Does Having Money Make Some Decisions Easier?

[Cossyblack]

With money everything is answerable, as the holy Bible says.

The bible wasn't wrong either, actually when you have money, you can literally have almost everything that you desire and can influence any decisions to your favour. When you don't money, you don't have to struggle to make decisions as you can back it up with money and people will respect it.. this is why some family members don't respect a poor man decisions or opinion in a family meeting or gathering because he doesn't have money.. just imagine if he had money, they would have answered before he even spoke, they would have obeyed his decision and would have done more to prove their loyalty and submission to him. The truth is when you have money,your decision becomes law and people around you will respect it.

Well everyone has their financial status, opinions, and issues, and one thing everyone can't do without is money. Most folks even value money more than a person's life that's the extent to which the value of money has become. It's no longer just for buying/purchasing goods and services, but it also gives you comfort as an individual. No matter how big or small the money is it can keep you at an advantage just knowing that you have it. But the smaller it is, the less comfortable you are because when the money starts to reduce, you try as much as possible to reduce spending which is impossible you can't hold a 30 million dollars life style with 700 thousand dollars...
That said whenever decisions are made from depressed times or emergencies, you start making calculations, and your brain becomes stressed every single moment. It's not because the poor don't have the capacity to make good decisions but based on their financial issues, they are forced to focus on the present issues with no time to focus on future ones that's  why when emergency pops in they always fall short in what to do.It's easy to say choices and decisions cost money. So to my understanding not every financial advice can work on everyone's financial status. That's where different perspectives come in by observing the possibility of different outcomes before you can offer financial advice to each individual, no matter the status. That's all.....

Money is powerful people will worship you when you have it. Before it was written in the bible it has been confirmed to be true, what you emphasis here is true people will value and respect you when you have money and call you nothing when you are poor struggling to take care of your bills, the poor go through alot sometimes they are even accused wrongly for what they know nothing about because they have nothing to speak for them.

Money is very important and the desperation in having it has been of more harm then good due to how the poor are been maltreated in the society, you may not be too rich but what ever you do just try and have money to earn your respect.

This is where I find the idea interesting. We often tell people to make better financial decisions but how much of that decision making actually depends on having financial freedom in the first place?
Does having money give people an advantage beyond the money itself because they have more options available for them?

On my Netflix, I find it difficult selecting a movie to watch because there are many options, but someone else with the many options on the same netflix will easily make a selection, that means that it is not the netflix or the two many options of movies that is a problem but me and my decision making.
At some level, decision making is a skill to develop because there are many situations in adulthood that will require prompt decision making, under pressure, when there is surplus and when there is scarcity of resources. If you cannot develop your decision-making skills, even when you have money decisions will still be harder to take because of the many options that will be available to you from your financial position.

It is called cash cushion, which helps making difficult decisions easier on the head before it is processed.

Because you have cash at hand to be able to support yourself in case the decision goes wrong, I would always suggest people to first invest in their own education, skills and job to build that cushion before taking risky investments into their portfolio.

Without that you would end up taking loans to trade, which is one of the worst thing you can do to yourself.

If you have enough money to wait for a long time before getting a new job, why do you need the job? It looks to me like the person is already wealthy. Maybe getting a new job is to stay busy rather than being idle, and not for the money.

If you used the word saving funds, I could have related more. Savings funds is where we rely on if we want to transition from the recent job to another. It is the fund allowed to be tampered with until we get a new job after months of getting sacked. Savings can serve lots of purpose which you mentioned earlier.

[Supreme Donvic]

Having money will actually make decision making easier for you because you have a lot of options to take, when you don't have money you are limited to a lot of options but when you have money you are not limited to any option, as long as money can afford or make that option you can go with it.
Take for instance you want to start up a business if you don't have finance you are going to be limited but if you have finance you are not going to be limited because you will have a lot of options to choose from and you can do any business of your choice because you have the money to run the business or start it.

