Money is hard to get ,but easy to spend.

[AmaGold70]

I have been thinking about this for a very long time,why money is hard to get,but easier to spend and I have try to make research why it's so,but I have not actually find out why it's so, because I thought that money should also be hard to spend as it's hard to get so that it would last long in our hands .because the way in which we always suffer before we can get money,it shouldn't have been that so easy to finish..

If you begin to consider the ways and hours in which one have to undergo in order for him or her to makes  money,you will feel so sorry, but when it comes to spend it it won't take a seconds, and I beginning to ask myself is it because of the high rate of inflation or that our money has no value anymore,or is that how it supposed to be?

For example: take a look at the different types of jobs we due engage ourselves just to earn money, jobs like:
1) wheelbarrow pusher, :consider the strength and time it will take to a wheelbarrow pusher to raise #5,000 but just go to beer parlour and ask for a bottle of beer and pepper soup just to regain your strength and check your pocket at the end of the day and see what was left..

2)some are conductor: it's not an easy job come rain come sun they're there standing without sitting down after everything, you just want to neat yourself up and enter a bouquet and all the whole money will disappear from your pocket.

3)some are into online business: for example Bitcoin forum after spending some many years to understand the system here and also struggle, sacrifice your time and have a sleepless night just to make sure you are up and doing and after everything and you were able to attain the requirements and you get paid and you decided to praise yourself by getting yourself a clean car,you will just have an empty pocket within a second.. and it won't be enough despite all the sacrifices and difficulty but just a second everything is gone without stress unlike to get it..

So what I'm trying to say is that there's no way, there is no short cut to make money that is so easy,but spending the money is the easiest thing to do....

Indeed money is hard to get and it is also easy to spend too but not for everyone, if you value your hard earned money I'm sure that it would be very hard for you to spend it recklessly. Spending money that gave us a hard time to make isn't really the problem, but the problem is how we spend it. Are we spending it on important things that really need money, or are we spending it to fulfill our human desires that isn't really important? They say that money is meant to be spent but we should be able to give account or put records on how we spend our hard earned money, however, I don't blame anyone that chooses to spend their money on their human desires because they worked hard for it and if they can spend it they can still work hard for another one.

Money feels hard to get because earning it usually takes time, effort or skill k there’s never enough of it compared to what we want. Jobs pay slowly & saving takes discipline. But spending is easy because there are endless things around us designed to grab our attention & make us want them right away. It only takes seconds to swipe a card or click a button. That mix makes money disappear faster than it comes in.

Money is easy to spend in the hands of very generous people there are those who are so conscious of their spending when they get money they do that because they believe the more  money they spend the more chances they get to keep struggling so they are dedicated in spending only what they have as budget. It takes dedication and discipline to have that kind of mentality due to the flashy things that could get us attracted and we will moved to spend money on them but if you consider how hard you go through to work and earn money you will be meticulous while spending.

Lol, this topic is interesting oh. The essence of making money is to spend it nah. You can spend 20000 within few seconds but to get that 200k will take you some hours if not days and the funny thing is that small thinking must be added oh before u make that 200k. Thats why they say money is the root of all evil but I still doubt that statement because if you say money is the root of all evil then what is poverty. Let's make the money first. Life is enjoyable with money oh.

[OgNasty]

I must be an outlier because I feel the exact opposite of everyone else here. I think it is extremely easy to earn money. So easy that almost everyone does it, and those who don’t earn it usually find a way to get it without earning. On the flip side, try to get me to spend money and see what happens… LOL

[Marykeller]

One clear thing is that our needs and food consumption are daily, we need them for survival, while our income doesn't come as daily as we work towards it.

It will be weird for anyone to arrive at the conclusion that because they work hard to earn a living, they should not spend their money on their needs and food they need to survive, so that their money will last for them. That's a stupid thought because someone needs strength and to be in good health to be able to work and hustle for the other days

[Dunamisx]

To get money is hard, while to spend is very easy, we have to also put in mind to also learn how to increase on our source of income, because things are not the same as we may use to have it, because change is a constant thing we can have, also, we have to put in more efforts to ensure that we do things that will make us to get more income and also be able to utilize it well on other profitable investment being an alternative, so that we can be more sufficiently independent with our source of income.

