Answer 1

Not necessarily - it depends on what and why you think about it!

However, thinking about anything at all all day and every day does border on the obsessive - do you worry about losing what you have, and does this cause you to obsess about the subject?

Thinking about money in terms of planning how to acquire it, how to save it and how to spend it is something we need to do in order to achieve financial stability, and develop the ability to budget for both long and short-term requirements and also to retain financial independence. This enables us to maintain control and direction for our lives, so that we are not dependent on others, but self-supporting. It gives us freedom of choice.

But if our thoughts are constantly focusing on money to the exclusion of everything else so that it comes to displace the normal interactions, activities and enjoyments, we need to discover why this is so. In view of your acknowledgement that you are not in material and financial need, this is the question you need to answer for yourself.

Do you have some long-term goal, aim, plan that will require you to have more money at your disposal than you now have, for example? If so, you will need to assess the likelihood of saving the sum required out of your present earnings, and if you know this won't be possible, then you may need to find employment at a higher level, where your salary will be large enough to meet your future needs by making greater savings on a regular basis.

Are you just fearful that one day you'll wake up and find yourself penniless? That suggests to me that you have some experience of that perhaps within the family, or maybe a close friend who lost their money and went broke. If that's the case, remember you're not that person - you're you, and what happened to someone else is not inevitably going to happen to you.

If you're thinking of making some investments, for example, to boost your income by bringing in a good return on savings invested, instead of just thinking about it, go and see a reputable financial advisor who has the expertise to steer you in the direction of suitable investments for your cash. If you worry about budgeting, again, if you can't do it, or don't know how, find someone whose job involves budgeting tailored to suit individual circumstances, and get their help in drawing up a monthly and yearly budget to include savings, regular outgoings, spending money and possible investments. Banks usually have people who will help you with this, so try your own bank first.

Hope some of this helps relieve you to the extent that you are able to spend a bit of time each day just living, not fretting about finance!

The act of thinking about money is not bad. What you think about you get. If your thoughts are positive about having enough money to live a full life and to help people who need help, this is a good thing. If you obsess about money and worry that you won't have enough, you will eventually attract a lack of money to you.

It may be that you should look at working with money as a career. Find what makes you happy and do that. The only time constantly thinking about money is not a good thing is when you put money above all else including people. Try to find a balance in your life. Money is a great thing to have but it is just a means to an end. You can do great things for humanity if you have a lot of money. You can also do great things for humanity without a lot of money but it doesn't hurt to have it. Just take an honest look at your thoughts and try to see where they're leading you. Keep your thoughts positive and you'll be fine.

I am happy if I can pay my bills, and have a little extra to do the things I enjoy, but I don't worry if I don't have alot. The old saying" The want of money is the root to evil", so don't let it consume you, where you forget about the important things in life. Family, and friends are the most important things. Without them you can only have material things, and no one to share it with.

Answer 4

It is alright, it just show that you have a hobby that have connection with money. Why don't you learn something like economics or work in the bank.
Anyway, remember that people who love money, must respect money, and assure that each dollar is spent for the good sake of humanity, so money can have a good name in society.
