Rise. Tumble. Fall. Such are the rules of this universe – hard lessons that must be learned outside the comfort of a university’s hallowed halls. Congratulations graduate, here is the moment you have long waited for, a goodbye kiss to nagging parents and distracting schoolwork. But before putting up your stakes in the so-called real world, are you ready to negotiate your way around pitfalls and obligated failures?
Rude awakening: Gravity dictates that what comes up must fall down.
Indeed, there is pleasure in earning your own keep, moving out of the house, and paying monthly bills you alone consumed. Also, gratification is not that guilt-laden anymore for a hardworking young professional. Or so you thought.
Limitations are often the last thing in our minds when we break through corporate towers and restricted boardrooms. Especially in financial matters, where we run amok and almost always rob the bank, as if our pockets are as deep as the whole national treasury. If anything, both have the potential to be bankrupt, broke, busted.
Not-so-rude awakening: In every limitation lies an opportunity to soar.
But before diving into an early onset of financial failure, remember that hope springs eternal, and there is a way to defy the natural gravity of your well-deserved paychecks going down the drain. And as the laws of nature dictates, first things first: work hard, snap up an insurance policy, work harder, try investing some extra dough, work even more, and soon you’ll be flying out of the mediocre window and proving your worth as a responsible adult.
Because when it comes to money, tumble and fall are not your only options. Sure, there will be potholes and unexpected risks at every turn. Truth is, there is no escaping the harsh and cruel facts of pursuing your dreams and making ends meet. After all, it is how nature destined things to be. But it does not mean that you cannot defy these ordained gravities.