So what I'm trying to say is that there's no way, there is no short cut to make money that is so easy,but spending the money is the easiest thing to do....

Your worry about the energy expended before getting money is both biblical and historical. If you go the bible, in the book of Genesis 3:19-24, you will know why.

But apart from that, it is natural because human need is insatiable and you have to take care of majority of the needs daily for you to be able to live and so, that is why it is necessary to always put effort like others to survive. It is a race of survival of the fittest.

Another reason is that as far as you are alive, you need money and that is why we have to search for it though from different ways.

Again, depending on your country's economy,  strength, success and inflation, they determine how much energy you put in and how much you get and the cost of living determine how soon the money will finish because of inflation.

Thus, for someone who wants to conquer that energy exertion to get money then you have to work smart. For example, that wheelbarrow pushing business has people who rent wheelbarrow out to the wheelbarrow pusher. So a pusher should struggle to become a renter to others, that is working smart. There are other examples like that but the buttom line is to work smart and diversify your business to make your money work for you even while you are sleeping.

Lol, this topic is interesting oh. The essence of making money is to spend it nah. You can spend 20000 within few seconds but to get that 200k will take you some hours if not days

I think you're fucking kidding me , how do you mean 200k can be make within some hours? Are you talking about 200? If this is not what you meant then I think you're kidding because is still very hard to earn 2k within some hours not to talk of 200k except you have a decent job or a steady source of income that you can make this above Stated amount in some hours. Just imagine the stress you will undergo to get this Money but when spending it is as if you didn't even work for it, like something that comes for free without performing any task that's crazy . But if it is to spending it in ourselves I don't have much problem about that, Moreover looking good and eating good food are the reasons why we are struggling to get this money so I feel good while spending it in myself.

[Man of peace]

That's because of three reasons:
1. Own desire/mindset
2. Social expectation
3. Can't handle the stress/high stress

If people can beat those three reasons, they will hard to spend their money.

 Your point is acceptable, these are some reasons why people spend money extra vagant, in other to impress someone who didn't know how you suffered to get your money and that is very bad,i think you are supposed to spend the money where it's necessarily need to spend it, and not the other way round,you don't need to impress anyone no matter who he or she is, learn to spend wisely..

Yes your point is clear, there's some who spend their money wisely,who are very calculative in spending money,who really remembered what it takes him or her to get the money and there's no amount of alcoholic drinks he or she can take, that will makes him or her to lose focus or to start spending extra vagant, they're very sensitive when it comes to spend money.. they're people like that and they're people who are easily forget.

Many people are obsessed with prestige, earning a moderate income but living beyond their financial means. They are people who prioritize status over function, desires over needs, and what others think of them over their own comfort. And people like this will never be able to fully enjoy their lives; all they feel is exhaustion from constantly worrying about what others think of them. But that is just a prejudice because other people will never care about you.

Sometimes people always behave foolishly, buying luxury items, such as clothes and famous brands or other things that cost their entire monthly salary, while to live their daily lives and meet their needs, they take out loans. Isn't this foolish?
So, just act normally and appropriately. When shopping, shop at ordinary places where the prices are affordable but the quality is good. Because nowadays, when I go to the supermarket, there are quite a lot of local products that are almost as good as branded products but are more affordable.

LOL! You may have noticed he did not specify which currency. Im sure he did not mean 200k USD.  For example, if it was 200k Lebanese Pound that equates to roughly 2 EUR...

Human needs are never fulfilled. As soon as one need is fulfilled, another need comes before us. Therefore, we have to control our needs. We cannot be greedy for something. We have to get rid of buying unnecessary things and bad addictions.

Families must make their children understand the value of money from their childhood. They have to make a list of expenses and create a budget to buy necessary things.

That's because we have basic needs, and part of our human nature is wanting things that will satisfy us and make us comfortable. Spending money is inevitable because it's part of our motivation to enjoy the fruit of our labor. Now, what we are spending makes us responsible ot iresponsble people. If we are spending on what we need and deserve, rather than what we want, we are responsible spenders.
However, if you spend it on vices and unnecessary things, then we don't value our labor. It's hard to get money, so we have to spend it on essential things.

