Hello community, I recently made a post regarding some points that I consider important in managing our personal finances, not as investment advice, but as tips that I have put into practice and have worked out for me, and Why not share them?, So I did, more than 14 comments on that post, each one with his opinion, but smoke one that made @lupafilotaxia in which got me thinking here is the link to the commentaryand I decided to write about it.
Money, whether we like it or not, in its different forms is a great tool to achieve many things, having it gives us financial stability, we can cover our needs and feel calm to do so, help our family, enjoy, among many things we can do and feel happy about it, yes, I said happy, this aspect can be much debated, there are those who will say that money does not give happiness, and I agree with that, but what we can do with it if we can generate it, or perhaps if you want to buy a pair of shoes and you have the money to do so, does not it generate happiness, Of course it does, hardly anyone could deny it, but what if you need that pair of shoes, because the ones you have are broken, and you don't have money to buy them? Or do you have the money to buy them?
It is here where frustration can come into play, in such a way that the emotional is disrupted, and there will be those who this uncomfortable feeling of not being able to acquire something you need leads them to paralyze instead for others it is an engine that drives them to seek much more.
In the same way, I could say that having economic stability can bring you emotional stability, yes, because just imagine that you have in your bank account a million dollars, with total availability for your personal expenses and your family, and the fact of knowing that you will not have any problem in providing what you need for a long time, perhaps for a lifetime, this could generate a sense of tranquility in any person, literally.
The opposite would occur in those who are submerged in debt, and also the daily expenses are still present, who do not even have to provide food at home, which is the most basic, debt of house rent, in short, I do not even want to think what someone in that circumstance feels and thinks, and how emotionally could be affected, then, the economic is linked to the emotional and affects directly, I know.
I would like to know what you think about it, how do you feel when you have some debts and you don't have money to pay them on time? How do you feel when you have economic stability for your basic expenses, and even more?
I read you in the comments.

Very thoughtful article my friend @ josevas217, as a child we have heard phrases like: "money does not make happiness" (but it helps xD) or "money is not everything in life", etc, and it is true, money It is not the most valuable thing in the world, for me in fact the most valuable thing we have is time (and it is free).
However, as you can see in your publication, we must cultivate a good relationship with money, since it not only helps us to "like" ourselves or accumulate wealth, but well administered it can be a source of tranquility, hope and above all help. For all those around us and eye I'm not talking about giving it away, but about allowing the development that people who strive and only require help to start, but how can we offer help without the necessary resources to do it?
So it is not about cultivating avarice or greed, but as you well explain it, give your fair value to money and the well-being that it can generate for us and those around us, greetings and thank you very much for sharing such an important message.

That is the idea, to stabilize everything, to maintain an income that allows us to be well off, and to be able to help, even better.

Greetings friend @josevas217
Exactly money is a very important factor in our daily life, when we can get money we are solving a problem, but when things become difficult we worry that we can get it, money is not happiness but if the means of our livelihood and at the same time generates peace of mind. Thank you friend for sharing your publication

Very good topic...a large majority think that money brings happiness, others think it's the moments. Happiness is a decision that will not depend on money and moments, because they can even accompany you and not feel satisfied. The truth is that money translates into sustenance and even health, because you need it to pay for your maintenance... greetings.

Good insight, thanks for sharing.
I think it is very valid, many things have to do with attitude towards a certain reality. That's right.

Undoubtedly money is associated with the emotional factor, people are happy when we earn money and get angry when we lose it, knowing that our needs can be covered gives us peace of mind, but knowing that they are not generates anguish. Firstly because it has to do with our livelihood and secondly because being money the means to get almost anything we give it a lot of importance, we even give more importance as a society to people who have more money.

Certainly, money has too much importance at a social level, it allows us to get so many things, that we don't even suspect that come hand in hand with purchasing power. Thanks for commenting.

Greetings friend @josevas217, very good article for discussion, and reflection, it is true that the moments we need something, not on a whim, if not for a real need, we can feel frustration at not being able to acquire what we need, I speak in my perspective, on the other hand more than happiness is satisfaction what you feel to see that you can give what your family needs, and happiness is having them with me, that's my thinking, thanks for sharing this great information with us, a hug from a distance.

Good differentiation between happiness and satisfaction, I had not seen it that way, but yes, it is very valid what you say. Thank you

Amigo @apoloo1, no creo que sea suerte, más bien inteligencia financiera, si es tu campo de acción, seguro que tiene formación mas experiencia que te ha permitido mantenerte solvente y libre de deudas. Que siga así, y mejorando.

The idea when you have money, at least for me, is to be able to collect, save, and invest, so that the economic need becomes less and less.

There are so many people that do not have savings, only than to spend money lavishly which is not good. You have to try and learn how to have savings.
My dear friends, make sure you try and become more responsible with your money, get your finances in order and develop a strong dedication to live a debt free life.

Being responsible with our life and what we do with it goes hand in hand with being responsible with money, I agree. We have to have a clear vision of what we want to achieve to make our financial life better.

Money is indeed important and no one can deny that yet it's back to the person who has it if they can be happy with money or without it, but the thing for certain life is way harder without money especially in these years where every single thing you need to do you need money, or even the people start judging others by their money so the situation will be pretty complicated for those who can't afford it sadly.
Falling in debt is one of the worst things that might happen to someone, especially if that person didn't manage to come with a way to pay the debt without having to take it from his needs which might lead to falling into another debt.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi @lennyblogs
Happiness to a large extent depends on each one of us, it is true, it is a reality, and I agree, regardless of the money we have, or that we do not have, we can be happy.
Debts, wow, this can be a big problem, it really can be if the debt is acquired for a purpose that is not clear or if you end up making an unnecessary expense, can be whoever does it in big trouble.

Greetings friend @josevas217, certainly money does not buy happiness but it does give the emotional tranquility that the person requires for peace of mind, personally both cases that you mention in your questions have happened to me, I comment.
At the beginning of last year in the month of March I was able to get a job that allowed me for 6 months to have that economic stability that I had never had, I did not worry about the food in my home and that was enough to be emotionally calm, but for reasons beyond our vonluntad all workers were fired for family problems of the owners of the company, when that happened the following months began to arrive debts and with it the worries and emotional instability again.
Friend certainly when one has an economic stability automatically you have your emotions to the maximum because unfortunately in our country everything is money.
