My Journey Growing up as the second child in a family of ten, money was never a concern. My parents provided everything we needed, and my childhood was filled with happiness and carefree days. However, this changed when my father fell ill. My mother had to take on all responsibilities, and we were introduced to the harsh reality of financial necessity. With my elder brother and I being the only grown-ups, we had to step up. The younger ones contributed in their own ways, but the main burden fell on us. This period was challenging, but also a blessing in disguise.

It taught me invaluable life lessons that have prepared me for future struggles. My first job was as a teacher at a private school in our village, not the city. As you might guess, the pay was minimal. To make ends meet, I started baking and selling goods on the roadside. Juggling teaching and baking, I worked tirelessly to bring joy back to my family.

Despite the hardships, God’s mercy gave me the strength and speed to keep going. However, after an accident during a delivery, I realized I needed a change. The story of that accident is one for another day, but it was a turning point in my journey. Reflecting on My Money Life. Money has always played a complex role in my life. From a carefree childhood to becoming the breadwinner, I’ve seen both the ease and the struggle of financial responsibility.

Despite the challenges, I’ve learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and the importance of supporting my family. This journey has shaped me, and I continue to navigate the balance between money and personal fulfilment. I live my life as if I’m not in this world, dedicated to chasing money. I don’t indulge in the things many ladies do because I’m focused on my financial goals. Currently, I’m a writer, a dream I’ve always had.

My relationship with money has evolved significantly throughout my life. Initially, money was not a primary concern, as my parents provided for our family of ten children. However, everything changed when my father fell ill, and my mother had to take on all responsibilities. This experience taught me the importance of financial stability and the impact it has on daily life. My experiences have profoundly shaped how I think about money. From starting out with a low-paying teaching job in a village to supplementing my income by baking on the roadside, I learned the value of hard work and resilience. The accident during a delivery was a pivotal moment that made me reevaluate my priorities and seek a more sustainable path forward.

My pay is not bad, and I can contribute and help those around me. Money is important, and yes, it brings happiness, but not entirely. I’m happy that my road to success is close, and I can’t wait to explore the universe. Currently, I see money as a means to achieve stability and provide for my family. While it plays a crucial role in my life, I strive to maintain a balanced perspective. I don’t let money define my happiness or dictate my choices. Instead, I focus on personal fulfilment and making a positive impact through my writing career, which has always been my passion.

How would you rate your financial happiness on a scale of 1 to 10? On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate my financial happiness at 7. While I am grateful for the stability my job brings and the ability to support my loved ones, there are always areas for improvement. I aim to increase my financial security further and continue pursuing my goals without letting financial concerns overshadow my personal happiness and fulfilment.
