Where do you place personal interest in your economical chase

[Joy_learns_crypto]

A friend of mine just rejected a well paying job, accommodation covered for few months, good opportunity to build his career, available resources to learn on the job, she rejected this because the city the job is doesn’t work for her and her family, she is a married woman with 3 kids.

So where do you place your interest in chasing financial goal, for me I balance personal interest and financial goal. There is more to life than finances but it can help making life stable, interesting and easy.
To balance it I will make sure if that’s my only option, if I can get other jobs similar to that or more in a places of my interest but if I can get that, pick my financial targets and set time frame to my goals.

Almost every profession has this assiduous mental process where their best financial opportunities clashes with there personal or family interests.

Almost every profession has this assiduous mental process where their best financial opportunities clashes with there personal or family interests.

It all boils down to the individual involve, because left for me, my family interest comes first, then other things is secondary. It's true that sacrificing a good opportunity like that for your family looks painful, since it might be that it's what you always wanted, but you will feel more pain if things goes wrong in your family just because if that single decision by you,  so striking a balance between family and work is what we as adult needs to master if we want to live a comfortable and successful life.

Actually, what is the main goal of people earning money? Of course, to be happy and comfortable with their family. In that case, if a person cannot be happy and comfortable with his family after earning money, then I would say that earning money will not be happy for him. Yes, if there is an alternative option for that person along with having a family, then I think it would be appropriate for him to choose that. In that case, even if the amount of money is small, it is acceptable. A person feels happy only then.

My main values ​​are family, health, and an interesting lifestyle. 🙋

And the only resources I truly possess are my time and attention (focus). Everything else is just an illusion. It's very important to me to devote time and attention to my loved ones. And I understand that this, to some extent, compensates for my lack of finances.

Let's say you have the opportunity to work remotely and live in a beautiful place (with mountains and the sea). Let's say you're always in a good mood, always smiling, and very interesting to talk to. In this case, your loved ones will forgive your lack of funds and luxury. Because people don't need money. They need joy, happiness, love, and an interesting lifestyle.

At the same time, of course, it's impossible to create an interesting life and strong relationships without money. We live in a very imperfect world. There's also the question of your creative self-realization. And this, of course, is measured in monetary terms...

I worked a lot, both in a factory and in an office.  However, right now I'm completely focused on working remotely and creating a vibrant lifestyle (and strong family relationships). Things don't always go as smoothly as I'd like, but I don't want to deviate from this path.💁

Money is vital for living a happy life but its equally important to maintain balance between time spend in earning money with time spend on yourself and with your family. If you spend too much time in chasing money then there are chances that your health may deteriorateo and your kids no longer have interest in you. If thats the case its difficult to undo the damage done. If I talk about myself, then I am working hard to earn money but at the same time I am also ensuring that my kids are no ignored and I regularly spend time with them.

Your friend decision is quite relatable, different people have different meaning of success in their different stages of life, for a married person with kids the value of stability and family well being is often at a higher level as compared to the salaries or paychecks especially when the environment is not in alignment with their needs. Your mind set of balancing both things is quite ok. Personal and family happiness is usually the reason we are working and gives financial freedom, and the foundation to live well, so it is very important to balance both, it should be like a proper strategic planning to keep both targets in alignment with each other. Wait for the right opportunity that fits according to our life rather than trying to force your life to fit into that work environment. Some times in certain situations passing on the perfect opportunity is actually the smarter move

Money cannot buy happiness and money is not everything. Motherhood should come first before a mother can gain financial independence. You can get a job again and again, but once your child's future is ruined, it cannot be restored.

A woman's job is not forced, it is her choice. But if here instead of a woman there was a man, then we would have to talk differently. Because earning money is not a man's choice, but a duty. In the case of a man, even if financial opportunities conflict with family, he should accept those opportunities, and if he finds a better alternative, he can give it up. But a woman should give it up and look for a different job.
