Money and Families of Financial Planning and Stories from Inspiring Women

One of the most important possessions that one can have is a family. Fundamentally, every single person has parents and they are the reason why we are living. Indeed, we harbor a special association and connection with our parents and siblings that we cannot get from anywhere else. Even if we make new relations, we will not get the same feeling from them that we used to get our own family.

If I talk about myself, I cannot remember the time when my family, especially my parents were not supporting me. From my childhood till now, my parents have been there to help me with all the issues that I were. For instance, if I would be busy with my study, my mother would frequently come to check up on me and ask if there was something wrong or not.

You would be surprised to know that investment in our families provides us with an identity and it is critical for us. Other than helping our siblings, spending time with the family assists us in growing personally. Have you ever relived your childhood as you have helped your siblings do their homework?

Or have you ever surprised your parents by giving them a gift? If you have ever gifted them then you would know that they smile in such a brilliant and soft way as if they are proud to have child like you. Believe me, such kind of reaction is enough to make lives of orphans. If you have seen such a smile on your parents then you are the luckiest person in the world. And if you have yet to see such a smile, you should begin investing in your family.

Supporting your family and investing in them have countless benefits. One of the most important tasks that you should complete right after earning income and becoming financially stable is to invest in your family. It will give you a rare sense of satisfaction that no other thing or task can give. Following are some of them:

Belongingness of Financial Planning and Stories from Inspiring Women

Belongingness is what investment in the family provides us. There are a lot of rich people in the world who are not happy and the reason is that they don’t have a sense of belonging or even a cause for which they can live their whole life. When you invest in your family, you are able to find a cause and also a reason to live. For instance, from the very start, I believed that I live just to see my parents smile and happy and I will continue to work hard until I can give them a life they deserve. Even now, I have that belief and it is enough to motivate and inspire me to work hard.

In your life, you might encounter people who don’t know what to do and what they really want. You will see that they are confused about what they should be doing and even after having money, they will not be happy. They don’t have a sense of belonging and you can achieve it by investing in your family. For instance, if you are feeling sad about something and cannot bring yourself to work or even move forward, you can just remember that you have your family to support you. Just try it and you will be more energized than before.

Never ever remind your family about your contributions.

You should always remember that anything that you give to your family will not equal the care that they have towards you. They are responsible for raising you and your life belongs to them. It will hurt them to remind what you are doing for the sake of the family. One of the key contributions that you can ever make is to pay for their expenses and spend time with them. If you are capable of standing on your feet then you should start paying for their expenses. Don’t let your parents work if you can pay for them easily.

Although I have told you how important is to be financially independent and look at yourself before anything else, I am not telling you to not invest in your family. In fact, as soon as you start earning income which you can divide and pay for yourself without any issue, you should start giving back to your family.

According to Maslow, belongingness is one of the needs for which a human thrives. Right after safety, a person is concerned about his association with or to someone. Without it, a person is not complete and having a family can fulfill this need. Without this sense of belonging, a person will continue to search for it until he can find it.

Security of Financial Planning and Stories from Inspiring Women

This belongingness and identity give us security. For instance, whenever we are not well, when we are just scared, or when we are worried, where do we go? There is only one place where we return whenever we are afraid or just tired. We run back to home and hide from the world where our family is present and they protect us. Everyone’s safe haven is his or her home and it will not change no matter what happens. The sense of security that our family provides us is irreplaceable.

Maybe it is just nature that makes us conscious about our homes and families. Even if we travel the whole world and earn a lot of money, we will only peace in where we really belong, and that is our family. Supporting your family can be quite difficult but never be afraid of it.

People run away from their homes just because they don’t want to carry the burden. They want to live easy and that is why they don’t look back and leave their families to live all by themselves. Just as I said before, there are no shortcuts to saving money and growing it. For instance, if you don’t support your family and still earn money, there will be a time when you will regret the decision of leaving your family alone.

Instead of thinking about the financial burden, make it your cause to grow financially strong. It is quite easy to make your family your power and live by using this power. It will not only make you happy but will also give a sense of security.

Maturity of Financial Planning and Stories from Inspiring Women

Have you ever thought what is more better than earning and saving money?

It is supporting your family and giving them the financial support they need. Carrying the financial burden of your family is your duty and it gives you a sense of maturity. I will describe it later on that using your money for the sake of others gives you peace and contentment. And if you are helping your own siblings gain education or study, nothing will be better than that.

It would not be wrong to say it is quite easy to earn money just for yourself. You can just work to make money and utilize for your own purposes. This way, you will be living quite an easy life without any hardships. On the other hand, if you work hard and earn not just for yourself but for your family as well, it will indicate that you are not selfish.

Moreover, you will also be telling to your family that you haven’t forgotten them. They still have a room in your heart which will never close.
