Money itself has no inherent value; however, it is what we can exchange for that compels people to hold money and do all sorts of things to acquire it. The value attributed to money, since it can be traded for nearly everything in life, has made it the most sought-after and revered item. Today, having money distinguishes one from the rest of the world. It allows you to buy what you want, eat whatever you feel like, and drive the car of your dreams.

At the top of my list of what I have to do with money will be to get a house for myself, a house that I will own and will not have to pay rent ever again in my life. One of the things that scares me as I wake up every morning is to wake up one day to find myself without a roof over my head or a place of shelter where I can sleep and rest my head each day.

Rent has become so exorbitant, and with each passing day, it seems to be getting more expensive, having a house at this moment will solve 80% of the difficulties I have in this life, having a house will only leave me to only worry about what to eat and wear which I don’t find as challenging as having a roof over my head.

When I am done with taking care of the needs of the house, I will have to take care of
The next thing I will probably think of is to create a life where I will not need to work ever again, build a life that is self-sufficient, where I can have my freedom to do all that I want and when I want. I recently discovered from my travels that I love to explore new places, just travelling to somewhere I could just relax for the whole day and probably do nothing, this peace comes with that kind of life, and I see that life as a life with luxury.
