Ещё немного Олежьих мыслей для моих друзей полуночников....

A few more Lead Thoughts for my night owl friends. Today I thought about money.
I can do three things with them: earn, spend and increase.
I am only mastering multiplication (The Books "The Richest Man of Babylon" turned out to be insufficient)). I’ll write about making money next time if interested. And here I will tell about expenses.
All my childhood memories, beginning with the earliest, assure us that "we have no money." It was sacred and damned matter. Mom often said "we cannot buy this because we don’t have money," dad said that money is always dirty and after touching it you must wash your hands. Grandmother - that "money loves an account," and "since there is a lot of money, it means he has stolen." So we lived, trying to spend money only if this evil can not be avoided.
Mom sewed us clothes (by the way, pretty well, classmates sometimes asked where these things came from), many products were from the garden. Furniture and appliances were sometimes given by friends. A mid-size purchase was an event, long planned and carefully sifted through a sieve of doubt. Buying a room was a thrill and for me personally seemed something beyond human capabilities.
And the funniest thing is that almost all our friends lived in the same way.
When I started earning almost nothing changed. Instead of the freedom to spend, I got a mountain of responsibility, because the worst thing that in my opinion could be done with money was to squander it. Subconsciously, I knew that only alcoholics and casino lovers do this.
At first it was hard to spend what was earned. And you didn’t have this program "When you start making money will you bring me money? After all, I fed you so many years!". In college, he overcame himself to start dining in a cafe, then to dine in a normal cafe)))
I spent my first salary on a washing machine. I was very proud of how well done I was that I bought something useful. Only it was my first and last salary there. And almost half a year after that, it didn’t work, and there was no direct craving for it. The taste for money came only after traveling to the Crimea on their own. After all, the numbers on the account do not warm. But the Crimean sun is very! Since then, I have noticed many times, the more you spend, the higher the confidence in your ability to earn, the higher the bar. Of course, this only applies to the expenditure of money earned by one's labor; loans do not give such an effect. And the story is from one of my rich friend.
A young businessman came to his senior comrade and asks how to break through his financial ceiling. A wise comrade advises to buy a red Ferrari with a 6-liter engine from their mutual friend, to which the young businessman wonders what these show-offs are for. And the experienced one answers something like this: "This car eats 25 liters per hundred. You will look differently at the money, for you ten thousand will be" just gasoline for a week. "

In the photo is the Altar of money, which inspired me to share all this.
