You cannot get anything for free. Nowadays people buy and sell almost everything. Our era is also called the era of consumerism. Wherever you go you see advertisements and hear commercials offering you to try this and that.

You cannot resist and you buy things you do not really need. The industry makes more stuff for you to buy and you spend your whole life at work trying to earn the money that is needed to buy all this stuff. But have you ever realized that this is not what you live for. You deserve more than that. Stop being the slave of the industry and money. Break that vicious circle and learn to be more indifferent to money.

1. Money is not the best motivation
Why do most of us get up early in the morning and go to work? Most would say that this is how they make their living. We need work to make money. And almost none of us would say he works just because he likes his profession. Parents usually explain their kids that their future depends on their scores at school. Good results will allow them enter a better university or college which in turn guarantee a better position at work. What for? Again, the answer is the same: money. What you should really do is go to work in order to better your inner self, gain skills and experience and be more useful to the society.

2. Do not participate in the race for money
People tend to compete when they feel that there is someone who is better than them. We measure success in money. It is considered that the more money the person makes the more successful he is in life. This is only partly true. There are too many people who are rich yet unhappy and lonely. Here the smartest decision is to quit comparing yourself to others and let others compete. Be yourself, do your job to cover basic expenses and do not pile money to prove others you can do what they can.
