So are you saying that having to be able to "optimize" your financial growth is the solution to having no problems with financials? Like how you are going to be able to do it with optimization? The reduction of expenses and having a larger income? It's not much of the subject that you are talking about and "invest" is not the right word. Maybe it's better if it's "saving".
It's not all about billions of dollars that you have in your bank account, it's not all about cars that you have, and it's not all about mansion that you have, but it's about the positive impact all these your billions of dollars, big cars and mansion have on the people around you.
it's the best idea for some one to build people around him or her if not for, when they are being built and no more depending on you, you will even have some relief of their responsibility on you which you have settled them of.
Life is all about empowerment, raising people up by empowering them. A man is considered to be a great man if the people around him are transformed by him. It can only be greed if one has the power to empower the people around but choose not to do. When you decide not to help people that are around whenever they have any problem they would always run down to you for help. But when you help people by carrying them along by empowering them whenever they have challenge of theirs they will be able to help solve problems themselves.
I think when you help in building people they are just like pillars to you, when you need support they can also be of help to you. This is very important to do for family members and friend because the effectiveness will still exist till the next generation.
When you want to be the very pillar of your family, try to learn how to sacrifice a lot. They said; he who gives never lack.
what goes around must surely comes around. If you don't have the discipline of sacrifice, you can not be able empower others, because it involves spending of money, time and some time your energy.
If you want to grow further, spend on your dependents wisely. that is, some time you don't just give them cash, but spend on them by paying their school fees, pay for their skills acquisitions, try to teach them how to make money like doing business, trading on Bitcoin and online businesses which most of these may require funds. Do not hesitate to help them with their need financially emotionally and physically.
