Money, Skills, and Respect: Building Your Future the Right Way

[Jatiluhung]

Well, everything related to money will always be quite important. And building good and proper finances from a young age is very important, especially before the age of 30. Building good finances also requires a good job, and a good job is one that provides us with a decent income. And usually, jobs that offer decent salaries can only be obtained when we have specific skills in a particular field. This is what motivates us to learn various skills from a young age and excel in several fields that we like or are good at. Clearly, from the start, we must have several things that make us superior to others. That way, our chances of getting a decent job will always be higher than others.

Financial independence is essential. You need to improve yourself and be ready for opportunities. Opportunities don't always come, but when they do, you need to be prepared and have a plan in place. This is generally the case in the job market, as those who can seize opportunities achieve their goals more easily.

To find a good job, you need certain skills. To stand out from the crowd, it's important to develop yourself and possess a wealth of knowledge. Depending on the job, different skills may be required, and developing your skills in those areas will always give you an advantage.

Well, that's the reality. even someone with extraordinary skills or who is far superior to others will always find that job offers or opportunities require people with those specific skills. So sometimes it's the job that comes to you, not the other way around. therefore, equipping yourself with sufficient knowledge and skills will be an important foundation for getting a good job. From there, we will be able to start earning more money. however, since this is about building the future in the right way, the real test will come after we have successfully earned enough money. That is, how our financial management will be tested.

However, if you are looking at a poor man's perspective, most of what you've mentioned are just left too good to be true because instead of living life carefree and exploring all the opportunities around, this poor person will just end up working and working just to ensure the survival of the family.

Not everyone is given the best opportunities in life, some are just left in the corner trying to fit theirselves on which they can think they can be of great need, and in which they can highly benefit.

Living a good and balanced life may only be possible with rich people, leaving the poor focused on working for survival.

[Maslate]

I have to agree that when you improve yourself, all good opportunities will definitely come near you. But some people do not see it as a priority, as they focused more on working for other people instead of working for themselves. And I cannot blame these people because they are not just living for theirselves but for their family and loved ones.

However, there's always a time to improve oneself. But it takes time as it will never happen overnight. It's a long process but with patience and consistency, whatever your goal is, it will be achieved in its perfect time.

Middle class also can live a balanced life depending on how satisfied they are with lives. But this is the reality about life that everyone knows. There is a huge difference of the way we live from the rich class people and that's why if we're going to have that opportunity to live a better life, we'll certainly going to choose it without any hesitations at all. And the people who are from the poor status, it's true that they're there to survive and will live through with it. Unless they change their mindsets and they look for better opportunities.

When you improve yourself, all kinds of opportunities increase. Focus your time and energy on your own work and business. What are your thoughts?

This world is unfair... If you live in a poor country with weak education and no real opportunities, self-improvement is pretty hard, or impossible. Conditions matter a lot... when basic needs aren't met, it's hard to focus your time & energy on improving yourself. Simply, when you are hungry, all you can think about is food, and you are busy staying alive.

Long story short, opportunities matter. Good education and mentors... some kids get it by default, some kids have to fight to get access. And when opportunities are super rare, it's hard to spot them at all...

“It is hard to convince a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

Before the age of 30, the most important thing is to focus on your career and your income. Unfortunately, many people lose this crucial time by losing focus and wasting their energy on the wrong people and distractions. Thinking seriously about your career is extremely important.

5 Tips to Invest in Yourself:
Learn skills – Build skills that will support your profession and future growth.
Maintain your health – Take care of both body and mind (proper food, exercise, and sleep).
Learn about money – Improve your financial literacy: earning, saving, and investing.
Build relationships – Spend time creating quality connections and a strong network.
Gain experiences – Travel, learn new things, and create meaningful memories.

When you improve yourself, all kinds of opportunities increase. Focus your time and energy on your own work and business. Does your position in society depend on money? To some extent, yes. Does earning money increase social respect? In many cases, yes. Financial independence often brings more recognition, influence, and confidence. Is money a powerful thing? Absolutely. Money is very powerful, but it is not everything. It can buy opportunities, security, and freedom—but it cannot buy character, values, or true respect. What matters most is using money as a tool, not making it the ultimate goal. What are your thoughts?

The process of personality development cannot be measured by one's current age. Those who blame their youth for missed opportunities are often judged, and this, instead of motivating, can destroy one's hopes of improving their lives. Enjoy your free time to the fullest before it's too late, but that doesn't mean you have to live a toxic life.

Although between the age of thirty to fourty is the right time for one to build themselves because that's the period when a man maturity is complete but it is actually not the benchmark. You may succeed before or after that but what matters the most is having a direction at every point of your life. In as much as I agree with you that money can not buy character, I disagree that money can not buy true respect. People don't longer respect personality, they respect wealth. Once you're wealthy, your character contributes just little to people but your money will do the rest. People respect your money and not you. Even if you have good character and you have no money, to hell with your good character. We are living in such a terrible world now.

The process of growth starts the moment you have been born and at the different stage of life, there are things you are expected to learn which jointly contribute to who you will end up becoming in the long run.  the quest for money comes at a certain age but before then, you are going to use most of your time to build other things like a good character, noble relationship, the right skillset and every other traits that stands to complement the building up of a complete person. build and acquire the right things when you are able to, it is the sure way a present that is meaningful and a future that is going to be void of challenges.

Even if you have good character and you have no money, to hell with your good character. We are living in such a terrible world now.