The question seems simple, yet it defies a simple answer. Yes, people have money, so they have some power. This power may not always force other people to do something without consent, but it is money that will help solve many problems. Why is this topic still being discussed? The journey to financial stability varies wildly from person to person... Someone goes to the dream of saving up and saving for half their life to buy a car, for example, while someone else's car is changed once a month. That's life. Of course, there are stories that make poor people struggle and survive, achieving great success, but as a rule these are isolated cases.

[Myleschetty]

Yes, money does make some decisions easier because it doesn't just make purchases easier; it also buys time, both of which, in my opinion, make it easier for anyone to make decisions without running out of time.
This, in my opinion, is one of the reasons why some people view poverty as a trap: when they lack money, they will find themselves in a situation where it is more difficult for them to develop or build certain things that would be easier if they had the money.
In addition, having money occasionally allows people to connect with more intelligent people and gives them access to information about investments that the general public cannot obtain for years.

. Is financial flexibility itself a form of wealth?

Yes, financial flexibility is a form of wealth, being able to be free to do whatever you wish simply because you wish it, I don't think there is any other better way to describe wealth. Most of the financial mistake people have made in life, they did so because of lack of money and if you are someone who survives on a day to day basic you will just feel for the them but of course that's no excuse to do evil but if people had money alot of the decisions they make would be better, you can ask anyone.

Financial flexibility can still have working but when you need a vacation, it is something you can easily afford and it would be your dream destination just because you wanted it, I don't really see anything better than that. Having money can stop alot of nonsense and you have enough money, you even have some advantages over certain people who don't have as much as you do and that's the honest truth.

[Bluedrem]

Yes, I think it is easier to make decisions if you have money. When a person tries to do a business or something that requires money, if he has enough money, he can easily make decisions about doing business or anything else.
I think having money increases the ability to cope with risk. There are many businesses that require investment with risk but the profit is high, in which case the young woman who has very little money to invest has to think about how to deal with it, but those who have enough money can easily invest in that business because their ability to cope with risk is high.

[abel1337]

Rich people with money, buy things way cheaper, because of their choice of market and availability of resources that place them on a special customer class.

Poor with limited resources, are forced to buy thing more expensive due to their limited buying power and unavailability of good markets, which come from they lack of funds, most times they buy goods at blackmarket rate.

Money is important to your buying power, since buying in bulk gives you access to wholesale prices, infact the rich have more access to credit buying since they are creditworthy to their sellers.

The cheap things to the rich people is different comparing to the cheap things to the poor people. There are people who is considered rich is focusing on value rather than looking rich, and those value are often found on mid range prices which is considered cheap for the rich people but for poor people, mid range prices is not cheap. The price tag of things that poor people considered for them as cheap are usually very low quality and doesn't have that much value.

This is why I can't say that rich people buy things that are cheap, they buy things that are worth their money.

Rich money are financial capable persons and it's true that they have more credibility on banks. They often have a easier decision making regarding on buying things since they most likely won't affect them with the money that they will spend. They won't juggle the pros and cons of different product just to make the most of their purchase, rich people will just choose a product that has value and is worth their money.

More money = more options and more flexible.
Less money = can be stuck to very few options

[Bigjoe33]

I started thinking about this  after noticing something that does not get discussed much when people talk about money. Sometimes having little money can actually make certain things more expensive. For example someone with enough funds can buy something in bulk when the price is better and someone who is low in funds may have to keep buying smaller quantities at a higher cost.
Someone with savings can take there time looking for a better job while someone who needs money immediately may have to accept the first opportunity available even if the pay is poor or the conditions are bad. Even with emergency having some money available can allow you to fix a small problem before it becomes a bigger and expensive one.
So maybe money does not only buy things, maybe money only buys flexibility and that flexibility can sometimes allow someone to make easier decisions.

It's not new, it's an established fact, that money answereth all things.

Money has power over almost everything apart from nature. Excluding the power of nature, then money rules the world.

