As much as investment and financial liberation appears on the lips of so many people in our generation, majority of those who talk a lot about investment are not even ready to pay the price to attain the level of financial liberation that most of us greatly desire.
At some point, you my lovely reader must have wished that you have saved a particular amount of money or you have been able to invest a certain amount into some business? If you have greatly desired increasing your financial level, there are basic things that needs to be considered and questions that also needs to be answered.
Are you ready to delay gratification?
Delaying gratification is indeed not convenient for people of my age because we all want to live in big houses and drive flashy cars, wear trendy wears and we want to do that instantly with every money that comes into our hands instead of gradually putting this money aside not realizing that the things we greatly desire are only assets that will eventually fade away but if we are able to delay gratification and put these money into what will bring profitable result, then the luxurious life we want will definitely come eventually.
Can you deprive yourself of the opportunity to live in the city?
Every country has that region that belongs to the high classed citizens, these regions are usually more expensive to other sides of the country. Although some workers in this area earn double or triple the usual amount offered in other areas, but the luxurious and expensive lifestyle quickly takes all the money away in a swift. This is really not going to help a person who has financial goals to meet, it is not bad to get an accommodation in a less cheap area and put your money into some other good use.
Do you have an idea on where your money is going into?
Most young people cannot clearly tell what they are using the money they earn for, all they know is that they receive monthly salaries and before they know what is going on, the money is gone. If you want to really achieve a level of financial success, it is important that you understand where exactly your money is going into and understand how to cut down on some bad spending habits.
Are you always spending on luxurious items so that people can admire you?
The reason why a lot of young people today buy very expensive items is because they want to be greatly admired and considered as being rich, but the real wealth is when you are able to build a beautiful future for yourself.
Interesting post. The truth is that most young people are not prepared to earn large amounts of money and much less to start a business, they do not have the necessary maturity or knowledge for that reason is that they waste the money obtained. The immaturity of the moment does not allow them to see that the future will come and with it old age, many believe themselves immortal and also only want to show off their great acquisitions.

Delaying gratification as a youth is not always convenient judging by the level of influence that comes from various spheres but as we get older we realize that there is more to life than the things we wish we had.

Your post inspired the thought of
Targeted gratification
Blockchain can develop systems that elevates gratification to something that is more satisfying. The key is the predictability and customization the blockchain could offer. Still an abstract idea but it means users have more input over the contracts or smart contracts that would govern their gratification as opposed to relying on concierge or cookie cutter solutions.
