20 Ways To Make Life Easier

1. Be driven by ambition, not by greed. Ambition seeks to make you the best that you can be. Greed seeks to destroy you.
2. Do not seek to become rich. Getting rich comes at a heavy price. You will encounter many challenges and sorrows. Seek to lead a fulfilling life that is financially comfortable.
3. Throw away junk. Give it away to charity. Only keep what you need.
4. Always keep a packed travel bag ready with a few essential belongings such as clothes, a towel, a toothbrush and toothpaste, bathing soap, a comb, and some cash. This comes in handy for an emergency when you have no time to pack.
5. Don’t make a habit of walking with a lot of cash in your wallet.
6. Never flash your wallet in a crowded place such a bus station, a cafeteria, bar or restaurant.
7. Never brag about how much money you have or the kind of job you have. You may attract unnecessary enemies.
8. Use public transport or a bicycle as much as possible.
9. Avoid unnecessary time-wastage and gossip. They only make you poorer.
10. Create extra time for yourself by waking up earlier and completing some of your daily chores early. You will create more time for yourself for your daily activities.
11. Avoid sadness by meditating or praying when you wake up. This sets the tone for your day and prepares you spiritually and psychologically to face the challenges of the day.
12. Connect with people and genuinely help people. They are your source of inspiration. Besides, you can’t do without them.
13. Strive to become a happy person — not necessarily a successful person. Happiness can be extended to other people through laughter. The effect of this could cut your medical bill by half.
14. Avoid unnecessary spending and instead, save or invest your money for your future or the future of your children.
15. Avoid borrowing at any cost. Borrowing only makes you a slave to the lender. Besides, the debt may overflow and become a burden to your children.
16. Only eat what your body needs. Eat quality — not quantity. Quantity only makes your body obese while increasing your medical bill. Besides, this can significantly reduce your monthly expenses.
17. Strive to have quality education — not quality entertainment. This is how to get richer.
18. Encourage your children to become financially literate by denying them money. Let them work for the money and when they grow they will know how to take care of money.
19. Spend the most time with your family and loved ones, for these are the only people you can fall back to.
20. Learn to be satisfied with the little you have and be grateful for it. For there is someone out there who is praying to get even that little you have.
