instead of saying "I can't afford it.". I should ask myself, "How can I afford it?". With such growth mindset, it then allows us the opportunity to "get out of the rat race" and not feel stuck in the financial situation that we may be facing.

Being in the financial industry now, having financial freedom is what most people talk about. Instead of looking just at that, maybe we should look at financial abundance. Here are ten stages of wealth, shared interestingly by investmentmoats.com. The highest stage of wealth is financial abundance.

Why do we limit ourselves to having only financial freedom and not financial abundance? When we have financial abundance, we can then achieving our life goals and share the abundance with others. Life will be beautiful when you share the joy (of wealth) with others. :)