Money has a say in the kind of school you attend, when you attend and how you attend
Money has a say in choosing your apartment to leave in.
Money has a say in what you wear.
Money has a say when you want to take a vacation.
Money has a say when planning your December expensed.
Money has a say in what you eat regular or make your food menu
Money has a say in the kind of lifestyle you leave..

In fact, money speaks in earth concerning life.. when you make money, the decisions you make is 100% different from the once you would have made if you were a broke axe nigga.

[Anayochukwu]

Having money is indeed a big flex because it makes you to get things when you need them and even at a cheaper price and also rich people definitely have more advantage and many options while making decisions on the things to buy especially buying in bulk, We are advice each other to make a good financial decision but in cases like this about buying in bulk to save cost we forget that for someone to actually make a good financial decision doesn't only require the intelligence or the discipline to make good decisions about our money because you lack the freedom to choose and act according to your intelligence about good financial decision. Money makes every decision you make easier to accomplish.

[Halifat]

Yes, I think it is easier to make decisions if you have money. When a person tries to do a business or something that requires money, if he has enough money, he can easily make decisions about doing business or anything else.

There are many businesses that require investment with risk but the profit is high, in which case the young woman who has very little money to invest has to think about how to deal with it, but those who have enough money can easily invest in that business because their ability to cope with risk is high.

The availability of money is what differentiate between the rich people and the poor people when it comes to any investment, a poor person will continue to analyze things, just because if he loses at the beginning that will shows that the business will not go anywhere. Poor people go through a lot when it comes to establishing a business just because they don't have enough funds to back it up, while a wealthy person took that as an advantage, because they know that even though that money is gone the backup is there, that is why they are not afraid to go into any investment.

[Taricoins]

Having money is indeed a big flex because it makes you to get things when you need them and even at a cheaper price.

I don't really agree with the idea that the rich buys things cheaper, the best I can think of is that people give things to the rich because they want to get favour from them. Overall I don't think the rich will find themselves in the same situation with a poor person to get that thing cheaper.

Alot of people have said being rich gives one the ability of having many options, and having lots of option can be really confusing, but the good thing about having money is that you can get all of them.

Does having money give people an advantage beyond the money itself because they have more options available for them?
And if that is true, could one of the hidden cost of being poor be that you have fewer opportunities to choose the easier option?

I’m curious how other see this. Is financial flexibility itself a form of wealth?

Making good or better financial decisions is not limited to poor or rich. A rich man can be making bad financial decisions irrespective of all the easier decisions that their money has given and a poor person can make bad financial decisions even in the uneasy decisions they are facing because of their lack.
Bad financial decisions can make rich people poor and poor people poorer. With all the many easier decisions that comes with having money is also many options for bad or better financial decisions.

Having money only gives you more freedom; it doesn’t make decision-making any easier, because decisions are always made only after thought and deliberation - unless you’re a mountain sheep.

 Also, don’t forget that having a large amount of money in your deposit makes you constantly calm, and you don’t worry about tomorrow or about what you’ll eat and wear - in short, you won’t worry. This means your health will be in much better shape, because you shouldn’t forget about the fact that if you’re constantly worried, your blood pressure will get worse, causing irreversible processes in your body, and this will affect your mood and your interactions with others.
And if you communicate well and calmly with those around you, it will help you build new connections. In short, the amount of money in your deposit account actually affects everything.

It is a financial stability where you don’t bother anyone to take care of your needs and also attain to emergencies. No one will want to be dependent of someone, you will need to be independent, and in this modern world, having money is enough for you to be aisle dependent because money can literally buy everything, if you don’t have money, you will lack so many things because you will need to either take loan or have to ask someone to give out the money, for you to be able to do whatever you need no matter how urgent they can be; because of these, you will need to be financially stable what is why hustling to make money is good so that you can also invest some in Bitcoin for the future because one will need to have savings to rely on in the future.
