I Earn More Than You

Money

Money can buy happiness, and I am going to list 10 reasons why – some will be obvious, others not so much – enjoy!

1. Money = Less Stress
People who have plenty of money generally have less stress than people who are constantly worried about how they are going to pay their bills. This is especially true when you make money online, because you don’t have the same concerns as stockbrokers, for example. Knowing you can pay your bills lets you relax, and stress less.

2. Money = Better Health
When you have money you can afford to eat properly; you aren’t buying a 20 cent pack of supermarket brand noodles to eat for every meal like I used to do. Eating better makes you feel better about yourself and helps you live longer, plus if you work from home you have plenty of time to prepare a nice lunch in your own kitchen.

3. Money = Smarter Kids
Don’t get me wrong, I had always done it tough up until recently – I know that plenty of people who come from families in low income brackets can be incredibly intelligent; but with money you can buy your children countless books, and making money online from home means you are there to read to them too. There is also a wider choice of schools and hobbies, (chemistry sets don’t come cheap,) as well as the option of buying them a computer at a young age or hiring a private tutor.

4. Money = Love
No, money cant buy love – although it can buy sex, but that isn’t for this blog. The fact is being poor is a great test of a relationship at first, you fight, you struggle and you battle it out together; and if you last then that is great. However, money means that there is less stress in the relationship, you aren’t eating badly and cranky constantly; working from home on the internet also means you get to spend more time together. Of course, money also means that you can afford to do things together, be it weekends away or just buying a few new movies and getting some takeout for a nice night in with a good bottle of wine. Money helps love bloom, because it allows it a safe and stable atmosphere to grow in.

5. Money = Satisfaction
Money can satisfy us in many different ways; making money online is great because all the people who thought it was impossible are forced to look you in the eye and quietly acknowledge that they were wrong. My father was like that, he thought I was going to fail and move back home – last year for Christmas I spent over $2000 on gifts for my two sisters and my parents. He spent $70. That was the most satisfying experience of my life to date, because I knew from then on he could never criticize me again – even in a bad week I still earn a lot more than he does working full time, and I work from home in my pajamas (literally) for as little time as I want.

6. Money = Power
When I started making money online and was staying in a hotel back in my home city, I was underage – something everyone at the hotel knew because I made it clear when I told them I didn’t have a credit card to check in with and had to use cash. My first night I went to the bar and it was closing time, but they kept it open and they served me free drinks all night – needless to say I left a huge tip. When I woke up there was a nice bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label with my breakfast. Money makes people treat you well, especially when you return the favor.

7. Money = Fun
I have never had more fun than when I made money online for the first time – I took some and invested it, put some into savings for Christmas and then went out and bought myself a new PSP and a bunch of games and extras, as well as taking a week long holiday to visit my sisters. Money lets you buy things you want but don’t need, not only for you but for those you care about.

8. Money = The Joy Of Giving
Because I make money online and am free to travel, I make the most of it. When I heard my younger sister was about to start the new high school year and my mother couldn’t afford to buy her new clothes of school supplies I flew down and I bought her some great, ridiculously expensive stuff – her belt cost me $170. I then went and helped my mother load up on groceries. Helping others is one of the best ways to spend your money.

9. Money = Freedom
If you work from home and make money online you can drop everything at a moments notice. Want to get away for a month on the beach? Just go. Want to stop working for a month to try and write a novel? No worries. That is freedom.

10. Money = Happiness
Having almost unlimited money means that you can live the life that you want to live, whatever that may be. You can help the under privileged, see the world, do nothing and sleep all day – it is entirely up to you.

I would just like to note that love is more important than money to me; but I do appreciate how vital money is in having a good and happy life, and am very grateful to be able to make money online the way that I do.