Not stopping is the key here and that is what makes you money or gets you respect. Doesn't mean you have to be successful right now, it just means you have to be working towards it and not give up, and compared to many who gave up, you will most likely do better.

Of course there are so many people out there who work super hard and get nothing, but that is normal and doesn't mean you should give up. In your 20's even if you work hard, unless you are working for yourself, then you won't make that much money, only when you near your 40's where you will start to make some real money.

5 Tips to Invest in Yourself:
Learn skills – Build skills that will support your profession and future growth.
Maintain your health – Take care of both body and mind (proper food, exercise, and sleep).
Learn about money – Improve your financial literacy: earning, saving, and investing.
Build relationships – Spend time creating quality connections and a strong network.
Gain experiences – Travel, learn new things, and create meaningful memories.

Out of these five important factors in life to money and wealth, the last two come with aging. What I mean is that they come later in the future or their importance is more established in the future. Like you need skill to make money and build it with living a good life but if you don't create a healthy relationship character then you can crumble faster than you know it. You need people to climb and grow. The way you treat people matter so that in case you are falling in the future, it is those whom you have helped that will remember your good deeds to them and support you. People are like lader you use to climb up or down, you can't bully people because you have money. So to maintain money and also grow it, you have to learn how to build relationship. This is why they say image is better because it speaks for you even when you are not there physically. Human capital development is an asset built in relationship.

Also for experience, it is acquired with time and it is necessary to sustain money. What matters is how you understand that falling is not about failure but about how you are able to rise again and if you are experienced, you can manage money to grow it back because you might have had such kind of experience before. I totally agree that young age is necessary for building of numerous skills, they are helpful to build money. Old is is difficult for skill acquisition.

These are all important aspect that we should give attention in our life. But the truth is, it's hard to focus on all of these at the same time. You can probably give more attention to like two or three things on this list. But you can't have it all at the same time.

For me, at early 20s or even before you reach your 20s, you can start on building your skills, and start learning about finances. Basic financial literacy and adapting these knowledges in your life is important for your growth. Late 20s to early 30s, you can focus on making connections, experiences, while keeping check on your health.

You are definitely correct but do you know one thing you missed Planning like basically​ Yeah true time waits for no one and every second minute you waste can definitely be put to good use, and you will indeed see your rewards. Unfortunately everyone has to start from somewhere and gradually build. And another thing you missed is that doing these things aren't easy definitely he or she would need patience and tolerance to be able to invest on themselves.

​Overall building one's self future comes from determination and good relationships like you said. Because to me, I always have this courage to challenge myself whenever I know someone is raising their hopes for my success definitely it makes me work more and more harder just to prove to that person that I am not a disappointment. Which if I may say to me it's very good because at times I make it my goal to achieve what I want and at the same time prove my worth​So yeah that's all for me...

Financial literacy should start at an early age. In fact, it should start from home through the parents. Parents should be able to teach their children how to earn, save, and invest money. When children are not trained to be financially responsible, they end up becoming reckless when they become adults. Most wealthy families that have maintained transgenerational wealth, expose their young children to financial management and investment.

At age 22, many people have left college and might have started working. I believe that some of these qualities should be mastered before the age of 20. Learning skills, knowledge on finance, healthy living, and building relationships should be learned in the early years. While gaining experience comes as we progress in age.

These days, the tech industry is making young people who are less than 30 years old successful. This might be because they were exposed and focused on a career at an earlier age. Anyway, you have made a good point. Young people should avoid all forms of distractions and focus on doing something meaningful with their time and strength.

Those who are making tiktok videos and dancing, calling themselves content creators, especially those girls who show their figure haha to make money is a awesome money glitch. Even some youngsters are so sharp that they have created AI generated girls to make money online.

But on the other hand, those who did not liked this line of work, they are stuck in 9 to 5 jobs. They are stuck there, some are pursuing their goals with scholarships but yes new generation is more successful then the older ones because of evolution.

Tech industry is helping most of them these days, but all of them are already compromising on their health.

A balanced life can have different meanings in each of our brains. This isn't just for the wealthy in the upper classes, but also for the middle and lower classes. When it comes to work, they all work according to their proportions. The only difference is the returns they receive from their work, as many factors contribute to this. However, this doesn't mean that rich people have a more balanced life. Balance arises from a calm state of mind while still working. The most important thing is that we still have work that produces results, and essentially, our productivity from work produces results, our lives are healthy, our families are secure, and we have savings that are sufficient with our spending habits. We can't compare the rich with the poor when it comes to life balance.

What's certain is that skills and knowledge will increase our chances of reaping the benefits, so keep growing and working for your life, friend.

These days, people have forgotten what character, values, and respect are. They are after one thing, how to earn more and more money, they are not thinking about whether what they are doing is good or bad. They just keep doing it. Something wealth is only in money, but health is wealth. That's true, a person can have many problems that they can solve, but with one health problem, anything can vanish.

I pray no one has to see that day.
Therefore, build a a network, be good and sincere with everyone, if you are in business, then you will know how valuable these characteristics are in business, but don't let your sincerity blind you from deceiving people.

But we all know in the long run, our wealth is just passing by, what is left is the character we were able to build. So if you have been respected because of your wealth status, know that its not forever. Once you lose your wealth, people won't recognized you anymore, and that's the saddest reality.

However, if you can build both your character and your financial status, that will go a long way. You know you aren't just for fame, but people recognized because you are good and respectable enough.