[Mr Reporter]

To get money is hard, while to spend is very easy, we have to also put in mind to also learn how to increase on our source of income, because things are not the same as we may use to have it, because change is a constant thing we can have, also, we have to put in more efforts to ensure that we do things that will make us to get more income and also be able to utilize it well on other profitable investment being an alternative, so that we can be more sufficiently independent with our source of income.

In addition it very best that focusing on increasing incomes and managing finances effectively, individuals can build  a more secure financial and achieve greater independence in just simple words, and also the truth is that making smart investments decisions can help grow wealth and achieve long term financial goals.

[ThankGodkk2]

Yes, but its actually money that is easy to get but hard to spend which gets ignored, yet balances out your cited problem. Almost anyone will hire another person to work if the price is low enough, therefore making small amounts of money easy to get. Then, they have a much more challenging task on their hands than they imagined. By simply giving their money to just about anyone in exchange for something cheap from one of today's public corporations, they didn't pay attention to the way in which it was acquired, then they could be encouraging bad behavior. For example, its very easy to buy an Apple at 25% off the normal price which seems like a good apple in all ways that you can imagine. But you could then learn later they used experimental chemicals to bring the cost down by 50%, and that is why the price was so low. Or, you could learn that they used slave labor to bring costs down by 80%. Ethical shopping is something everyone has a responsibility to do, and it is challenging and an important personal responsibility of morals and ethics for all people who stake a claim to those morals and ethics.

So, the solution to money being spent so easily is to spend it hardly. In doing so, the money may be easier to get as people notice your careful ways and want to do business with you more. Among civil people, money is easy to get and hard to spend.

I believe the topic "Money is hard to get and easy to spend" is indeed a topic that needs to be critical examined due to the constant hike in price,economic crisis being experienced almost all over the world now,we find out that we end up working and most times the proceeds of our hard work do not meet up to satisfy even our basic needs,you observe that a 9  to 5 worker wakes up early everyday goes to work,while at the end he is unable to carry most basic amenities for his or her family or even looking at a business owner who puts in all the skills,Ideas time and still gets low productivity at the end of the day.
Money making requires great effort while spending it can happen quickly even without much thought.
Economic challenges such as inflation,rising cost makes it even hard to accumulate wealth, it's is advisable to provide extra mediums for wealth creation,and also apply an economic principle of scale of preference thereby seperating our needs from wants when required.

If we consider how difficult it is to make money then we should also be extremely careful on how we spend it, although it is difficult as it takes one who is extra discipline to achieve this,aside from our basic needs,unforseen and unplanned needs can arise at any point without prior notice,hence while I suggest an individual should have different channels through which income is generated,minimise or totally eliminate extravagant lifestyles ,be able to choose from what they need and what they want and being able to tackle the needs first before the wants and also cultivate the lifestyle of saving no matter how little they can.

It is important to work smarter and not just harder,strategizing important business ideas, drawing business plans for long term business activities,and most importantly handling day to day expenses more diligently as they come,their are certain basic needs that cannot be eradicated but being principles at handling them as they come is still very important,for instance feeding is an expenses one cannot escape from but do we spend all our income satisfying our cravings and then money ment to spend on two to three meals for a whole day is consumed just to satisfy a one time meal craving?
As such we should be able to separate the relevant from the irrelevant at every point .

Lolipo seems to be talking about Nigerian Naira, which would mean that 200k Nigerian Naira is around $112 usd, and i guess it can take hours or days to get that, depending on your job and where you live.
But i doubt you can make that back in days in Nigeria, if you have some generic job that anyone can do.

But for example being a bounty hunter in crypto scene doesn't really ask where you are from, so in comparison to their fellow citizens they are making a ton of money.

Snip.

This is true that more money you have, more you spend. The one who gets 1000$ monthly salary and the one who get 10,000$ monthly salary both lives hand to mouth because both spends according to money they have at their disposal. That's why it's important to manage your finances and one way is to develop the habit of investing your money. Through this forum we now have idea that best area to invest is Bitcoin, whose price continue to go up with time.   

In my local parlance there's a phrase that says "big man, big problems", which translates as the more money you make the higher your responsibilities increases because you get more ambitious , your taste for things increases and with bigger plans than what you had when previously earning little. You go fast downhill that you're not well managing your funds by investing in any asset wether digital or real life assets to making returns to cover for the debits from expenditures, it's those investments that will save you in raining days.
