Know How To Live A Prosperous Life

By Joseph Thompson


A 'good life' means different things according to personal choice, cultural ideals, and social realities. All of us want to avoid poverty, so we need to know how to live a prosperous life. We could win the lottery or inherit fortunes, but that is unlikely for most of the world's population. However, there are more realistic and proven ways to financial stability.

Many people want the simple basics of enough wholesome food, adequate shelter, and suitable clothing. Others want to dress in designer clothes, drive late-model cars, and live in a house just a little better than the Jones'. Some pride themselves on having no debt, with even their car and home paid for, while others enjoy all that credit can buy.

Personal values enter into the picture. Many feel they should spend enough on themselves to be comfortable without being ostentatious. If popular literature is to be believed, Native American cultures describe a person flaunting more than the basics as 'living like they have no relatives.' The idea is that a person should share what they have with those less fortunate. Christianity teaches that those with the equivalent of two coats should give one away.

Of course, it's true that conspicuous consumption makes the world go round. The human desire for more stuff keeps the shopping malls and native bazaars going, which translates into employment for many people. Shopping malls, restaurants, resorts, country clubs, car manufacturers, and dealerships all depend on those who spend freely. So, enjoy that elegant meal; think of the chefs, the waiters, and the bus boys.

A budget is key to a prosperous life. Most of us hate the idea of a spending plan which, in order to work, must be inviolable. However, study after study shows that living on a budget is vital to managing money. Having a set amount to spend after all fixed expenses are covered, and apportioning discretionary income properly keeps life balanced and impulse buying under control.

Studies support the truth that sticking to a budget is the best way to manage household income. People, who previously had no idea where their money went and would swear to having not enough to make ends meet, began to save. Marital discord - most arguments are over money - declined. There are many tips on how to set up a budget; find one that appeals to you and try it for three months.

Avoiding debt is another precept which much of the world ignores. Buying on credit adds interest and fees to every purchase. Peace of mind is lost when monthly bills mount up and due dates are missed. Buying on credit makes no financial sense whatever, whether it's a government or a household. Save money for emergencies rather than looking to a credit card to bail you out.

Christians attest that tithing helps; they say that regular giving earns God's blessing on personal finances. Hard work always pays off, especially if you find an outlet for your particular talents. It is good to labor when young and plan ahead so you can enjoy your golden years. Recognize the human craving for more and more stuff as the vain pursuit it is, and you will know what is really important in life.
