introduction

I can remember when my parents in-law were working in government, because of the stress they have to resign as a then secondary school principal and vice principal.

One thing I was asking them is their pension why it was so low and they explained to me that they have to resign because nothing good was coming out then, they had 5 children to care for and they were not able to do anything for themselves, not even one savings.

When they resign, both of them join their money and open a poultry farm, they sell both chickens and eggs, from that money they were able to build a house for themselves, buy car and send their children to school comfortably.

Hello friends welcome to my blog, I'm here to participate on the contest topic, WHICH ONE IS BETTER. Before I proceed, I will love to invite my friends to join me in the contest. @ngoeny, @suboohi and @goodybest.

Employee or Entrepreneur

You know they are two different topic right now?

My personal observations is that I would for an entrepreneur. Let's check out my reasons of choosing an entrepreneur.

Being an employee may make some people feel they have secure their future. They know exactly how much income they will bring home every month end. They plan their life monthly. Another thing is that they have health benefits. One problem with being an employee is they feel their future is guaranteed no very false sense of security. Gone are those days where you can find a job and work for a company so easily, but with how things are, so many graduates are not able to get a work.
Being an employee you will have to considered a linear type of income, where Time worked (T) = Money paid ($), you work 8 hours and get paid for 8 hours and this is calculated in month and be paid.

As for being Entrepreneur can also be likened to being an employee in that you must consistently work to have a consistent income. But in this aspect, you are a boss of your own, you choose the time you work.

You uses a key principle to create wealth for your self and family. being and entrepreneur is the same thing of being self-employed. You are living your business. You monitor your business, put in more effort to make it grow
The most important thing is that you see your money every day, being an entrepreneur you will be able to pay your bills without feeling it.

For an example myself, I am an entrepreneur, I do my business at my comfortable time, I am not answerable to anyone, I can decide when to work and when not to work.

Hopefully I believe you have been able to see my own point of view that being an entrepreneur is much better than being an employee.

Saving or investing

Saving and investing has almost the same meaning but in different dimensions.

Saving and investing are both good ways to increase your money but they are two different things in meaning , So right now for my answer, I go for savings.

Why I chose Saving is just like putting my money aside in a bank deposit or regular savings account and earning interest on that money. Just like the same way we save our steem in the steemit blockchain. People normally save for a particular goal, is either you saved to get a new car, a house, or to build up a new business.

Definitely yo earn interest by putting money in a savings account just for instance, if you check your steem power not exactly what you power up is there, every time, it keeps increasing, that is to say you are getting interest for savings your income.

I like using my self as an illustration, there is a particular group I do savings every three months and this savings is for my kids fees and that's how I have been operating without feeling the heat of no money.

Let's look at that of Investing, it typically means committing your money for a longer period of time in the hope of making more money than you would by saving. Some people buy lands and keep, hoping to sell it in 5 years time and make much profit, but at the long run you might lose it or you gain.

My self I bought a land 2years ago thinking of reselling it after 2 or 3 years, but immediately after a year the land enter road and some part of it was cut off and I couldn't do anything again because the remaining is just too small to build something and no one will even think of buying it, so at the end I lose it all.

So investing does not guarantee a return, and it is possible to lose some of your money or all of the money you invested.

Steemit or Hive

Both hive and steemit platforms are mostly the same. They are built on the same ground, they work the same way, but they have different leaderships.

For my answer, I believe steemit is batter than hive, though I don't have knowledge about hive, but I have some friends that blog with hive.

Steem is a blockchain, and it stores information and awards bloggers. You can create content to the Steem blockchain through several dApps, whereof Steemit is the most famous. When you have create content, other users on the platform can vote on your post. That's means you get rewarded for the work Weldon. Steemit is a platform you get paid for creating good content.
Steemit any body can do it once you are well mentored, is very simple to operate so far you can read and write.

Hive is a hard-fork , from what I have heard about hive, is not that easy to do, their methods of operating is differs from that of steem, you have to be well educated and smart before you can do hive. Besides that hive breakout form steem, though they reward their users to buy I don't know how it's been operate.

Thank you dear, I love my freedom

Hello dear , hope your day is going.Its great to read that you likes being your own boss and running a business instead of working for someone else.

You prefer saving money in a bank because it's safer and earns interest unlike investing which can be risky. I agree that Steemit is better than Hive because it's easier to use and you can get paid for posting content., really enjoyed reading your blog wish you success 💖🤗💖🌺.
