Greeting/ happy new month to you steemians, How are you doing I hope you are doing well. I want to appreciate the coordinator of the contest present for this week teg ( FINANCE AND ME) .

How I view finance

Finance is everything about money. it include the act of buying, selling, and managing money. Finance is power, happiness and strength with money, we are able to meet our basic needs such as feeding, clothing, shelter and security. Finance also make us relevant in the society. People place more values on you when the discover that you have financial power. The problem with money comes because of our in-contentment and unsatisfactory attitudes toward the possession of money, and our inefficiencies in handling finance wisely. Some people are willing to sacrifice even their lives and the life of others to have enough money, yet money can never said to be enough. The more money you have, the more you will want more money because the needs would also arise with more money. Thus for me finance is important but cannot be compared to life. The major challenge is being able to appropriate wisely what ever is available at my disposal in other to enjoy my life.
Managing finance is a very difficult task. Though, these days it is difficult to get money, but it is more difficult to spend wisely. Some people after struggling to get financial power, spend it foolishly, though impulsive buying, showing of status and spending It without any plan. Most of such people end up in regrets and bitterness after the money have been wasted.
Again our attitudes toward finance can make or mar our lives, families and community in general. If we focus all are affort to having enough finance, as if all are life depends on It, it may deny us of joy and fulfilment. But if we view finance as something to support life and not love itself, it will help us to think better or other ways we can enjoy life even in the midst of shortage of financial power. The holy bible says “For a man's life does not depend on the aboundance of what he have”.

Do you have all you need or are you facing financial difficulties? What are you not able to accomplish due to finance? Mention 3 of them.

I don’t have all the money that I needed. I also face some form of financial difficulties. This include not being able to eat what I desired, inability to change some of my over used clothes, inability to visit and assist some relatives that needs my help, inability to participate in some programme and activities which I feel will be help to my holistic development as a result of financial difficulties. Further more, due to finance I was not able to proceed to tertiary institution immediately after the completion of my secondary education. Again, i proposed a business plan to help me to be independent and raise money to further my education, this was not translated into reality because of finance. In summary lack of finance has hindered some of my dreams and desires from being a reality.

What can you do to be able to wisely manage what you have in the meantime.

To be able to manage wisely what I have in the meantime first of all I ask God for direction to manage what I have. Secondly I would seek for opportunities to invest so as to get profit which I will use in sowing other financial needs. Thanks to Steemit. I see it as an opportunity to invest even with mean resource. I hope to increase my finance though Steemit. Again I make a scale of preference of my needs indicating the order of processing the needs might be. I than choose the most processing need for my list. After I also sought for alternatives and avenues whereby I can meet the need with less processure.

Who do you run to for help in time of financial need?

I times of financial needs, my first point of contact is God, asking him to provide for me through which ever means the will do it physically, depending on the needs, I run people I feels they care about me. These include parents and other close relatives. I may also run to place and people I might have invested something good in their lives in their hour of needs who are now doing well.

In conclusion,

I view finance as something that is capable of making me happy and having some of dreams find desires to be fulfilled, and as something that can make my life miserable and even lead to death if not properly or wisely managed. Therefore finance is important in accomplishment of daily purposes. The lack of finance have hindered me from accomplishing some desired tasks. When in financial difficulties, I run to people I feels that they care about my welfare and have the means to help me.
